Suva is on the verge of creating unwanted history on the domestic football scene.
The side could miss out on playing in the Digicel Fiji FACT for the first time ever.
It comes as the side was beaten 2-4 by Lautoka in the Digicel Fiji Premier League this afternoon and is now in last place on the points table.
This as Tailevu Naitasiri beat Nadroga 2-0 and Nasinu upset Navua 3-1.
Action from the Nasinu vs Navua match
Suva under new mentor Shabneel Prasad who is the Whites fourth coach of the season has five points after eight matches.

Tailevu Naitasiri now has seven points heading into the last matches of the first-round next week.
Labasa plus seven other teams will be featuring in the FACT.
Suva plays Nadi and needs a win in the next match, while Tailevu Naitasiri meets Lautoka and only needs a draw, provided Suva does not win by a massive scoreline to ensure FACT qualification.
Nasinu, who will be playing Nadroga will.be hoping to have things work out for them, and that Suva and Tailevu Naitasiri lose.
