IT is going to be a top-of-the-table clash in the Kumul Petroleum National Soccer League New Guinea Islands (NGI) Conference at the Sasi Muthuvel Stadium in Kimbe, West New Britain, on Saturday.
The round-three fixture will see unbeaten sides AROB Chebu and West Tribe face off for the first time.
West Tribe, under Coach Hans Fred, secured their first away win last Saturday against Radazz in Kokopo and were held to a draw with Green Gold the week before.
Learning from their mistakes in round one, Fred will definitely mobilise his players to stand up in front of their home fans but more importantly, execute their game plan with efficiency.
AROB, on the other hand, were on a bye last weekend and will be looking to make it two wins in a row after a 4-0 victory over Radazz in round one.
AROB will need midfielder Ferdinand Kusi and Isaac Karai to take control of the middle to set up their strikers Daniel Apako and Jeffrey Brian if they want a victory.
The other NGI fixture will be the local derby between Radazz and Vudal Gazelle at the Ceremonial Park in Kokopo.
Radazz have lost two in a row and will be looking to secure their first win while Gazelle are going to play their first semi-professional match after failing to turn up in Kimbe last weekend due to difficulties with transport.
Green Gold are on a bye this weekend.
