Audi
Audi, the combination of Argentinean stars and local talent, are flying high and are quite optimistic not to repeat the practice of the last year’s finals. Audi as compared to the Lechuza has a better track record in the event and won all the games played
so far. It cruised past Las Monjitas, Pony Express, Orchard Hill, Zacara and Valiente in the earlier matches.
The squad of Audi has scored 65 goals and conceded only 47 in the last five games. It has a tendency to take challenges, so the final game against Lechuza will be a worth watching contest. The players of Audi have a better game plan and an impressive attack
that can lead them to the title victory.
Lechuza
Apart from losing a game, Lechuza also have an impressive track record. It has won four games out of total five played so far in this tournament. They are looking to continue their action with high spirit in order to win the title of the tournament.
It has overwhelmed Faraway, Piaget, Bendabout and talented Las Monjitas in the previous games. However, they also have tasted a defeat in the hands of Zacara in the group stage. Among all the four victories, the quarter-final victory was an appalling and
completely unanticipated success. They crossed through the ball from opposite goal-post 53 times, while received only 41 goals in the last five games which they have played.
The coordination among the players of Lechuza was outstanding and it will surely serve them in the final game. If they coordinate with each other well in the final contest, the game surely will be in their favour.
