The postponed Round Two matches of the Extra Premier League will be played this Sunday before the competition goes on a break and resumes after the Easter holidays.

The matches could have a significant impact on the current standings.

Extra Supermarket Labasa FC leads the table with seven points, level with Dayal’s Sawmillers Ba FC but ahead on superior goal difference.

Ba will have the opportunity to move to the top when it faces Nasinu FC at 3pm at 4R Stadium, Govind Park in Ba. A win for the Men-in-Black could see them overtake Labasa depending on the outcome of the match between Stratum Construction Rewa FC and Labasa FC at Ratu Cakobau Park in Nausori.

If Rewa defeats Labasa or holds the Babasiga Lions to a draw, Ba could take control of the table.

Nasinu will also be aiming to improve its position on the table with a win over Ba.

Ratu Cakobau Park will host a double-header, with Tailevu Naitasiri FC meeting Lautoka FC at noon before Rewa faces Labasa at 2pm.

The Round Two clash between Tagimoucia Nadi FC and Suva FC will be rescheduled because of the unavailability of Prince Charles Park in Nadi.
