• They struggle to score
  FSA FC Pre- ll average 0.7 goals/game (league avg 1.6); blanked in 1 of 3.

  A higher defensive line and an aggressive counter-press are low-risk here. Keep the back line connected to midfield so one long ball doesn't turn into a 1v1 — that is the only way this opponent scores.

• They leak goals — be greedy
  FSA FC Pre- ll concede 2.7/game; worst result 1–4 at FC Stars Lancaster Pre- II.

  Commit numbers forward, shoot early and often, and attack second balls. Goal difference is the tiebreaker on PPG, so keep playing to score for the full game — rotate players rather than pace.

• Finishing wins the tight ones
  Held scoreless 4 time(s): 0–1 at World Class FC Pre- ll, 0–4 vs FC Stars Lancaster Pre- II, 0–3 at Scorpions SC Pre- ll, 0–2 at Select South Pre- II.

  Against a low block, the first goal usually comes from a cross or a cut-back, not a dribble. Get 2–3 bodies in the box on every wide entry and finish practice this week at game speed.

• Underdog — play free, stay organised
  Model gives 24%; a draw (25%) would be a good result.

  Keep the shape compact, make them play in front of you, and hit space behind their full-backs on transitions. A point here is a win for the table; a win is a season-changer.

• Early kickoff
  Game time 09:00 AM.

  Light breakfast 2+ hours before, longer warm-up, and a loud start — early games are won by whoever is awake at the whistle.

• What a win does
  Connecticut FC United Pre ll sit 8th on 0.00 PPG; we are on 0.00.

  A point moves us above Connecticut FC United Pre ll on PPG (if they don't play). GD is the next tiebreak, so every goal matters — keep attacking with a lead.
