The Lautoka soccer team players that will be fielded in today's starting line-up against Tavua will also play against Hekari United in the O-League on Sunday.

This means that Samuela Vula who will miss Sunday's game because of two yellow cards, will be on the reserve bench while Leone Vurakania will start in his place.

Defender Ilaitia Tuilau is also expected to start today and he is being eyed to play against Hekari.

Lautoka Soccer President Shalen Prasad said they want the players to form a good combination for the must win match against Hekari United and at the same time also take Tavua seriously, so that they continue with their winning run in the National League Competition.

Prasad is confident that his side will beat Tavua today and go into Sunday's match with much confidence.

The Lautoka/Tavua match will today kickoff at 7:30pm at Churchill Park while on Sunday at 3pm they take on Hekari United in the O-League at the same venue.
