This comes as the Stallions beat Tailevu Naitasiri 2-0 in the opening clash of the promotion relegation series at Lawaqa Park in Sigatoka on Thursday night.
The two-match series is being replayed following the protest hearing last Sunday in Nadi.
Setareki Delana gave the homeside a 1-0 just inside the first half an hour of the clash. Trailing 0-1 at the break Tailevu Naitasiri had all to play for in the second half but departing star Samuela Drudru faded the visitors hope as his 64th gave Nadroga a comfortable lead heading towards the last quarter of the match.
Nadroga was later reduced to 10 man when Saheem Koya was sent off for his second caution. This may have provided a glimpse of hope for Tailevu Naitasiri to reduce the goal difference but Nadroga held on for a victory at home.
The second and final match of the series will be played this Sunday 1pm at Ratu Cakobau Park in Nausori.
