It’s been a tough journey for both these players on their road to the PS4 Pro Circuit Melbourne final, but both have shown their immense capabilities by securing a place in the final and, more importantly, a potential birth in the Pro Circuit Main Event to be held in August.
While Raheem, arguably the best FIFA player in Australia, boasts an impressive competitive track record, Juzzomac comes into the clash having only made it past the quarter-finals for the first time in his competitive career. Can the underdog come out triumphant?
AUSFIFA H2H Record
Juzzomac: 36-6-6
Raheem: 16-1-1
Road to the Final
Despite being on the receiving end of a tough draw, Juzzomac showed his class with impressive victories against some of the better FIFA players in the tournament. Wins against Damienmac and Gamefanatic proved that Juzzo deserved his place in the final.
It’s hard to say if Raheem has come up against anyone who possibly could’ve beaten him, as he seems to make even the best FIFA players look mediocre. An impressive run to the final has seen him not even concede any matches in the double elimination format, further enhancing his credentials as the best FIFA player in Australia.
What to expect
Expect goals, and plenty of them. These two aren’t notorious for their defensive capabilities, but both are incredible attackers. Juzzomac is expected to lineup using a formidable Bayern Munich outfit, boasting attacking talent such as Robert Lewandowski, Thomas Muller and Arjen Robben. However, it’ll be the midfield where Juzzomac could have the edge, often flooding his midfield to his advantage in order to cramp his opponents attacking plays and cut down options for the man on the ball. Munich are gifted with a plethora of world class midfielders, so players like Mario Gotze, Xabi Alonso, Thiago, Arturo Vidal and even Philipp Lahm are more than capable of assisting Juzzomac.
On the other hand, Raheem is an out and out attacker with flair not found in many other players. Expected to lineup with Real Madrid, Raheem will use the pace, dribbling and passing of a daunting Madrid side to his advantage, often looking for the three key players in Karim Benzema, Gareth Bale and of course, Cristiano Ronaldo. However, will a defence of Marcelo, Sergio Ramos, Pepe and Carvajal be able to handle Bayern Munich?
Expert Predictions
Kani – I’m going go out on a limb and predict that Juzzomac will win the series 2-1. He’s played Raheem before and was very unlucky to not at least win a game. He needs to take every chance that comes his way. Finishing was his downfall the last time they met, and if he can sort that out then I think he has a good chance of causing an upset.
ICYRX8 – Raheem. This is the first time Juzzomac has advanced past the quarter-finals in an AUSFIFA competition, while I believe Raheem has won the past five. That experience will get him across the line.
