Preview Week 3

It seems that since we've been waiting for full results from the organizer on Week 2 matches. Unfortunately, since the organizers failed to provide any official scores and details about Week 2 matches, we shall proceed with the prediction for Week 3.

Week 3 can be considered as the do-or-die match for some teams such as Azzuri and Rajawali as they will be having their THIRD match this week. One wrong move could be the end of their quest, especially for Azzuri who are desperately to defend their title.

Match 13: Jupan FC vs Aurora

Jupan FC can try to make some amendments to their team after 4-0 crushing by Avatar. Since that's their first game, maybe they are not used to the chemistry of the team.

As for Aurora, a draw against Rasta has open up their chances to qualify for the next round. However, any upset could happen in football

Prediction: A win to Aurora (2-1)

Match 14: Ozawa Dragons vs Facebook FC

Ozawa Dragons, made up at the last minute is trying to make an impact in UTP League. Not an affiliate to Onitsuka Tigers, they are facing Facebook FC, who were handed a shocking draw against Borneo FC

As for Facebook FC, the lack of attacking option could pose problems to the team as they need to bolster it before it's too late

Prediction: A win to Facebook FC (3-1)

Match 15: Onitsuka Tiger vs Borneo FC

Onitsuka Tiger are trying to overcome their disappointment against Urawa Reds as they are going to face Borneo FC. However, they will be going into the match without Muhammad Azlan Mas'od who was being red-carded last match.

For Borneo FC, a draw against Borneo FC could be a boost of confidence to them. A mixture of experienced and young players, this might be a match to watch

Prediction: A win to Onitsuka Tiger (2-1)

Match 16: Ace vs Azzuri

Azzuri are looking for a win to ensure that their quest to defend the title still alive. This is a do-or-die situation for them as they have to win their remaining matches to ensure that they still have the chance to qualify.

However, Ace which is fresh from their remarkable comeback to a 3-2 win against Azzuri are looking forward to end Azzuri's defense once and for all.

Based on the talkback on UTPLeague chatbox, most people think that Azzuri haven't reached their full potential yet. Let's wait and see whether their words are true or else.

Prediction: After looking at Azzuri's training preparation, I would doubt that Azzuri still have the potential to give Ace a run for their money. A draw for Azzuri (1-1)

Match 17: Rajawali vs Galacticos

Rajawali are also looking for a win after losing their previous two matches, to Ace (2-3) and WHO (0-3). However, it is doubt whether the morale of the players are still at the desirable level after losing those matches.

Galacticos have been bashed from all sides after their recent claims of becoming the next champion after beating Azzuri in the muddy field (2-1). However, according to their source, Galacticos have been hit with the injury of their three players. It is not known whether they will be in full strength on this match.

Prediction: Galacticos would be fired up after winning. A win to Galacticos (2-0)

Match 18: Evo vs Sona

Evo are trying to recover from a 2-0 loss against Apocalypto. It is heard that the team would be making some tactical changes after some missed golden chances while playing against Apocalypto.

As for Sona, the win against Nagasakti FC (2-1) could provide a boost to them as they are looking a chance to qualify to the knockout round for the first time in their final season of UTP League.

Prediction:Advantage to Sona since their moral is still high. A win to Sona (3-1)
