The Nadroga soccer team will face an uphill battle when it travels to Nausori on Sunday in the second leg of the Promotion Relegation match against Tailevu/Naitasiri.

Some of their key players who have been part of the team this season will miss the crucial encounter as they cannot get their release from work while two other players are in the Fiji U-20 team.

Defender Archie Watkins and mid-fielder Sumeel Krishna are with the national side while goalkeeper Jonetani Ralulu and players, Pauliasi Gavidi and Ranjeet Singh are tied up with work commitments.

The Stallions who were the feared side in the 1990's will need to beat Tailevu/Naitasiri on Sunday to remain in the Super Premier ranks after both sides were locked 1 all last Friday at Lawaqa park.

The Nadroga and Tailevu/Naitasiri second leg of the Promotion Relegation on Sunday will kick-off at 1pm at Ratu Cakobau Park.
