About 5000 fans are expected to pack Luganville Soccer City Stadium in Vanuatu this afternoon to witness Lautoka take on home-side Malampa Revivors FC for their OFC Champions League Group B clash.

Lautoka were Champions League finalists in 2018 when they were defeated by New Zealand’s Team Wellington, but they failed to advance from their group last year.

With a renewed focus and some player turnover, Lautoka will be ready to perform in the group.
