This Saturday at the Uprising Sports Centre, ABA Realtors Nasinu FC will seek to shift their fortunes when they take on the unbeaten Extra Supermarket Labasa FC in round two of the 2025 Extra Premier League. Labasa, the current league leaders and defending BiC Fiji FACT champions, come into the match with high spirits after a decisive 4-2 victory against Nasinu in their first encounter at Subrail Park.
In that opening match, Labasa’s offensive prowess was on full display, with goals from Ratu Arane, Taniela Waqa, Rusiate Doidoi, and Anish Khem, overshadowing efforts from Nasinu’s Jone Rupeni and Kelemedi Matou. With seven wins and two draws to their name, Labasa has established themselves as a formidable force this season, showcasing depth, attacking flair, and cohesion that makes them a tough opponent.
Nasinu, currently sitting ninth on the ladder with eight points, is aiming for an upset. With a couple of wins and draws under their belt, they will rely on a disciplined performance and the advantage of playing on neutral ground to contain Labasa’s offensive threats. Attention will be on the pairing of Rupeni and Matou, who will need to step up to inspire a Nasinu side looking for a mid-season turnaround.
This matchup promises to be competitive, as league standings and momentum are at stake, with Labasa looking to consolidate their top position, while Nasinu seeks to reignite their campaign. Given both teams’ aspirations, fans can anticipate an exhilarating contest filled with passion and intensity.
