SCG Muang Thong United will be without regular starters Willian Popp and Saringkhan Promsupha but their coach Mario Gjurovski is confident of picking up three points from their Thai League 1 game against PT Prachuap today.
The league returns after a weeklong break for the Cup matches with the game between hosts Muang Thong and Prachuap at 6.30pm.
Gjurovski said the Kirins are coming off tough games against Port and BG Pathum United and face another difficult task at home against Prachuap.
"PT Prachuap are a good team. This will be another tough game for us, but it makes no difference because we want three points from the match," said the Muang Thong coach.
"We will not have Willian and Saringkhan due to injuries -- we also have to check the fitness of Derley and Sorawit Panthong.
"We will have to rotate the players once again.
"Many people were surprised by our picks for the match against Pathum United, but we did well and were able to beat the league leaders in the Cup game.
"It is home game so will be going for a win for sure."
PT Prachuap assistant coach Phansa Meesatthum said: "None of our players is injured or suspended.
"At this moment, we are not doing well but we will try our best.
"Our last two matches of the first leg are against Muang Thong and Buriram United, so we will be content to claim a point each from these two games.
"For the second leg, we will have Adnan Orahovac and also Anawin Jujeen, and William Henrique and Willen Mota are already doing a good job.
"This Muang Thong squad is loaded with talented youth and it is not easy to shut down their attacking game."
