Cup preview - Perfect Tactics (1) vs (2) Svalbard Rovers

Perfect Tactics play the return leg in a very late match in which we will attempt to overturn a one goal deficit. Svalbard Rovers were deadly in the first half in the first leg and our players were no match for them. We went 2 goals down in the first half and changes had to be made if we were going to get anything out of the game. A quick reversal of fortune gave us a goal back and one of their best players sent off, however they held on for the win. Looking at the qualities closer, we should have at least drawn but things were not going our way and we couldn't get the equaliser. Perfect Tactics have a history of coming back in the 2nd leg. But could we do it here?

There is a lot to play for here and we need to be at our best if we are going to qualify here. We know what is needed and defeat is not an option, we must win to nil or at least by 2 goals to guarantee us safety. Svalbard Rovers have a couple of an 8* goalkeeper, 7* players and 6* players but have a few 4* and 3* players which they haven't bothered to replace despite that they are active. Luck has to be on our side but we also need Chano Petersen to bang in a few goals, he has 23 goals so far this season and is hungry for more. We will have max win bonus (as usual), morale and condition. Nevertheless this will be a very tough game for us and we are staring at the barrel of getting knocked out early in the cup.

Match odds:
