It will be a battle of Fijian minds when Lautoka takes on Hekari United this Saturday in the crucial O-league match.

The Fijian minds will be put to work as Hekari United coaching staff are expected to name five Fijians in their starting lineup against the Blues.

Ba's Tuimasi Manuca, Alvin Singh, Malakai Tiwa with Labasa's Pita Baleitoga and deadly striker Osea Vakatalesau have all played exceptionally well throughout for the Papua New Guinea club and should be named on the run on side this weekend.

Hekari United is in a must situation against Lautoka and having the services of five Fijians in the team will be a bonus for them as they all are aware Lautoka's weaknesses.

Meanwhile, Lautoka soccer officials are trying their level best to get the release of Nadroga's Samuela Drudru and Labasa's Akuila Mataisuva for the duo to feature for the blues this week.

The O-league match between Lautoka and Hekari United will kick off 3pm this Saturday at Churchill Park and you can catch a live commentary on our sister station, Radio Sargam.
