Preview Week 5
Friday, March 13, 2009
Sorry for the late update for Week 5. Here's a short preview of the match and the prediction has been made by Arema FC's former manager, Abdul Rahman Mohd Norahim
Can we say this is a sure win for Onitsuka Tiger? Onitsuka Tiger only needed a win to secure their spot in the quarter finals. As for Ozawa Dragons, let's hope that not another goal fest would not go against them again.
Prediction: Onitsuka Tiger will secure their spot in the quarter finals with the score of 3-0.
Match 26: Urawa Reds vs Facebook FC
It's Do-or-Die for both teams. Urawa Reds need to win this match to shut down Facebook FC challenge. As for Facebook FC, they also need to win to shut down Urawa Reds and Borneo FC chances to win. Anything may go either side in this tight match-up, considering the solid performance of both teams so far.
Prediction: Too hard to predict this. Urawa FC 1-1 Facebook Fc.
Match 27: Ace vs Who
WHO needed a win to open their chances to qualify for the next round. Ace, shocked from a 4-0 rejuvenated comeback by Azzuri, needed a win to stay in contention for the spot in quarter finals. Judging from the gameplay of both teams, it looks like the advantage might favor WHO
Prediction: WHO would win this match with the score of 2-1.
Match 28: Nagasakti vs Apocalypto
Both teams are still in contention for the quarter-final spot. Nagasakti must win in order to qualify. Not forgetting Apocalypto who also needed a win to ensure their march continues after losing to Croconile (2-0)
Prediction: A tight match,but still Apocalypto to win 2-1.
Match 29: Gen 06 vs Jupan FC
Gen 06 looking for a win after they managed to make a lockdown draw on Avatar. However they should not underestimate Jupan FC eventhough Jupan FC lost their previous two matches to Avatar (0-4) and Aurora FC (1-3).
Prediction: Gen 06 will continue their demolition with the score of 4-1
Match 30: Azzuri vs Rajawali
Both teams will have their last match in group A.
Prediction: Azzuri would grab all three points with the score of 2-1.

Preview Week 4
Friday, March 6, 2009
For this week's preview, I have invited the manager of Urawa Reds, Ahmad Loqman to give his views and insights about the upcoming matches.
Match 19: Facebook FC vs Onitsuka Tiger
The meeting of two top teams from group D. Last match seems to bolster Onitsuka route in qualifying to the latter stage. This time Facebook FC are waiting to be tested. With both teams haven’t lost their matches, the race to be grabbing the group leading chart. For Facebook FC, this game is the chance for them to get through the quarter final after 2 seasons drought.
Prediction: The Facebook FC will make it 2-1.
Match 20: Nagasakti vs Croconile
Newcomers for this season, Nagasakti will try to be at their best after losing their first match. Although the second match will never be easier, against the crocodiles of
Prediction: It is too good to lose. Nagasakti 0-3 Croconile.
Match 21: Aurora vs Gen 06
After a convincing win in their 2nd game, Aurora seems to be ready to face Gen-06. A win will ensure them a step nearer to the quarter final. All of it will ensure be relied on Shaiful Izzuan, their top scorer so far. For Gen-06, another potential team might feel unlucky not to win against Avatar in their 1st match. Hopefully this time will encourage them to sharpen their finishing in searching for goals as well as to win.
Prediction: Gen-06 will grab those points 2-1.
Match 22: Galacticos vs Ace
The only team with clean wins, Galacticos, with surely make this meeting as important as the previous 2 in order to grab the top spot. After a shocking win against Azzuri and another one with Rajawali, will be a pretty motivation for to grab another win. However, the race in this group is still open. Ace can make level if they win the game and surely will use the advantage of their frontline in Asyraf Ja’afar. Their only threat is their defense.
Prediction: A tight match,but still Galacticos to win 3-1.
Match 23: Borneo FC vs Ozawa Dragons
Borneo FC vs Ozawa Dragon is a meeting for two newcomers in the season and both teams have yet to score a goal. Two league matches will be good experience as the Borneos are preparing to find their chemistry in game. Differ with Borneo FC, a big loss to Facebook FC will not let Ozawa down.
Prediction: This match will be a possible stage for them to prove something. No draw for this week and a win to Borneo FC 1-0.
Match 24: Rasta vs Avatar
Rasta will look to have a little bit nervous when meeting this season favorite team, Avatar. A draw performance in their previous game is still not convincing enough to get them to the next stage. This team must need something different to beat Avatar. For Avatar, they will surely need to win after almost beaten by Gen-06.
Prediction: All points to Avatar 3-1.

Scorers Recap
Thursday, March 5, 2009
After 18 matches, 2009 season of UTP Soccer League has accumulated about 47 goals which the rate of 2.61 goals per match.
However, the total goals can be considered as low, if compared to 2007 season, where 80 goals where scored in the same time range. I forgot about the 2008 season goal rate since I misplaced the files.
It's a good sign that teams' defensive line have been formidable which most of the results this season are quite close between two teams.
So, here's the topscorer list until Week 3.
Anyway, next up is the preview of Week 4. So, stay tuned
