Game previews

Week 23

A possible playoff preview is underway this week as Calaveras FC closes out their season against Bayern Munich. Meanwhile, The Gunners take on Real Deal on the adjacent pitch.

With Bayern Munich and Real Deal having first and second place respectively clinched (unless Real Deal can pull off a 30 goal win over The Gunners), it’s up to Calaveras FC and The Gunners to decide the playoff matches.

A Gunners win over Real Deal, or a Calaveras FC loss or tie, will give them third place and a showdown against Real Deal in the semi-finals. Calaveras FC will need to defeat Bayern Munich and have Real Deal tie or beat The Gunners to clinch third seed.

Playoff Scenarios

The playoffs will consist of a 2 leg semi-final followed by a 1 leg final.  With 2 games left in the regular season, the playoff picture is becoming more clear.

The race for first place is on, but what we know for sure is that Bayern Munich and Real Deal cannot face each other in the semi-finals.  These 2 teams can only finish in first or second place and they will play either Gunners or Calaveras.

The Battle for First

Bayern Munich and Real Deal are currently tied on points.  The first tie-breaker is goal difference and thanks to Ronalduy, BM easily have this.  It means that their destiny is in their own hands and if they win both matches they’ll secure first place.

Third Place Honours

The Gunners currently sit 4 points ahead of Calaveras in the battle for third place.  Calaveras has made it clear that they want to get out of the basement, where they’ve been all season.  The team has really turned it around and many consider them to be the team to beat in the playoffs.

This week Bayern Munich face the Gunners while Real Deal take on Calaveras.

 

Week 21 Preview

After losing one of their biggest offensive threats, somebody will need to step into the shoes that Nasim Zoubeiri has left empty as Real Deal battles for first against Bayern Munich.

Week 14 Preview
