.11th Week Match Preview.

Boogis VS Bukit Tinggi

Boogis has all but secured the second place of the RFL for the second season in a row. Disciplined and consistent as they may be, they still lack that cutting edge and ability to stop opponents from scoring against them, and finding a clean sheet. Nevertheless, their time will come and they look like a solid team for years to come. Aman and Dalvin are the two mammoths and spine of the team, with the pace of Riz and creativity of Iqbal always breaking the opponents' heart. This match is no more than an exhibition match for them, but knowing Bukit Tinggi, perhaps they should be careful for a surprise.

This has been a memorable first season for RFL latest team, Bukit Tinggi. No one saw them winning the very first game against Gastroboi, but they did and fully deserved it. These bunch of mates just wants themselves to have fun and make the RFL as a place for relaxation. Yan and Rafiq has done their jobs well to get the goals for Bukit Tinggi, the mean and lean Anol has been enjoying his final months before graduation, plus they have support from the pedestrian Bond, Aiman and Hilman. Bald and diminutive as he may be, goalkeeper Murad always gets his body on the line and protecting the team goal. This last match agains Boogis might be a bit difficult for them.

Players to watch

Dalvin (Boogis)-big man for big occasions
Azri (Boogis)-beginning to get his form
Aiman (Bukit Tinggi)-rarely seen playing due to rotation
Rafiq (Bukit Tinggi)-his physique belies his goalscoring tally for the team

De' Knights VS Spartans

It has been a success story for De'Knights this season as they have beaten most of the odds against them. The quick reflexes and agility of goalkeeper Lavin, the marauding attacks and rockets of a shot from Damo, Shan's ability for doing the unthinkable and making a headache for opponents, plus the high team spirit all accounts for the mid table success that they are enjoying now. Some of them has been training with the Uni team too. In this match, they will try to gain on their momentum after some long break as their 6th place in the RFL table are secure. But Damo can't do the job all alone though and his defenses has be alert at all times.

Spartans has been steadily climbing the RFL table and now sits pretty in 7th place. But should they fall, Le'Samba and Saints would be more than happy to reap the profits. Spartans are playing the brand of physical and no nonsense football, where only the result counts. Sort of sound like an old school English football team. At the back, lanky goalkeeper Faizal has been solid all season, but not too spectacular. Rama has benefited from playing more up front and has presented the team with priceless goals. With the strong midfield of Ganesh Kumar, Ong Wee Kee and Kumarendran, De' Knights should be in for a surprise in this mid table clash.

Players to watch

Sam (De'Knights)-fiery and always gives his all
Kanthaan (De'Knights)-controlling the midfield and spraying passes
Ong Wee Kee (Spartans)-he runs all day long
Thamil (Spartans)-can come from nowhere and steals the ball away

Akula VS Saints FC

With so many players in the team, its hard to find the correct mixture and competitiveness for one of RFL's new team this season, Akula. Akula, meaning "shark" in russian, although has a mean sounding team name, almost always find themselves at the other end of things. But with a squad full of seasoned players, they can be sure to always a bit of inspiration. Newcomers Busu and Nazmi are still raw, Dol is unpredictable, and Azzam together with Nasri just go around doing their business, defending the team. Will Palong bring the half-fit fans favorite Maro again for this clash?

Saints has been more solid and more adventurous this season. Captain Toh even got his first ever goal, with a cracker of freekick against Gastroboi. Agni will again as usual be doing his bit in getting that odd goal, while Prem will just run and run harassing the other team. The big Gajaen likes to play more up front, supplying the passes to fellow attackers. Kuhen and PK will do their damage more as ever from the subs bench. In this match, Saints will go all out for 3 points, for sure, as they, like Le'Samba and Spartans, are chasing the bragging points for getting the 7th place in the final RFL game of this season.

