Nasinu has a narrow opportunity to secure its first-ever Extra Premier League title this season. Currently sitting in fourth place with 21 points after round 14, the team trails leaders Ba by nine points. With only four games left, Nasinu faces a challenging path. They must win all their remaining matches, including three home games against Nadi, Suva, and Navua, and an away fixture against Nadoga. Additionally, they need favorable results in other games, as leaders Ba, Labasa, and Rewa also vie for the title. Ba leads the standings with 30 points, followed by Labasa (29) and Rewa (28). The remaining rounds present tough fixtures for the top teams, with Ba facing difficult away games against Labasa and Rewa, while also hosting Lautoka and Tailevu Naitasiri. Labasa has away matches against Navua and Tailevu Naitasiri, with home games against Ba and Lautoka. Rewa's remaining schedule includes away trips to Nadi and Navua, and home matches against Suva and Ba. The 'giant killers' must capitalize on every opportunity to make history.
