H2H


This will be the first-ever meeting between Pathum United and Aston Villa.

Pathum United Lacking Form


Pathum United are inconsistent and have won just three of their last seven games. The Thai outfit lost 1-0 against Port MTI FC in the League Cup final at the end of the 2025/26 season. 

Vladimir Vujovic’s side then started pre-season with a 5-0 victory against third-tier opponents Roi Et United. 

The Rabbits couldn’t build on that victory and fell to a 3-0 friendly loss against Buriram, conceding all three goals in the first half. 

Aston Villa Are High-Scoring


Unai Emery’s Aston Villa ended 2025/26 in strong form and won four of their last five matches. Villa scored 15 goals and conceded five in that run. 

The Premier League team thrashed Walsall 5-0 in their opening pre-season friendly. Back-to-back losses against FC Porto 2-1 and Villarreal 4-2 followed.

The Villans hit back with a 3-1 triumph against the Ligue 1 All Stars. Emi Beundia and Ross Barkley scored in the first half and Brian Madjo netted a third in the 58th minute. 

Predicted Starting Lineups & Team News


Pathum United (4-4-2): Saranon Anuin; Lucas Andersen, Waris Choolthong, Chonnapat Buaphan, Chanon Tamma; Fabio Kaufmann, Chanon Kaman, Sarach Yooyen, Raniel; Tomoyuki Doi, Patrik Gustavsson
