The battle for second position hots-up this afternoon when fourth placed Power Dynamos takes on second placed Nkwazi.
The two teams are separated by a point and a win for Power will see them leap-frog Nkwazi into second position.
Power come into the match with the better form of the two having not lost in the last five matches but will be concerned that they have not picked a in the last two matches having drawn against Nchanga Ranger and and Green Eagles.
Nkwazi on the other hand have only lost once in the last five games with their last three matches ending in draws.
The two will however be weary of seventh placed Zesco United on 20 points who host Nchanga Rangers and could easily end the day in second position if they win their game and Nkwazi and Power play to a draw.
Zesco themselves have had poor results at home having lost twice in a roll to Forest Rangers and Nkwazi.
A win for Nchanga Rangers will see them move out of the relegation zone.
The Zesco United coach Lwandamina George who is also national team interim coach will be up against his national team assistant Fighton Simukonda in this match.
Elsewhere Nakambala will host Red Arrows in Mazabuka.
