beta united vs July Fourth
beta united 99.0 - July Fourth 108.8
July Fourth have made it to the final of the Champions League for the 5th season in a row and are bidding to win their 5th straight Champions League Title and 9th Title overall. They are strong favourites against unfancied beta united who were rated at 50/1 outsiders for the title when the knockout stage draw was revealed and worked hard and improved their team to deserve a place in the final where they face a tough test this afternoon for Champions League title.
Both teams have no injury cornerns and also no players are suspended either and both managers have the option of selecting a full strength side or play optimum tactics. beta united look to have already made their minds up on how to approach the final and thats by parking the bus and trying to keep the game tight, while July Fourth will want to start the game well and get infront as early as possible to try and win the final as early as possible. With 2 draws already from July Fourth this season, beta united will know there is a chance of getting a result in the game and July Fourth know that beta united are more than beatable since they have lost 3 games in this seasons Champions League and also have lost 7 games in the League, while July Fourth are unbeaten in both the League and the Champions League this season.
beta united's manager is active and I rate his chances of watching the game at 50-50, since last season the GALATASARAY manager threw in the towel before the final and didn't watch the game despite being active beforehand. I hope for the respect purposes of the final that our opponent watches the game even though he is unlikely that he will win the match, but at least it shows us good character and will earn respect from us.
beta united's squad is mainly a 5* team, except from their bench which is a bit weak, their GK, Philip Knight is 4* with 1v1 stopper SA, 5* ST Marcelo Fernandez drops to the bench to make way for the defensive tactics they are likely to play against us. Przemyslaw Romian is their weakpoint in defence being only 3*. The do have a scout in their team and thats playmaker Javier Abuabara who does have 19 assists this season, Mark Parkes their other 5* striker has 21 goals this season and is a specialist free-kick taker, Azamat Kiselev could pay a major part in the final with being a 5* Defensive Wall. So they do have players with some abilities in their team so it is something for us to watch out for.
July Fourth boast, 9* Hatsune Miku who has been in much better form this season after a nervy first season at our club, Michu at 8* has improved well with plenty of MOTM's this season and can provide us many opportunites from our corners, Papaleo now approaching high-end 7* is in great form with 35 goals this season including a hatrick against bordomavi in the second leg, Our defenders lead by Aaron Ramirez have been in great form this season, keeping our team unbeaten all season so far and a few more great perfomances should see us finish unbeaten.
Team History, beta united are playing their 2nd Champions League Final having won in their only other appearance in the final.
