Games of the Matchday – July 22
Matches of the Day July 22
With only 4 games left in all divisions, the playoff race is heating up! From teams looking to clinch 8 seeds, to teams battling for the top spot, this week will be sure to cause chaos and drama. Who will come out on top and take a hot streak into the playoffs?
D1 East
9:30pm: NoHardFeelings vs. Prolific
A huge game for playoff implications for both NoHardFeelings and Prolific. For NoHardFeelings, there is still a chance to obtain the first season, while for Prolific this game could be a near-clincher for their playoff spot. In the event that neither team changes position, this would be the first round playoff matchup for the 2 and 7 seeds.
Prediction: NoHardFeelings wins 2-1
10:00pm: LA United vs. Virtual Talent
In what will likely be a preview of the 4v5 matchup, LA United get the home field advantage for this regular season game. Two outstanding offenses will do battle and will look to figure each other out for the upcoming playoffs. This game will go a long way in determining the home seed for their possible matchup.
Prediction: 2-2 Draw
D1 West
9:30pm: RoyalxAckerman vs. Lucky Tekkz
While RoyalxAckerman have clinched their playoff spot, they will have interest in playing all games out to win and improve their playoff seeding, especially in the case that Famous were to lose against Magisco. Lucky Tekkz will need to pick up a couple of results to clinch a playoff seed and this game could go a long way in helping them secure a top 8 spot, giving them 3 points and a huge boost of confidence with a win over a playoff team.
Prediction: Lucky Tekkz wins 3-2
10:00pm: 06 Society FC vs. Tiburoneta (West)
1 vs. 2 in the division square off in a showdown to clinch the top spot. While both teams are equal on points, 06 Society have two games in hand on Tiburoneta. However, none of that will matter if 06 Society can’t get the jobs done and secure the 3 points in each of those games. Both teams will look to keep their hot streaks going into the playoffs.
Prediction: Tiburoneta wins 3-1
D2A East
9:30pm: Deportivo Lara vs. NB Rovers
A hugely impactful game for both teams. Deportivo need 1 result in the next 4 games to stake their spot in the top 8, while NB Rovers will continue to chase the top seed and win D2A. A big pre-playoff test for both sides.
Prediction: NB Rovers wins 2-0
10:00pm: NB Rovers vs. DANZ FC
A double feature for NB Rovers here. The two best attacks and the top two seeds duke it out for a shot at the top seed. While NB Rovers have an extra game played, DANZ will still need to get results in order to get that top seed and an easier matchup in the playoffs.
Prediction: DANZ FC wins 4-2
D2B East
9:30pm: Dochas FC vs. Pro Union
In another possible playoff preview, Dochas FC takes on Pro Union. A win here takes Dochas that much closer to a playoff spot, while a Pro Union win will mathematically secure a top 3 seed. Can Pro Union’s attack deliver the goods and get them over the line?
Prediction: 1-1 Draw
10:00pm: Malditos Genios vs. Sips FC
Truly a do or die game for Sips, and they have the misfortune of playing a red-hot, top of the table Malditos Genios. With only 4 games left, Sips needs to make up 4 points on Cougars SC or Dochas to steal the final playoff spot. This game could make or break their dreams heading in to the last matchday.
Prediction: Malditos Genios wins 4-1
