Fall Season - Week Eight - November 2nd



8:00 PM - Haya (4-0-3) vs Ikhlas (0-4-3):


Haya
Ikhlas
Rank
1st
9th
Division Standing
1st in Mecca
3rd in Mecca
Context
With a 4-1 win over Ihsan, Haya claimed the top spot in the league. If they like the view from the top they are going to have to take care of the league’s worst team.
Salvaged a point against Taqwa, saw Ikhlas keep their faint playoff hopes alive. A lost tonight might just all about do it for this group
Last Meeting
Missing key players in their first meeting did well to fight back and tie the game 2-2
Could not take advantage of Haya missing a few key players and let a 2-0 lead slip away, settling for a tie.

Most Points in their last meeting
Salman Khalid-2
Mehmed Rizvanovic- 2
Main Question
Losing Sufyan Shaikh (see N and R) is devastating… Is Umair Awan the right replacement for this team
With the addition of Tahir Marouf there is no question that Ikhlas looked better, but yet they are still looking for their first win. Is Marouf’s second game with his new teammates enough time to help get Ikhlas their first victory?

Division Standing
2nd in Medina
1st in Medina
Context
Ihsan has been inconsistent all season. They have had some big wins (7-3 vs Sabr) and some lopsided defeats (7-2 vs Yaqeen & 4-1 vs Haya)
Yaqeen still remains in the hunt to finish first or second overall. 
Last Meeting
One of those games where you have to forget and move on
A 7-2 thrashing that took no one saw coming

10 (lowest in the league)
Most Points in their last meeting
Faraz Alvi & Ajmal Esmatyar-2
Saleem Malik- 4
Main Question
Farooq Sani and Saleem Malik scored 6 of the 7 goals last time… Can Ihsan make the necessary adjustments here?
Can Yaqeen come into this game and not take their opponents lightly?
Hamidi Prediction

Yaqeen Win


10:00 PM- Shukr (2-3-1) vs Ridha (1-4-1):


Shukr
Ridha
Rank
6th
8th
Division Standing
2nd in Jerusalem
3rd in Jerusalem
Context
Shukr’s inability to score goals reared its ugly head again last week with a 2-1 defeat versus Yaqeen
Although they got a point in a wild back and forth affair with Emaan (4-4), it kind of feels like a let down after managing to beat Sabr 2-1 the prior week.  
Last Meeting
Scoring two goals on the power play helped powered them to a 4-2 win
Accumualted 16 PIM in their first meeting with Shukr
Goals For
9 (lowest in the league)

Goals Against

Most Points in their last meeting
Sufyan Kazi-3
Yahya Ingar, Abdur-Rahim Manjra, Yusuf Ingar & Haris Hyder- 1
Main Question
The most goals Shukr has scored in a game was 4 and this was against Ridha. Is this the game Shukr ails their anemic offense?
A win here will vault you up into a playoff spot… how bad you want it?  
Hamidi Prediction

Ridha Win


11:00 PM- Sabr (2-3-2) vs Taqwa (4-0-2):


Sabr
Taqwa

2nd in Mecca

Context
October was a horrible month for Sabr as they went winless
With a game in hand on Haya and with Yaqeen right on their heels, Taqwa looks to ascend back to the top of the standings.
Main Question
Can Sabr come out of their slump?
After letting a point slip away against Ikhlas, can Taqwa recover and get back to their winning way?
