Fitness is still a concern for the Whites, but Suva Captain Filipe Baravilala has full confidence in his young team.

“We came back from the festive season, Christmas and New Year’s. The boys are not fit yet but I have confidence in this bunch of boys and also the boys that are going to join us that will lift our performance during this league.”

Labasa is the defending champion of the CVC series while Suva last played in the CvC in 2016 where they lost to Nadi in the first leg and drew one-all in the second match.
