With one round left, the top four teams in the Skipper Cup competition have already confirmed their place in the semifinals.

After round 13 of competition - Suva, Naitasiri, Nadroga and Namosi have all booked a place in the semifinals and a loss in the final round this weekend will not move them out of the top four.

However, this week's results will be vital for Naitasiri, Nadroga, and Namosi as it will determine who finishes second, third, and fourth.

Suva will finish the season on top even if they lose to Namosi this week.

The defending champions have 47 points, Naitasiri is second with 41 points, Nadroga is third with 39 points and Namosi is in fourth place with 38 points.

Lautoka and Yasawa will be relegated to the Vanua Championship next season while Rewa and Northland will be promoted back to the Skipper Cup.

This week, Nadi will host Tailevu in the Skipper Cup and Farebrother Sullivan Trophy Challenge, Suva will take on Namosi, Naitasiri will face Yasawa and Nadroga will play Lautoka.
