But these aren’t your 2014 Dolphins and Saturday’s match we will finally get to see if all the hype over this year’s Pattaya team is warranted.
The match, set to kick off at 7pm at Surakul Stadium in Phuket Town, will most likely be a see-saw affair with tons of action on the wings. Coach Daeng’s counter-attacking style, which so far has served Phuket FC decently will no doubt be in effect.
Surely former Pattaya United player and current Phuket FC defensive midfielder Moussa Sylla will be called upon to provide assurance on defense.
Last season, Coach Daeng’s style gave teams fits early in the season but Pattaya just barely avoided relegation with a 14th place finish in Yamaha League-1.
This season, with the help of former Phuket FC striker Anusak Laosangthai, Pattaya United have turned in some impressive performances, including a 5-1 trouncing of Samut BTU and a 2-0 win over PTT Rayong.
Still, both teams enter this game with identical records. It will be up to a strong and fast Phuket defense to keep up with speedy Pattaya strikers like Anusak.
