THE MHF-NSC-Milo Junior League Division One League title will be a toss between UniKL and Bandar Penawar Sports School (BPSS) when they square off on April 24 at the Kuala Lumpur HA Stadium.
UniKL have maximum 24 points after eight matches, while BPSS 21 after seven matches. BPSS will have an easy encounter against eighth-spot Ipoh Juniors, on April 22, and then the crunch match will decided the new champion.
For the record, BPSS are the defending League champions, while UniKL the Overall champions.
Last season, UniKL needed a win to seal the League title, but drew 1-1 and finished second. The 1-1 draw was enough for BPSS-Thunderbolt, who have been competing since 2000, to bag their maiden Division One title with 22 points from seven wins and a draw.
UniKL finished second with 20 points from six wins and two draws.
“We were so close to a double, but the draw dashed our hopes. This season, we have piled up the goals and have a 12- goal lead over BPSS.
“However, even with the comfortable goal-lead, we do not intend to play for another draw. An outright win is what I will plan for,” said UniKL coach S. Velappan.
Both the teams are undefeated this season, and UniKL can even afford a draw in their last match, unless BPSS score 13 goals against Ipoh Juniors.
