The Amateur League: Gameweek 3 Preview - TAL Crystal Ball

TAL

Saints FC and Horizons FC are on top as expected, but many new exciting teams have shown that they are not to be underestimated. Gameweek 3 has some interesting match-ups and can we expect any upsets this round? Catch Gameweek 3 action on April 12th at Holy Ghost Church Grounds, Bangalore.

Match 1: Saints FC FC v Yataghan Bangalore FC

The 8:30 AM kick off has Saints FC taking on Yataghan Bangalore FC. Saints FC have been in outstanding form scoring 10 goals in the past two games while conceding none. Yataghan BFC showed some good form in GW 2 as they eased past Indian Ocean but might require the services of Ashley Westwood if they are to get a result in this game.

Crystal Ball Prediction: Saints FC 2-1 Yataghan Bangalore FC


Match 2: FC Kougen Kikou v Mercurial FC

Next, at 10:00 AM we have FC Kougen Kikou taking on Mercurial FC. FC Kougen Kikou’s game is based on a lot of running, which can be attributed to the fact that Japanese are some of the fittest people on the planet. Mercurial FC haven’t been in good form and will have to bring their ‘A’ game to keep up with their opposition and get a result out of this game.

Crystal Ball Prediction: FC Kougen Kikou 2-1 Mercurial FC


Match 3: Samba FC v Mavericks FC

The final game of the morning session has Samba FC playing Mavericks FC at 11:30 AM. Samba FC faltered last week when they couldn’t keep up with the high press approach of Gremio and will be looking at a change of tactics to register their first win of the season. Mavericks FC have returned to full strength, but in a game of attack versus defence, they might find it hard to score goals.

Crystal Ball Prediction: Samba FC 1-1 Mavericks FC


Match 4: Indian Ocean v Horizons FC

The afternoon session kicks off at 1:15 PM with Indian Ocean pitted against Horizons FC. Indian Ocean is still coming together as a team, but a stern test against the defending champions will prove their mettle. After thumping RDFC 7-0 in GW 2, Horizons will be looking to continue their fine goal scoring form when they take on the newcomers.

Crystal Ball Prediction: Indian Ocean 0-4 Horizons FC


Match 5: Flipkart FC v Gremio FC

The 2:45 PM kick-off has Flipkart FC playing Gremio FC.Flipkart FC has been the surprise team of the season with a well-balanced approach to their gameplay. Gremio FC, on the other hand have made strong signings this season who have contributed well early on. A tactical battle is at hand and we should be in for an interesting match-up between two up-and-coming teams.

Crystal Ball Prediction: Flipkart FC 1-2 Gremio FC


Match 6: Rare Dare FC v Project 7

The final match of the day is Rare Dare FC versus Project 7 at 4:15PM. Rare Dare FC have shown glimpses of team play but coming together as a team has taken longer than expected. Project 7 has a lot of individual talent in their midst and need to mold it together to create an impact this season. We are in for a good match with two new teams going to head-to-head.

Crystal Ball Prediction: Rare Dare FC 2-2 Project 7
