Why do people think Jellal will fight Mard??

-Similar style.

-It doesn't look like Mard will lose.....AT ALL! This would be like having Midnight defeated before Angel in the OS arc and Bluenote defeated before Kain Hikaru in the Tenrou arc. It's just not happening.

-Since I believe CSK will lose,Mard needs a new opponent.Who will that be?? Who is the most logical fit?

Jellal.

Him being blind is yet to be confirmed. He opened his eyes in the last scene and we don't know what happened there. And even if it comes down to it,the possibility of Doranbolt and Wendy meeting up with Jellal's group is high.Wendy took him out of a coma,you think she wouldn't be able to cure his damaged eye??

There is Mard,Kyouka,Silver,Tempesta,Minerva,Keith,Torafusa and E.N.D at the end. That's more than what the character who haven't fought yet can handle.

I'm not sure about the OS's role but they can team-up against one enemy,team up with FT members,get defeated to hype the enemy or even fight against the fodder troops.
