We are into the final 5 game weeks of the season and teams have a lot to play for. There are still three teams in contention for the title while there are five potential teams in the running for promotion. The bottom group of teams can all be dragged into the red zone and need wins to change things soon.
7:30 AM – Royal Eagles FC v Rangers FC
The opening match of GW 7 has two struggling teams taking on each other when Royal Eagles take on Rangers. Royal Eagles have not been at their best in the past few games and have suffered big losses without scoring any goals.
Rangers are also in a similar position and have wasted the immense amount of talent in their squad. For both teams, now is the time to change things up and we expect both of them to come out of the gates, guns blazing. This match could set the tone for the rest of the games in the day.
Crystal Ball: Royal Eagles FC (2) – (2) Rangers FC
8:45 AM – Brothers United v Tornadoes FC
The second game of the day has Brothers United taking on Tornadoes FC. Brothers United have had a roller coaster season so far and currently occupy a mid-table position but they do have the talent and resources at their disposal to make a late charge for a top three spot. For for that to happen, a win here is an absolute must.
Tornadoes suffered a major setback in their fight for a top three spot when Simba in GW 6 beat them convincingly. Tornadoes like to attack and get the goals out there while Brothers are a more pragmatic team who change strategy based on opponents, which makes this match up extremely interesting.
Crystal Ball: Brothers United (1) – (2) Tornadoes FC
10:00 AM – Can-a-bees FC v United 4th Phase FC
The third game of the day has Can-a-bees FC taking on United 4th Phase FC. Can-a-bees have been struggling to get points on the board and the goals have dried up for them, an issue they need to address quickly.
United 4th are within touching distance of a top three spot but any slip-ups from them and that could vanish instantly. They go into this game as favourites but Can-a-bees have a point to prove. We don’t expect this game to be a high-scoring one and the team with the stronger defence should come out on top.
Crystal Ball: Can-a-bees FC (0) – (1) United 4th Phase FC
11:15 AM – Simba Sports FC v Dragons AFC
The headliner of the day is up next when two in-form teams take on each other. Simba lead the table and have not dropped any points so far. They also have a three point lead at the top of the table and are favourites to win the title but they cant get complacent about it with BCFC and Kammanhattan right on their heels.
Dragons are the other team in form having won three on the trot. Although it will be tough to ask of them to make it four, they have proven doubters otherwise. We expect this game to be a high-intensity affair and although Simba look likely to win, Dragons have the talent at their disposal to cause an upset.
Crystal Ball: Simba Sports FC (2) – (1) Dragons AFC
12:30 PM – Pegasus FC v Bangalore City FC B
The penultimate game of the day has Pegasus FC taking on Bangalore City FC B. Pegasus are yet to pick up a win but seem to have made mid-season additions to change that around.
Bangalore City B lost some ground in the title race last week when they lost to Kammanhattan but they are only three points off the leaders and are yet to play them, which means the title race is still wide open. The key to this game for Pegasus will be to hold off BCFC for as long as they can and take the chances they get on the counter attack.
Crystal Ball: Pegasus FC (1) – (4) Bangalore City FC B
2:00 PM – The Aces v Kammanhattan All Stars
The final game of the day has Aces taking on Kammanhattan and both teams are in a good run of form Aces are moving up the ladder and a couple more wins could see them finish in the top 4.
Kammanhattan caused the upset of the season when they defeated BCFC B last week and will be looking to continue the fine run of form. Aces will prove to be a tough test, however. Both teams have potent attacking forces and we expect a goal fest to round off GW 7.
Crystal Ball: The Aces (2) – (3) Kammanhattan All Stars
