CL 1/4 round, 1st leg preview - Perfect Tactics vs Sly FC
We got knocked out at this stage last season and now we play Sly FC from Vietnam. Sly FC are no pushovers and have a solid team of 5*, 6* players and even a 7* player who is on corner kick duties which could cause us a lot of problems for our leaky defence. They aren't too far behind us in overall quality for the first team but we are the better team. They are currently top of the league but qualified from the CL group stages in 2nd place, only missing 1st place on goal difference. They are a tough team to beat and they are probably one that could potentially knock us out if we are not careful, however based on quality differences, we are favourites to qualify but with this game engine, shocks can happen and we are hoping to keep a clean sheet at home to prevent a repeat of last season. We are missing Van der Zande for both legs due to suspension but this means Goff keeps his place in the squad where he would have been replaced had Van der Zande been eligible to play.
Odds:
To qualify: Perfect Tactics 4/11, Sly FC 4/1
