When did Norvan last play a game? Have a practice? What do they have to play for?
I'll be shocked if this game is even close. Something to consider for the future is the way make up games are scheduled... Div1 had a lot of problems like this as well this season.
I will be a difficult game for Campo Atletico. Norvan is a very difficult team to beat. They never stop fighting, and they can score goals when is less expected.
Our informant has disclosed that they are not taking it easy. They are disappointed with the elimination, but they have kept practicing and having games with other teams. They are in full force and ready for a game.
Yes, it would be better for them to lose to Campo, so next year they have to deal with GN and not with Campo again. However, Norvan coaches/managment has had issues with Campo players over a span of several years. They will not surrender.
My assessment is that we will be lucky if we get a draw out of Norvan. The most likely scenario is tie and a playoff with GN or even a straight win for GN. I hope that this does not happen given how hard the players have worked in the season. Having said this I am also very realistic of the situation for this game.
If God, be blessed, wants us to move to division 1; then we will be given the win. If destiny wants us to be here in division 2 one more year or two years, then this will be. In any case, for us coming this far has been way beyond our initial expectations, so we could not be more satisfied or happy with the outcome so far. I pray that the light blue of Campo flies victorious over the red of Norvan. This would seem fair given the effort and dedication of the Campo players, but in soccer nothing is written or given. Anything can happen. It should be a hell of a contested match.
