Thai Team 94.4 vs July Fourth 104.0 Tonight
July Fourth 104.0 vs Thai Team 94.4 Tuesday

July Fourth face a Thai Team, Name written in thai text, so we always refer teams like these as Thai Team. This a Last 16 tie, that in all honesty we need to take quite seriously, they came through runners up in Kadir's group who are the 2nd strongest side in the competition and also drew against then in Round 6, He looks like a 'Semi Active' manager, a manager that logs in every so often to set his team up for games but does not watch the games, our recent form in the league this season in all honesty has been poor despite being league leaders, but at least out CL form is much better, Thai Team are also league leaders although only by 1 point with a record of 10-1-2 this season, There starting XI consists of 11 5* players is what you need at this level but do not have a great bench, They also have quite a number of players with SA, including Playmaker, Free-Kick, Corner Taker and Shadow Striker, Their prefered formation is the 4-5-1 V, which is a deadly formation when played correctly and he has the correct players, They have recently signed Eden Hazard who scored twice on his debut, Charles Ologun is their ST hoping to fire his gun right witrh 13 goals this season, Mario Alava is dangerous on the Left Wing and obviously their Corner Taker Mohd Halim is effective with 10 assists. July Fourth are missing both their specialist free kick takers for this game, Vasko and Mensah through injury so Papaleo will undertake free-kick duties again and both Vasko and Mensah should be available for the second leg, other than that July Fourth can name a strong side that should be able to win the tie.
