Mount Pleasant Football Academy entered their previous match on the brink of elimination from the Concacaf Caribbean Cup Club Championship.

Today, they could finish atop Group B, but they must first defeat arch-rivals Cavalier Football Club in an all-Jamaica showdown that will determine whether they advance to the semi-finals or bow out of the competition.

Kick-off is set for 6 p.m. at the National Stadium. Cavalier, with two points from three matches, cannot advance beyond the group stage.
