Previous Meetings: League - 11th May: JONCLAB 0-6 July Fourth, 24th May: July Fourth 5-0 JONCLAB.
A rather interesting encounter has developed here. We are actually playing a team in the same league as us this season and the opponent manager has taken the Champions League far more seriously than the league, he has been watching the CL games but not really watched that many league games. JONCLAB have surprised many getting to the semi-finals of the Champions League by beating 2 teams a few quality points above themselves but they have ran into the team that won the league that they played in by a country mile so they have their work cut out if they want to win the Champions League this season, they have beat the current favourites July Fourth over 2 legs. They have applied some missing skill points to 4 of their players (I don't think they were PTed) because they have risen from 5* to 6* all of a sudden. But July Fourth are also stronger since they last played JONCLAB because they have those 4 8* players and they will be starting the game with their strongest XI in an attempt to win the 1st leg convincingly and get through to the final pretty much tonight. July Fourth are expected to beat JONCLAB comfortably over the 2 legs since they done so in the league.
