LEAGUE ROUND 2 - PREVIEW
July Fourth vs Batigo United
July Fourth 129.1 - Batigo United 125.6
July Fourth today face Batigo United in what continues our rivalry with us being the best 2 teams on our level on our server, Batigo United won their league last season after finishing runners-up to us in the previous season, they haven't won the Champions League since I last played them either meaning that both teams have 11 Champions League titles each. They still buy scouts of course and this season is no different as they have inforced their starting XI with 11 new scouts. Toprak and van der Hurk still play for them but they are both now bench players. Jamie White is their best striker being 129Q free-kick taker, Agin,Stephens and Nakov could be any of their corner takers, Punosevac will take penalties if they get one.
July Fourth have been working hard all weekend and early this weekend to improve our team and develop young talent to face Batigo United and for the forthcoming seasons challenges. Petersen is expected to start ahead of O'Sullivan on right midfield, Diamond plays alongside Beckett, Miku fits in behind Pietropaolo and Papaleo III.
Match Odds: July Fourth 4/7, Draw 5/2, Batigo United 9/2. The bookies are confident that July Fourth can finally get the better of their rivals on home soil, especially their recent performances against 4-4-2 classic teams have been good.
