SAVUSAVU has to fight to remain in the top flight when it faces Nadi and Nadroga in its remaining National Football League matches this weekend.

The minnows will be hosted by Nadi at 7pm tonight before taking on Nadroga tomorrow in the Fiji Sun/GP Batteries sponsored competition. Savusavu Football president Gopendra Narayan said player fatigue from excessive travelling was their major worry.

He said Fiji Football Association scheduled them to play Nadi last night but they were unable to secure the release of the players.

"Most of our players are working and we cannot secure their release for the match tonight (yesterday) so we don't have any choice but play two games within less than 24 hours," Narayan said.

"We will try our best to win both games and remain in the super premier grade."
