The Pundits: Round 16

RM Invitational: Santos FC v Arsenal DB
Team aims: Santos are still somewhat in the title chase, while Arsenal would like a win to extend their 1-point lead over Kirkbride Strollers after dismal performances last week.
Players: Full squads available for both Sean and Dom. As always, Sandström at the back and Fajersson at the front will be Santos' main players. Arsenal might suffer at the back without Almunia in goal but Arsenal's attacking line-up should be much better now with the recent acquisition of Fahlström, who will enjoy testing his international teammate. Fàbregas will be a constant threat going forward while his fellow midfielder Walt Sidwell will provide experience and a cool head.
Team form: Santos: LDWWW Arsenal: LWWLD
Previous meetings: 1 win for Santos, 2 draws, 4 wins for Arsenal
Previous meetings at this ground: Santos WIN 2-0, Arsenal WIN 0-2, DRAW 1-1

RDCM: 1-1
Cath: 2-1
Dom: 1-2
Iz: 0-2
RMB: 1-1

Santos FC: 1
Draw: 2
Arsenal DB: 2

Division 1: West Brom Strollers v AJ Rovers
Team aims: Both teams want the points badly for the same reasons. West Brom are above AJ Rovers, who are in the relegation zone, only on goal difference.
Players: Another pair of teams with full line-ups available, both sides boast strong defences while they are slightly lacking at the other end of the field. West Brom also boast of Robson in midfield, who is miles ahead of AJ Rovers' Bosse Kindgren.
Team form: West Brom: WWWDL AJ Rovers: DDWLL

Division 2: FC Bayern Munchen v ALLORNOTHING
Team aims: Bayern would like to reclaim top spot from Legends, while ALLORNOTHING are above the drop zone and wortley afc by just 2 points.
Players: Star defender Marvin is still unavailable for Bayern, but goalkeeper Syväluoma should be enough to keep out his side's confused opposition in this coming match. ALLORNOTHING have reportedly got a new manager, though he still has not shown up at the club yet. The players will probably be in disarray as they have been recently unless Torgester shows up soon.
Team form: Bayern: LDDWD ALLORNOTHING: LLWLD
Previous meetings: 2 wins for Bayern, 1 draw, 2 wins for ALLORNOTHING
Previous meetings at this ground: DRAW 2-2, ALLORNOTHING WIN 1-2

Dom: 4-0
Iz: 5-0
RMB: 4-0

FC Bayern Munchen: 5
Draw: 0
ALLORNOTHING: 0

Division 3: PSV Eindhoven v Steaua Needarest
Team aims: PSV are in third with Steaua close behind in fourth, so both will want the points for promotion reasons, PSV to cement their position and Steaua to actually get into the top three.
Players: A full squad available for PSV, though young Simons in midfield might not perform to his best if he plays tonight. Tollefson is still a standout player for PSV until their young guns mature. Forward Farrington is suspended for Steaua, but besides that, a full squad for Albaroo as well, and a rather more balanced and older squad than PSV, with Eskengren in defence, Gualtieri and Eaves in midfield, and Daly up front.
Team form: PSV: WLWDL Steaua: WWWLL
Previous meetings: 0 wins for PSV, 2 draws, 1 win for Steaua
Previous meetings at this ground: DRAW 0-0

Predictions:
RDCM: 1-1
Cath: 2-1
Dom: 1-1
Iz: 4-2
RMB: 2-1

PSV Eindhoven: 3
Draw: 2
Steaua Needarest: 0
