Key Players and Absences
Police FC brings a mix of experience and youthful exuberance to this fixture. Forward Marcus Joseph has been instrumental in their attack, showing a knack for finding the back of the net. Midfield maestro Kevon Goddard orchestrates play with precision and flair, often dictating the tempo of the game. Defender Jameel Perry provides stability at the back, his aerial ability a crucial asset during set pieces. While the team has depth, they’ll miss the influence of injured winger Kareem Freitas, whose pace often unbalances defenses. Another notable absentee is midfielder Elijah Belgrave, sidelined due to suspension.
San Juan Jabloteh boasts a formidable squad, headlined by prolific striker Nathan Lewis, whose goal-scoring prowess is a constant threat to opponents. Midfielder Tyrone Charles pulls the strings in the center, his vision and passing range pivotal in creating goal-scoring opportunities. Defender Josiah Trimmingham stands as a rock in their defense, his commanding presence vital in thwarting opposition attacks. They'll be without the services of key playmaker Aikim Andrews, whose creativity and flair will be missed. Also absent is defensive stalwart Jevon Morris, sitting out due to injury.
