Solomon Warriors to change strategy against Rewa in OFC Champions League clash

The Solomon Warriors are set to alter their game plan in tomorrow’s OFC Men’s Champions League match against Rewa in Tahiti. This strategic shift comes after contrasting outcomes in their recent matches: Rewa’s 2-2 draw with defending champions Auckland City, and the Warriors’ 0-2 loss to Papua New Guinea’s Hekari United.

Solomon Warriors coach Frank Ne’e highlighted the distinct playing styles of their opponents, noting that while Rewa presents a challenging game, their approach differs from Hekari’s aggressive, high-energy play. “I think Rewa is the same like Hekari but Hekari is more aggressive and they play running football so we’ll need to change our playing style depending on Rewa’s game,” said Ne’e.

In a boost for Rewa, the Delta Tigers will see the return of key players Samuela Kautoga and Iosefo Verevou, who are available for selection after serving suspensions for yellow card accumulations during the National Play-offs against Lautoka in February.
