With Buriram United having secured the Thai League 1 crown, the focus will now be on the other end of the table.

Lampang and Nongbua have booked tickets to Thai League 2, and four teams will fight to avoid the last relegation spot in the final three games.

Lamphun Warriors, who are third from last, have 27 points, two behind Khon Kaen, Nakhon Ratchasima and Prachuap.

On paper, Lamphun have an easy task and should have few problems when they host bottom club Lampang, who are making a quick return to T2, today.

Also today, Khon Kaen travel to Police Tero, while Nakhon Ratchasima visit Chonburi.
