Matches to
look out for in the group stages of the 2012 UFL Cup
Global
vs. Pasargad
Last season, Global got off the wrong
foot to start league play with a 2-1 loss to Army. They rebounded with a 2-0
over Pasargad in their next fixture.
When Pasargad reloaded big time in the
March transfer window, they piped Loyola 4-3 in a win that spurred them on to
finish the league. But in Pasargad’s very next game, they were crushed by
Global, 4-0.
If Pasargad, former UFL champions,
wants to regain their former glory, they’ll have to defeat the current toast of
Philippine club football.
Stallion
vs. Air Force.
Last season, Stallion swept the season
series with Air Force with results of 4-1 and 2-1. Stallion has its roots in
Barotac Nuevo, Iloilo where many of the current Air Force players hail from. Stallion
will not catch anyone by surprise this season. On the other hand, Air Force is
raring to get back at every club.
Loyola
vs. Mendiola
More than a year ago, the Younghusband
brothers along with current Loyola teammates Roxy Dorlas and PJ Fadrigalan played
for the Rizal team in the Smart Club Championship where they lost to Global.
The Rizal team in essence was Mendiola that was suspended from the UFL that
year. You think Mendiola will go easy on their former teammates?
Diliman
vs. Dolphins United
Dolphins played great in the UFL’s
Division Two last season while they got numerous scoring chances against
Diliman, they simply could not finish. With Diliman weakened by the departure
of almost their entire starting eleven, payback’s on the horizon for Dolphins
United.
