New leaders Power Dynamos will look to put some daylight between themselves and the chasing pack this weekend when they host Lumwana Radiants in the MTN Super League on Saturday.
Dynamos surged to the top of the table following five wins in succession, while others in the title race have stumbled in recent games.
Radiants are only two places outside the relegation zone, but their form recently has been decent, with four wins and a draw in their last eight league games.
Dynamos have not lost to their visitors in their last 14 league encounters (W8 D6) and remarkable have only conceded four goals in that time.
Second-placed ZESCO United, who were bumped off top spot on goal-difference last weekend, are at surprise strugglers Zanaco, who find themselves in the bottom four, but also only on goal-difference.
Back-to-back victories have taken them towards safety and this will be no easy task for the visitors.
ZESCO have only lost once in their last 19 league games, but with 11 draws and seven wins in that time, they have had far too many stalemates and their once commanding lead at the top of the table has been eroded.
They have, however, not won at Zanaco since 2018 (D2 L4).
Back-to-back losses have seen Kabwe Warriors slip four points off the leaders and they will be desperate to get back to winnings way at FC MUZA. Their hosts have lost their last three games in a row.
Nkana FC are in four, but five points off the leaders, and they take on the team in fifth on Sunday when they go to defending champions Red Arrows.
The last four meetings between the sides have resulted in two wins each, while the last 31 league clashes see Nkana edge the head-to-head 12-11.
Other matches on Saturday see Mufulira Wanderers host Green Eagles, Nchanga Rangers welcome Atletico Lusaka, NAPSA Stars go to Forest Rangers, Green Buffaloes entertain Mutondo Stars and bottom side Indent host Nkwazi.
