.4th Week Match Preview.

Dru N Cos VS Gastroboi

Fresh from their 3 straight wins, the boys in white are now brimming with confidence. Who needs Real Madrid when you have DNC? Their game last time around against Chittapa was a hard fought one, with fouls everywhere, giving Ref Dalvin a tough time at the office. Goalie Rajdave looked to have succumbed to a bit of a knock, while Avinesh is on a hot streak of goals.

Gastroboi fought tooth and nails with Boogis,but surrendered their hard worked solitary Qye goal and ended the night as 4-1 losers. Gastro looked out of sorts in the second half and their lapse of concentration was telling. Keeper Jivan yet to keep a clean sheet, and mini striker Zufar is currently firing blanks. Tough guy Nfizree will be the one anchoring the midfield.

Players to watch

Balin(DNC)-a newcomer to the RFL arena,will be looking to score his first goal.
Thiva(DNC)-captain fantastic with some eye catching tricks
Mok(Gastro)-has been strong as an elephant since his repositioning as a defender
Dinie(Gastro)-with 2 goals in the bag,this is no mean feat for a former goalie

Geng Malaysia VS Spartans

GM finally got their first win of the season,and lets see how they fare from now on. Goalpoacher supreme Afiq has been scoring goals in every game,and the runs of Awe has been a nuisance to other teams. Fakhrul might be the goalie again this week,and instead of flying helplessly in midfield,he would be flying in front of his goal instead.

Spartans meanwhile,tasted their first defeat of the season, against the might of Samba's Min Jie,aka The Wall. Time and time again their shots were denied by the elegant keeper. Their pair of youngsters in Rama and Ganesh P always looking dangerous on the break. The draw masters needs to start winning though.

Players to watch

Hilmi(GM)-interesting player with interesting touches,with interesting time on the subs bench also
Che Pooh (GM)-his belly belies his allround ability.Frank Lampard anyone?
Ong Wee Kee (Spartans)-has a habit of scoring against big teams
Satish (Spartans)-the captain with loads of experience being with Tutto Bene

Le'Samba VS De'Knights

Samba owed much of their win last time around for their sheer grit and determination. Vickz scored his first goal of the campaign,spinning and celebrating in ecstasy. Harinthiran and Kay Rezz looking to be spearheading their offensive this time around. Notice that they have a fondness for the letter "Z" on their jersey too.

De' Knights were on the back of a Copa onslaught last time around. Every pass didnt go their way, and Copa appeared to score goals at will. Perhaps Arasan will regroup the boys and study back their defensive tactics, with the always able Damo the center of attention.

Players to watch

Magz (Samba)-you dont need to park a bus in front of a goal,just let him do the job
Kay Rezz (Samba)-the poor man's Peter Crouch
Lavin (DK)-exciting player.perhaps need more time on the court
Thiru (DK)-first season in RFL for him, a learning process.

Bukit Tinggi VS Chittapa FC


With 2 losses already,BT looked bleak as they are at the wrong end of the table. Nevertheless,football is never predictable. It will be interesting to see who would be the ones not playing in this game,with super defender Mate definitely playing since he missed their last game. Their defense looked ok,though perhaps they need more firepower up front.

Glory hunters Chittapa is definitely looking at 3 points after losing just narrowly to a cool and composed DNC last week. With only 3 points after 3 games to show,they are desperate to get back on their winning ways. Their offensive looked great,though their defense right now looked a bit dodgy.

Players to watch

Rafiq (BT)-with his new skinhead haircut,nothing can stop him now
Anol (BT)-almost the same as Rafiq,albeit with more hair
Sathya (Chittapa)-looked fantastic in goal for the yellow guys last week
Brahma (Chittapa)-top scorer for Chittapa currently

goal.com predictions BT 0-3 Chittapa




Copa Cobana VS Saints FC

Seems that Copa is finally getting back to its groove. After a good 6-0 drubbing to Knights, confidence is high and the blue guys are taking goals to their stride. Not expecting much changes in personnel this time around. With Shafiq back to his devastating form in attack,Copa is getting back its positive football.

Saints took a bitter pill last week when they lost narrowly to a marauding GM side desperate for a win. Captain Toh threw every shot away from him,still wanting to keep his 100% clean sheet intact. The new players took time to adapt,but once they do,expect this team to slowly but surely climb the RFL table.

Players to watch

Aliff (Copa)-a workhorse,always at his devastating best in full speed
Nasaei (Copa)-little magician with nice touches and near precise passes
Gajaen (Saints)-big man with big attitude and teamwork
PK (Saints)-newbie,a sub with dependable fresh legs,not afraid to take any opponent on

Boogis VS Akula

The scoreline 4-1 against Gastroboi was typical of Boogis. After some slack defending by Dalvin which gifted Gastro their goal,Boogis were calm and composed,making sure their tactics were going according to plan,and hit Gastro on the counter attacks. Classic Boogis. Perhaps Aman and Dalvin should play in pairs again after the scare given by Gastro last time around.

With the return of Azzam, and the new signing of Zulalip,this was altogether a new Akula. Bukit Tinggi was no easy opponent,and although they lead BT by 2-0 early in the game,the BT fought back but finally Azzam scored again to give Akula a deserved 3 points. Palong and Busu returning to action after missing the last game due to squad rotation.

Players to watch

Riz (Boogis)-this little man has rockets in his feet,super effective in counter attacks
Anand (Boogis)-the stand out performer while with Alpha last year,new signing
Nazmi (Akula)-the goalkeeper who prefers to kick rather than throwing
Azwani (Akula)-coach for RSMU female futsal with the uncanny know how of blocking passes
