Vincy T10 Premier League is over the half-way mark with every team facing each other at least once in the group stages. All the teams still have three more matches where they face off other teams for the second time.

Grenadines Divers and Fort Charlotte Strikers occupy the fifth and sixth positions in the points table respectively.

But they still have a chance to make the cut mathematically and will look to give their best and hope for the other results to go their way.

Fort Charlotte Strikers Preview

Fort Charlotte Strikers have lost all their games and their chances of qualification look very bleak. This might take the pressure off their back and they might play with freedom in this match.
