The Navua football club is gearing up for a critical Extra Premier League match against Nasinu, approaching the game with a sense of caution due to Nasinu’s recent impressive upset over Lautoka. Coach Saiyad Ali acknowledged the unpredictable nature of Nasinu, noting their previous performances that have often been commendable. “Nasinu has done the hard work and so have we. We will not take this game lightly,” Ali stated, emphasizing the significance of studying past encounters to better prepare.
The match poses additional challenges for Navua as they will be without two important national team players, Sairusi Naulabu and Filipe Baravilala. This absence will necessitate some adjustments within the squad, but the team remains committed to rising to the occasion and adapting to these changes effectively.
In tandem with the Navua vs. Nasinu match, two other important fixtures will take place today: Ba will take on Nadroga at the Fiji FA Academy, and Nadi will face Suva at Prince Charles Park, both matches starting at 3 PM.
The growing competitiveness of the Extra Premier League highlights the ambitions of teams like Navua and Nasinu, ensuring an exhilarating experience for football enthusiasts. As the season unfolds, fans can look forward to more surprises and standout performances that will add excitement to the league.
