Ridha did well to tie their game against Sabr last Friday, however they need to start collecting some wins at this point in the season  
The trade that brought over Arif Khan and Aliudin Mohamed from Taqwa helped propel Emaan to their first win of the campaign

Notes
After starting the season off with a victory, Sabr has been on a downward decline. This includes 2 ties the past two games including last week giving up a last minute goal. 
Made a trade with Ikhlas and hoping to hit the reset button on the season (see N and R). Perhaps facing off against a team that has not won in the past two weeks might work in their favour.

Haya benefited from Emaan’s goaltender mishaps. Tonight they face one of the better goaltenders in the league 
If Week 1 is any indication it looks like Taqwa will grind out games 1-0 or 2-1.

Ridha was expected to lose last week against Yaqeen. They did well to get the tie. Can they build from this?  
Ihsan will look to have a better start this week than they did in Week 1 where they fell behind by two goals in the first period.
