Suva and Ba will need to win their upcoming matches and hope that Lautoka doesn’t bag any more points.

Lautoka coach Imdad Ali says they are in a situation where winning is the only option.

“We should go for a win because Nadroga playing at their home turf is going to be difficult but nevertheless, I have faith in my boys.”

Ali says they have to capitalize on their chances and tighten their midfield in order to attain the goal set.

Lautoka faces Nadroga tomorrow at 4pm at Lawaqa Park in Sigatoka.

In other matches, Ba meets Rewa and 2pm while Suva battles Labasa at 4pm at the ANZ Stadium and you can listen to the live commentaries of these matches on Mirchi FM.
