The New England Free Jacks were brilliant in their game against Old Glory DC in the quarterfinal stage, and in this one, they will look to keep things going. In that encounter, the New England Free Jacks were brilliant at halftime, scoring 20 goals while conceding 21. However, this team struggled in the second half, scoring three goals, while the Old Glory DC scored 8. However, New England Free Jacks head into this game with confidence as they have won five of their last six matches, their lone defeat coming against NOLA Gold. 

Chicago Hounds ran riot in their game against NOLA Gold in this fixture; they will look to keep things going. In a match that ended 21-45, Chicago Hounds took a 2-goal lead at the end of the first half, which ended 16-18, but their 5-27 win in the second half was good enough to see this side win by a good number of points.

I will take a chance on the Chicago Hounds in this game. The New England Free Jacks were brilliant all season and come into this one as a favorite. However, the Chicago Hounds were a tough opponent for the New England Free Jacks in their last meeting, and in this kind of encounter, I am confident they have what it takes to take them to the final.
