The Labasa football team is gearing up for a critical match in their quest for the Extra Premier League (EPL) title. With eight games remaining, Labasa coach Alvin Chand emphasized the importance of maintaining their current momentum as they prepare to face Rewa at Subrail Park. A victory against Rewa could substantially influence their chances of clinching the league title.
Chand highlighted the need for the team to capitalize on their home advantage, stating that with a good number of home games left, they aim to achieve full points in those encounters. The Babasiga Lions will also face Nadroga, Lautoka, and Navua among others as they look to secure vital points for the season.
Key players for Labasa, including striker Christopher Wasasala and midfielder Anish Khem, will shoulder significant responsibility in the remaining matches. Chand has stressed the importance of discipline on the field, urging players to avoid cards and maintain focus on their attacking style of play. He believes that setting challenging targets can motivate the team to break records and achieve greatness.
This preparation comes on the heels of Labasa’s solid performance in the league, where they have shown strong form, notably winning both their matches against Nasinu, scoring 4-2 at home and an impressive 6-0 away. This consistent performance underscores their capability to contend for the title.
Additionally, the intensity surrounding the league is palpable, with other teams like Navua also in pursuit of the championship. The excitement of the league highlights the competitive spirit within Fijian football and offers a chance for emerging talents to shine.
With the determination evident in their training and strategies, Labasa’s fans can hold onto hope as they aim for a successful conclusion to the season. The team’s ability to adapt and persevere through challenges sets a positive tone for the upcoming matches.
