CL Financial San Juan Jabloteh will be seeking to make further ground on league leaders North East Stars when they take on recent conquerors Defence Force from 5 p.m. today in a T&T Pro League match at the Hasely Crawford Stadium.
Two weeks ago, the teams battled to a 2-2 regulation period draw in the FCB Cup, before the Defence Force advanced with a 3-1 win on penalty kicks. However, the Army-Coast Guard squad are yet to beat Jabloteh in league competition this season. Two-time champions Jabloteh are seven points behind Pro League leaders North East Stars but neither team will truly be affected by the results of today's match as both have effectively qualified for the Big Six playoffs which will decide the league title. That competition is scheduled to begin on October 24.
