The Thunder Castle won the T1 title for the 10th time on Wednesday night after they hammered Nongbua Pitchaya 7-0 at their Chang Arena.

They finished the 30-game season on 70 points, one ahead of second-placed Bangkok United.

Buriram coach Osmar Loss Vieira is set to rotate his squad, with top scorer Guilherme Bissoli and goalkeeper Neil Etheridge expected to be on the bench for today's match.

But the likes of Sasalak Haiprakhon, Ratthanakorn Maikami and Theerathon Bunmathan are all expected to be in the starting line-up.

The two teams met in the FA Cup in 2016, with Buriram winning 5-0.
