Baravilala says the presence of supporters will boost the team’s morale and give them extra motivation on the field.
He adds that the side is determined to make the most of their home advantage and is aiming to win all three matches scheduled to be played in Ba.
Bula FC will take on Hekari United FC from Papua New Guinea this Sunday at 7pm.
Bula FC is currently in third place on the Pro League table with 15 points.
Auckland FC is leading with 23 points, while South Melbourne FC is second with 19 points.
Looking at the format of the tournament, in phase one of the Pro League, teams play each other twice over five rounds, with each team playing 14 matches.
In phase two, the league splits into two groups — Leaders and Challengers.
Teams then play others in their group once more.
The top three teams from the Leaders group go straight to the semi-finals.
The fourth-placed team in the Leaders group plays the top team from the Challengers group in a playoff for the final semi-final spot.
The semi-finals and final are single matches played at a central venue.
The winners of the semi-finals meet in the final to decide the first-ever OFC Pro League champions.
The league will also decide which team represents Oceania at the FIFA Intercontinental Cup™ and the FIFA Club World Cup.
