TWO crucial Castle Lager Premier Soccer League fixtures are on the cards today, with the championship and relegation battles both taking centre stage.
At Ascot Stadium in Gweru, log leaders Scottland FC can be crowned champions today with a win, as they need 3 points from their remaining three matches to win the title, when they face already-relegated Kwekwe United. The Scotts, sitting pretty on 62 points, hold a four-point cushion over second-placed MWOS and are just a step away from completing a remarkable fairy-tale season.
United, whose fate has already been sealed, will be hoping to play for pride against the high-flying Scottland outfit that has dazzled fans all year.
Meanwhile, at Rufaro Stadium, fallen giants Dynamos find themselves fighting for their top-flight lives as they take on Bikita Minerals in a tense relegation dogfight.
DeMbare, sitting second from the bottom on 34 points, are tied with Yadah Stars and Triangle United and desperately need a win to keep their PSL hopes alive.
Today’s Fixtures:
• Kwekwe United v Scottland (Ascot Stadium)
• Dynamos v Bikita Minerals (Rufaro Stadium)
Saturday’s Results:
Chicken Inn 1-1 CAPS United
Herentals 0-1 Yadah Stars
Manica Diamonds 1-0 Ngezi Platinum Stars
MWOS 1-0 Triangle

TelOne 1-1 GreenFuel

All eyes will be on Ascot and Rufaro this afternoon as the race for glory and the fight for survival reach fever pitch.
