THE Savusavu soccer side is confident of retaining its spot in the Super Premier Division when they face off with Tailevu Naitasiri in the second match of the 2012 Fiji Football Association promotion/relegation series.

They drew 1-all in the first match at Ratu Cakobau Park in Nausori last weekend and this weekend's game will be hosted by Savusavu at Ganilau Park.

Savusavu Football Association president Gopendra Narayan said his team was not 100 per cent in the first match but would be prepared for the second match.

He said the return of key players and the full recovery of those injured would boost his side.

"When we played in the first match, players like Thomas Vulivuli and Akuila Baleiloa were carrying injuries and players like Epeli Deyama and Waisale Rasoki did not travel with the side," Narayan said.

"But they will recover by this weekend and Deyama and Rasoki will play for us," he said.
