Nakhon Ratchasima coach Teerasak Pho-on yesterday urged the Swat Cats to keep on fighting for their survival in Thai League 1 ahead of their away game at Sukhothai this evening.

Nakhon Ratchasima are currently just one point above the three-team relegation zone with 21 points, while Sukhothai are in 10th place with 26 points.

Teerasak told the media yesterday that he had no injury worries at the moment.

"The good thing is that for the first time this season we scored three goals in a match in our victory over Lampang last weekend," he said.

"What made it even better was that we didn't concede any goal. This has given the players renewed confidence.

"Sukhothai are always good at their home so we can only underestimate them at our own peril.

"We are out of the relegation zone but we are only one point away from it. One bad game can change everything.

"I keep on reminding the players that our survival in the top league depends on continuing our fight and that they must try their best to help us pick up any points that we can."

Meanwhile, Chiang Rai United coach Gabriel Magalhaes is also hoping the Beetles will be back at their best when they take on Ratchaburi at home tomorrow night.

While Magalhaes is worried about the absence of suspended Thanasak Sisai and injured stars Marco Ballini and Atthibodi Athirat, he said he is still aiming for a victory over Ratchaburi.

Ratchaburi coach Xavi Moro has worries of his own.

"Our away record is not good and we didn't produce a good result in our last game, so I am expecting a response from the players," he said. "We are hoping for a good result at Chiang Rai."