Players to watch

Azwani (Akula)-the quiet man always does his business quietly
Seth (Akula)-more likely to dribble all the way up front
Siva (Saints)-taking his time off from RMSA every week to play football
Gajaen (Saints)-has probably forgot how to be a goalkeeper

sbobet.com predictions Akula 2-1 Saints




Gastroboi VS Chittapa

The team in pink has played well without the addition of their former star goalkeeper Minjie. New goalie Jivan has done a respectable job of trying to fill in the gloves of the legendary Minjie and keeping up the expectations. Gastroboi has fallen a bit in the RFL table compared to last season but they have been playing more offensively and scored more goals than their past seasons. The addition of ex-Copa player Nabil added more style and finesse but their defenses has been creaking a bit, with captain Qye now opting to play up front.

The super-fit and committed Chittapa team will be going all out against Gastroboi to get that 3rd place in the RFL, which would of course bring a big smile for Arulkanesh and his team in yellow. Or sometimes blue. With the strike force of Arulbotak, Brahma, Thanes, Sathiya and the defense superbly marshaled by the evergreen Arulkanesh, Chittapa is expected to strut their stuff against an unpredictable Gastroboi side. Sathiya and Brahma will be looking to relish on the team in pink whose defense is not actually the best in the league.

Players to watch

Mok (Gastroboi)-Gastro veteran Mok is now playing at defense
Dinie (Gastroboi)-can sometimes do the odd job as goalkeeper. who knows
Ganesan (Chittapa)-not afraid to shoot from distance. prone to silly mistakes
Brahma (Chittapa)-sometimes not playing up to his best standards

Le'Samba VS Dru N' Cos

Le'Samba plays with a swagger like a Brazilian team. But will or will not Minjie, the dependable goalkeeper, play again this week? Harinthiran played bravely against a rampant Boogis side last time around, but surely his services are more suited up front. The pacy VK and the tricks of Kayrezza will be counted upon this time against Dru N Cos, the team with the best defense and offense of the league. Abilash would most probably pull out some of his rare magic and try to score that odd goal. The defenses are quite solid there, with Magesh and Lingesh calling the stops.

With no other team able to catch them now, Dru N Cos is the RFL Champions of the 3rd season. The brainchild of captain Thiva and his mates, Dru N Cos went out from the very first game to show fans, the meaning of true football. Stylish, no nonsense, fierce, and no mercy to any team whatsoever. They scored the most goals and let in the most few. Consistency has been the key for their game. Captain Thiva rather interestingly has been a champion of RFL 3 times in a row, but with different teams, Chittapa, G15, and now, Dru N Cos. Fearless striker Avinesh has been the star player, as does dependable Yumnesh, Balin and the others.

Players to watch

Magesh (Le'Samba)-gives his heart out every week
Harinthiran (Le'Samba)-twists, turns, and scores
Yumnesh (Dru N Cos)-dribbles as fast as he talks
Avinesh (Dru N Cos)-looking to solidify his position as RFL top scorer

Geng Malaysia VS Copa Cobana

The clash most people will be waiting for. The hunt for the 3rd spot in the RFL table. Geng Malaysia is a team on a mission, and with goalkeeper Pokwe looking more confident week in and week out, Afiq firing the shots, Awe cleaning the mess up at the back, they have truly find their own brand of football. The MIC Cup Champions are up against underachievers and an understrength Copa Cobana team. Che Pooh , Hilmi and the pedestrian Akmal has proved to be more than able than just warming up the substitute's bench.

Copa Cobana has come a long way. But yet, they have found that elusive RFL crown very hard to get. Team members has come and go, but the spine of the team is still there, and they will to their utmost to get the result they want from a team on form, Geng Malaysia. 3rd spot is the best they could get, but statistically, Chittapa would also have to somehow lose against Gastroboi. Shafiq will be calling the shots as usual and Butterfingers Boo will hope that the size of his body will scare the opponents off. Shazli as usual will pluck the strings in midfield with Alif, substitute Hadiey itching to make an impact and the adventurous defender Faiz always looming to dribble his way and help the attack.

Players to watch

Che Pooh (Geng Malaysia)-majorly instrumental for the yellows this season
Pok We (Geng Malaysia)-his voice can be heard from out of the sportzal
Shafiq (Copa Cobana)-a rifle of a shot
Boo Affiz (Copa Cobana)-needs to direct his defenses more often
