Match Preview – Home United vs Tagawa

Tagawa continued to surge forward to the finals as they faced Home United today at Kovan CSC, 8.30pm. Home United who need a win in this match in order to qualify for the Semi-final should go all out and win this tie.

Home United’s center have not been playing up to par in this campaign. Neither offence nor defence is up to par with their reputation in this age category. Against a more consistence Tagawa, Home United would need to hit them right from the start. Home will look at their centers to perform today as well as No.5 Larry, No.6 Jun Hao and No.14 Wei Hao to get their shots back into the basket.

They would need to stop Tagawa’s No.9, the soul of the team, in order to progress further. Although Tagawa has a pool of talented players in the squad, their plays revolved around their No.9. Another one to watch out will be their No.8. Bless with pace and built, this forward can terrorised any defence on his day.

It will be an uphill task for Home to beat Tagawa given that they are running a straight 2 loses. It would be difficult for any youth players to regain their moral especially losing in the last 2 matches with such a big margin. But again, if they don’t bounce back today, they will never be as today is the crucial match for them to progress further in the competition and progress to be a better player.
