THE race for the 2026 Extra Premier League title reaches another crucial stage this weekend as round 16 promises tough competition across the country.
League leaders Ba will be looking to maintain their place at the top after another impressive outing last weekend after a 4-1 victory against Lautoka FC. The Men in Black know there is little room for error with Labasa keeping the pressure on.
The Babasiga Lions have shown they are capable of grinding out results after a 1-0 win against Navua FC, and will be eager to capitalise on any slip-up in the title race.
Former champions Rewa also remain firmly in contention and cannot afford to drop points after a draw against Nadi FC last weekend with competition now reaching an important stage.
Round 16 is expected to deliver another weekend of fast-paced football, with title contenders chasing valuable victories and underdogs hoping to upset the competition’s heavyweights.
Fans can expect intense battles as the Extra Premier League edges closer to its conclusion.
The main focus for this week’s round will be the clash between the Men in Black (Ba) and Babasiga Lions (Labasa). The match will determine whether Ba will maintain its first-place position in the league standing or will Labasa finally take lead.
