The last time both team meet was back in Super league 2008/09, for the survival of the Division 1. The game ended with a draw, following a late strike from former Dettol, Big Joe, a Nigerian International.

But the game, also recorded a dark history that will be in the head of all the players, a bad one it seems. One of Spirulina's players caught on a what it seems a normal tackle, but the outcome, a broken leg. As the results both victims, quits from playing football; one unable to play, and the other afraid to play again.

We would not want the same thing happen in the future.

It seems, both team survive the group at that time and having different path. Spirulina has not been able to really getting a good result eventhough they are performing well in the domestic matches. The rivalry between them and F&F has brought them to another level, a fierce competitor if the right time comes. The likes of Sunnan, Jarir, Nenek and Haziq are not to be overlooked as they are the heart of the team. Their set pieces and freekicks are the most dangerous asset to the team.

Where else, Dettol has gone the opposite side. From a mediocre team, they have join the group of elite with the likes of Victory, F&F, Black Emperor, and Cyber Heat. Claiming the Champion league title on 2008/09 occasion, and 3rd in the Super league 09/10, with an outstanding record 11 undefeated streak. Again, they set their heads towards another silverware, as their 2nd generations players are continuing what has their seniors tried to achieved before. Whether they have what it takes or not, whether they are still the mediocre or not, whether they are regarded as the new emerging elite team or not, only the players could present with the outcome. And again, the task is up to the captain, Adli, to plan his strategies. Dettol new boys, lead by Luqmanare again will be the key factor to the team.

Versatile player, Det, Captain, Adli, and Sharvin is expected to play again, while ex-captain Ammir is unavailable due to International duty.

As all the elite teams, excluding Black Emperor has unexpectedly sink in the tournament, the fans are surely awaits the outcome of this match as old rival Cool United anxiously waiting for the opponent in the final match of the Loser Pool.
