Ikhlas vs Haya
Ikhlas continues to swim the murky waters of defeat for another week. Their recent loss comes from the hands of Emaan where the orange shirts beat them silly in a 5-1 drubbing. Ikhlas's struggles have been global. Offence is dismal, defence has got more holes than swiss cheese and goaltending has just struggled. GM Salman Khalid and his squad must step it up this week if they want to verified as serious contenders. Can Ikhlas conquer Haya? Or will Ikhlas add another loss to their already damaged record?
After a two week bye, Haya finally tested the waters in the league and allowed a two goal lead to slip away. Regardless, the grey shirts left the arena with a point in hand and now venture to put Ikhlas through more misery. Haya, a team filled with weathered players didn't fair that bad for their first game and can't face any criticism yet. GM Naeem Akhtar and company won't get a free ride but need to expose green's suspicious defence. Can Haya win their first game this week?
Emaan vs Sabr
Emaan's regular season expedition has been up and down with many guessing their credibility. GM Furqan Salam's posse rebounded from an Ihsan loss some time back and recently won an explosive five goal beatdown over Ikhlas. This week's opposition is Sabr and keeping age in mind, it's probably fitting to dub this match as, "Battle of the Ages". A win for Emaan notches them in first place alongside Yaqeen. Can Emaan outwit the seasoned roster of Sabr?
Sabr's position on the standings has many bewildered. The yellow shirts started off with and 0-2 record and possibly had many round table discussions relating to their the squad's direction. However, if their previous "never say never" mentality remains consistent then maybe last week's tie game is a building block for a big win this Friday. With the odds heavily favouring against them, GM Naiem Malik has a lot of homework in solving the Emaan camp. Can Sabr match Emaan's hustle? Can Akib Malik lead the team to win #1?
Ihsan vs Shukr
Ihsan puts their unbeaten streak on the line as they face off against Shukr. The Soliman's and associates have been steam rolling the opposition and riding some high waves. Hany Soliman continues to dominate the white shirt's team stats while netminder Zaid Majoo proves that size is everything. The backend here plays a tight game but secondary scoring on this team is absent. How long can Hany Soliman go? Can Ihsan put the pedal on the metal and drive their winning streak to three?
Shukr has been swaying weekly and recently suffered a nasty loss to Yaqeen. GM Haris Mallick's clan played an outstanding first period but found themselves swimming against the currents of the second period. After a 3-0 loss, Shukr needs a big win this week and anticipate Arssal Shahabuddin and Idrees Deen to get the job done. Goaltender Kaunain Sayied has given his team breathing room each week and also needs a big win to get the team going. Can GM Haris Mallick and his defensive corps halt Hany and company?
