I'll be returning to this study, adding more columns. 
For the moment the comparison is government, religion and what side of the road they drive on.

At home I watched Udon fc and Nong Buea Pitchaya fc  1 -1 
at  SMMTV (Sport) 
Nong Buea Pitchaya had won over Sakon Nakhon in the season opening game 1 - 0
Sakon Nakhon will face Udon fc, third in the league, in a game on April 5, at Udon Thani
Sakon Nakhon FC games have shown improvement in the recent past.
Unfortunately in seven games they have achieved only two goals, while letting 10 slip in.  There had been plenty of near misses, which made the game interesting, no score though.

  Next Saturday, March 28, 4 pm,  Sakon Nakhon fc 
   hosts  Chaiyaphum United

  Chaiyaphum United is tenth in the league.
  Sakon Nakhon is 15th in the league.

  The point spread is not that great:

  •  Sakon Nakhon 5,
  •  Chaiyaphum United 7
