League leaders Labasa FC host Lautoka FC this Saturday at Subrail Park at 1:30 pm, aiming to solidify their position atop the standings. Labasa comes into this fixture fresh off an emphatic 3–0 victory over Tavua in Round 12, while Lautoka, fourth in the standings, were held to a goalless draw by Rewa.
This clash at Subrail Park is vital, with Labasa eager to maintain their momentum, while Lautoka aims to reduce the gap with a surprise away result.
Winless and bottom-placed Tavua FC faces Suva FC at Garvey Park this Saturday at 3:00 pm. Tavua urgently seeks its first win, while seventh-placed Suva, who drew with Nadi in Round 12, eyes a climb into the top half of the table.
Ba FC hosts Nasinu FC at the Fiji FA Academy Ground in Ba on Saturday at 3:00 pm. After three consecutive draws, Ba, fifth with 17 points, will seek a vital win. Nasinu, who stunned Ba 3–2 in Round 1, currently sits ninth with just 8 points following a narrow loss to Navua.
Third-placed Navua FC welcomes second-placed Rewa FC to the Uprising Sports Centre this Sunday at 3:00 pm, in a match that could reshape the title race.
Navua, thriving under head coach Babs Khan, has been unbeatable at home in their last three matches, narrowly beating Nasinu 1–0 last weekend. Rewa, currently eight points ahead, were held to a 0–0 draw by Lautoka and must win to keep pace with leaders Labasa.
Nadi FC meets Nadroga FC at Lawaqa Park in Sigatoka this Sunday at 1:00 pm, in a hotly contested western rivalry. Sixth-placed Nadi, boosted by the return of Canadian-based head coach Raj Dayal and a Canadian striker, will look to repeat their 2–0 Round 1 win over eighth-placed Nadroga, who come into this match after holding Ba to a 1–1 draw last weekend.
