2024/2025 Fixtures
Can a squad of young players bring a run of three relegation (or near-relegation) seasons to an end?
(All fixtures are Thai League 2 unless stated)
Sat 10th August
Mahasarakham SBT 2-0 Samut Prakan (attendance: 1,644)
A threadbare Samut Prakan squad of just 13 eligible players fought bravely but fell to an opening weekend defeat in a game low on quality and goalmouth incident. A goal in each half for The Purple Crabs did the damage on what was an unbearably humid evening.
Sun 18th August
Samut Prakan 3-2 Trat FC (attendance: 349)
Fans were treated to a five goal-thriller at the Latkrabang 54 Stadium, Samut Prakan's new home ground for the season. Narongrit Kamnet's terrific injury time winner capped an incredible second half team performance and sealed victory for the home side after Trat FC looked to have rescued a point with a 90th minute equaliser from Phillerson.
Sat 24th August
Chonburi 1-0 Samut Prakan (attendance: 4,459)
Samut Prakan made the short journey south to take on the league leaders and title favourites Chonburi. After an even first half in which the visitors probably had the better chances, the Sharks moved up a gear in the second period and a 64th minute goal from Derley proved to be enough to settle the contest. This was something of a free hit for Samut Prakan though.
Sun 1st September
Samut Prakan 0-0 Chainat Hornbill (attendance: 489)
A forgettable goalless draw with neither side deserving three points, but thankfully the rain kept off until just after the final whistle. The attendance of 489 was a significant and encouraging improvement on the first home game.
Wed 11th September
Surin KCM FC 2-0 Samut Prakan (attendance: 150)
FA Cup first round. Samut Prakan travelled to the north-east and crashed out of the FA Cup competition at the first hurdle, beaten 2-0 at third division Surin KMC on a difficult pitch. They can have no complaints though; Surin had a perfectly good goal chalked off for offside in the first half, and hit the woodwork several times in the second. A disappointing display from a fairly strong Samut Prakan starting eleven.
Sat 14th September
Nakhonsri United 1-1 Samut Prakan (attendance: 726)
A combination of poor finishing from the home side and the odd slice of luck resulted in Samut Prakan snatching an unlikely point down in the deep south. Nonthaphut's sidefooted shot on four minutes put the visitors in front, with Nakhonsi finally breaking Samut Prakan's defensive rearguard seven minutes from time.
Sun 22nd September
Samut Prakan 2-2 Police Tero (attendance: 462)
Police Tero, two goals up at half-time and cruising to victory, will be kicking themselves for not going home with all three points. Bubba Abbo's close range header on 73 minutes gave Samut Prakan a lifeline, before Korean midfielder Jeong Jinyeong scored with the final kick of the match. It was probably an undeserved point, but an impressive and spirited comeback nonetheless.
Sat 28th September
Kasetsart FC 2-1 Samut Prakan (attendance: 968)
Samut Prakan dropped further towards the relegation zone after losing at Kasetsart FC. A poor playing surface meant it was all about which team would adapt better to the conditions, and although Prakan managed to keep danger man Steven Langil relatively quiet, Kasetsart's all-round play was better. That's now four trips to the Insee Chantarasatit Stadium without a win.
Wed 2nd October (Revo League Cup)
Prime Bangkok 1-2 Samut Prakan (attendance: 269)
Panudech Maiwong made a welcome start in midfield after virtually a year out of the team due to injury. He went on to score one of the goals that put Samut Prakan in the hat for the next round, and a seriously potential banana skin was avoided.
