D1 West – Round 2 Playoff Predictions
D1 West Playoff Predictions – Round 2
A little less surprising West first round than usual, with only one upset occurring. There was only one series decided by a goal, with Famous mounting a furious comeback from 3-0 down to beat RoyalxAckerman 4-3. With guaranteed money now present in West, expect these four remaining teams to leave it all on the line. The playoff teams are as follows:
- 06 Society – Won 6-4 over Sharti CF (West)
- Tiburoneta (West) – Won 11-6 over Magic X
- Magisco – Eliminated
- Famous XI – Won 4-3 over RoyalxAckerman
- RoyalxAckerman – Eliminated
- Lucky Tekkz – Won 5-2 over Magisco
- Magic X – Eliminated
- Sharti CF (West) – Eliminated
06 Society FC (1) vs. Famous XI (4)
Two teams with conflicting feelings heading into the second round. 06 Society will feel good putting up 6 goals over 2 games, but did concede 4 goals to a weaker Sharti CF offense. Famous will feel happy getting into the second round, but will never want to deal with starting 3-0 again. If that happens again, Famous will be buried before the second game. Can 06 Society beat Famous for the 3rd time this season?
Prediction: Famous XI wins 5-4
Tiburoneta West (2) vs. Lucky Tekkz (6)
Both teams put up plenty of fireworks, scoring a ridiculous 16 goals over 4 games combined. Lucky Tekkz will be happy to corral a high powered Magisco offense, while Tiburoneta may feel concern conceding 6 to Magic X, albeit goals in garbage time with a desperate team can skew the final score. Expect plenty of goals to be scored between these two teams.
Prediction: Lucky Tekkz wins 7-6
