TAL Season 3 (Division 2): Gameweek 2 Preview

FC Sparta Bengaluru gave a very good account of themselves but were unlucky to lose last week.

8.30 AM: FC Brunton V FC Kudlu

FC Brunton and FC Kudlu start things off for the day as the two clash in their first meeting in TAL. This should make for an intriguing match between two good teams. Both teams will look to make use of the strong attacks they have, with Brunton probably having the edge over their rivals in the defensive department. Brunton though, will need to neutralize the pacey forward line of Kudlu to get a result from this one.

Crystal Ball: FC Brunton 2-2 FC Kudlu

10:00 AM: FC Bengal v Athlos United FC

FC Bengal will play Athlos United FC in what is technically Bengal’s first game of the season after last week’s fixture was postponed. Athlos will be out for blood after FC Bengal poached one of their star players Sunny Subba and will look to rebound from their last game. FC Bengal will look to inflict further misery upon their rivals who were dull at the best in their goalless draw last week.

Crystal Ball: FC Bengal 1-2 Athlos United FC

11:30 AM: Al-Fateh v Grasshoppers FC

The final game of the morning session is the potential blockbuster between Al-Fateh and Grasshoppers FC. Grasshoppers are on top after a dominant display whereas this will be the first outing for Al-Fateh. In what can be an early title decider, what remains to be seen is if Grasshoppers can take advantage of early jitters if any, from Al-Fateh

Crystal Ball: Al-Fateh 2-1 Grasshoppers FC

1:15 PM: FC Sparta Bengaluru v Netbusters FC

The afternoon session kicks off with FC Sparta squaring up against Netbusters FC. This will be another tight match, the outcome of which might prove crucial come the end of the season. FCB Sparta were unlucky to have a lost their first game in the manner they did and will be looking to set things right. Netbusters will need to string a few results together to get into the mix of things.

Crystal Ball: FC Sparta Bengaluru 1-2 Netbusters FC

2:45 PM: Titans FC v FC Lawless

Up next is the game between Titans FC and FC Lawless. Titans have shown that they have a solid unit and seem like a tricky proposition for any team. Lawless meanwhile were all over the place and were put to task by Grasshoppers FC. But their forward line showed a lot of promise and that should be good enough encouragement going forward. Another intense game in the making and should produce some storylines.

Crystal Ball: Titans FC 2-1 FC Lawless

4:15 PM: Joras v Diablos FC

The clash between Joras and Diablos FC rounds off the action for the day. Joras got off to a good start but were pushed to the limit by a resurgent Kudlu side. A determined Diablos side that was frustrated by Athlos on the opening day will punish such complacency. This is another crucial tie for the title race with Joras looking like equals to Diablos.
