Tailevu Naitasiri faces a formidable challenge this Sunday as they prepare to meet Seaqaqa FC in the decisive second leg of the Extra Senior League playoff final. This match will determine who earns the coveted spot in next season’s Premier Division, replacing Tavua. The Viti Levu champions hold a slim 1-0 lead from the first leg but must navigate the return fixture at Subrail Park in Labasa without several key players.
Defender Mohammed Rasasa will be absent due to suspension following a red card in the first leg, while midfielders Rajneel Prasad and Prashant Kumar are unavailable as they are committed to the Fiji National Futsal Team. These critical absences will test Tailevu Naitasiri’s squad depth and tactical adaptability.
In anticipation of these challenges, the team plans to employ a more conservative approach, emphasizing defensive solidity. They will be relying heavily on the talents of 16-year-old forward Jason Dau to capitalize on counterattacking opportunities.
The match is set to begin at 12:30 PM at Subrail Park, Labasa. As the teams prepare for battle, Tailevu Naitasiri’s strategy will likely focus on utilizing their existing roster effectively to maintain their advantage and secure promotion to the Premier Division.
