Suphanburi host Samut Prakan in a battle for survival in Thai League 1 tomorrow.

With bottom club Chiangmai preparing to play in Thai League 2 next season, Suphanburi and Samut Prakan are currently occupying the two remaining relegation spots.

But while Samut Prakan need a miracle to stay up in the top flight, Suphanburi still have a realistic chance of keeping their T1 status.

Suphanburi are three points behind Prachuap with a game in hand.

Prachuap travel to Police Tero today.

"We have three matches left and all are very important for our team," Suphanburi assistant coach Sathaporn Wajakum said.

Dubbed "Survival Specialists," Suphanburi conceded a last-gasp goal in their 2-1 loss to Police last week.

"We are in this position because we have made a lot of mistakes," Sathaporn said.

"We must make fewer mistakes in our final games."

Suphanburi's strike force will be led by Danilo Alves who has scored 10 league goals this term.

Samut Prakan are eight points from safety and coach Yasushi Yoshida admitted that his men must beat Suphanburi to keep alive their slim hopes of survival.

"We must attack them from the start to get three points," he said.
