Fall Season - Week Thirteen - January 13th

Reset the records, a new season begins today!

In the 8 pm game Shukr squares off against Haya, they faced each other twice in the regular season with Shukr victorious in both encounters.  As a result, over 90% of voters who participated in the online poll has Shukr coming away with the victory.  Things to take into consideration is that Shukr has not played a game in over a month and now they go straight into a one-game winner moves on loser heads home situation.  On the flip side Haya has not won a game since November 18th against Ihsan - that's almost two months!  On one end you have rust and the other end is lack of confidence. Which team is able to overcome their obstacles to punch their ticket into the semifinals?

In the 9 pm Emaan takes on Sabr, these teams also met twice in the regular season with Emaan coming away with a win in the first meeting and the teams tied last week in the final game of the regular season.  Despite these positive showings for Emaan, the poll has Sabr emerging with the victory.  Perhaps last week’s match-up between the two teams put a lot of doubt in Emaan as they jumped out to an early lead only to relinquish it to Sabr ultimately scratching their way to a draw. This game last week showed that maybe we should be on upset alert as most likely the result tonight won’t be as lopsided as the regular season standings of these teams.
