BPFL: Preview – Fleetfooters vs Milan Club
For the second consecutive season, we will be witnessing Fleetfooters and Milan Club in the final of Borivali Premier Football League (BPFL). Milan Club will be looking for a redemption as they lost out in the penalties last year.
With the best attackers in their side, Milan Club looks lethal and destructive than Fleetfooters but the latter’s experience is second to none. Tushar Poojary, Dane Pereira, Umesh Perambra, Grenville, these are just a few names from Fleetfooters side.
But on the other end, Milan Club themselves has a strong side. Star player Sunny Thakur, Nachiket Palav, Ankit Dalvi, and Amey Bhatkal are game-changers and would play a crucial role tomorrow when they meet Fleetfooters. It was Sunny Thakur who had leveled the score in the last year’s final.
Tomorrow they are all set to face a side who has conceded the least amount of goals in this season. One thing is sure, both the sides deserve to be in the final and it would be a cracking showdown at the St. Francis D’Assisi Ground, Borivali, tomorrow.
Before the final, there will be a third-place encounter between Maryland United and ND2 Soccer Starz, a clash to watch out for.
