THE stage is set for a fierce showdown as log leaders Bulawayo Chiefs square off with second-placed Nkayi United in a make-or-break ZIFA Southern Region Division One League clash this weekend.
The mouthwatering duel will be played at White City Stadium, with everything on the line. Chiefs lead the pack with 57 points, just three ahead of Nkayi, who are breathing down their necks with 54 points.
Hwange, lurking in third place on 50 points, will be keeping a close eye on the outcome as a slip-up by either of the top two could blow the title race wide open.
Both Chiefs and Nkayi have been in scintillating form, and this clash has all the ingredients of a title decider. Chiefs boast a well-oiled attack that has tormented defences all season, while Nkayi are known for their grit and never-say-die attitude.
Elsewhere, Hwange will be at home to Eagle Life at the Colliery, hoping to pile pressure on the leading duo. Mainline host Bulawayo City at Dingimuzi, while Casmyn entertain Zebra Revolution at Turkmine.
Jordan take on Talen Vision in Mthwakazi, BlackRock face Bulawayo Warriors, and Vic Falls City Herentals clash with Nust FC at Chinotimba Stadium. Imbizo will battle Bosso 90 at Llewellyn in another potentially explosive fixture.
With just a handful of games left, every point matters and this weekend could prove decisive in the race for top-flight promotion.
