The Fiji Pearls side is counting down the hours as they prepare to meet the host Cook Islands in the first Pacific Netball Series match.
Defending champions Fiji defeated Cook Islands 60-41 in the series last year.
Coach Julie Hornwegg said media reports in the Cook Islands state that Samoa is the favorites and no one has picked them to win.
The Pearls will play Cook Island at 2:30pm today.
