FAZ Super Division leaders Zanaco on Saturday look set to open a ten-point lead at the summit when they host Nkwazi at Sunset Stadium in Lusaka.
Both sides clash in this week 12 Lusaka derby in high spirits following their respective midweek victories.
The Bankers thumped Red Arrows at home while the Police side disconnected champions Zesco United 2-1 away in Ndola.
With second placed Zesco who have 20 points not in action, Mumamba Numba’s Zanaco could move to 30 points if they beat Nkwazi.
However, Nkwazi are not push-overs and are further motivated by the possibility to go second should they win at Sunset.
Nkwazi are third on the table with 19 points after 11 games.
“Zanaco’s game is different from the match against Zesco. We just have to work hard so that we have a positive result,” Nkwazi coach Elijah Chikwanda said.
Elsewhere on Saturday, Lusaka’s Woodlands Stadium is hosting a double-header involving Nkana, Napsa Stars, Green Buffaloes and Red Arrows.
Bottom placed Napsa face Nkana in the lunch time kickoff match before Buffaloes tackles Arrows in the Lusaka derby.
The only game on the Copperbelt this weekend will see improved Forest Rangers host National Assembly at Dola Hill in Ndola.
Mighty Mufulira Wanderers led by inspirational skipper Taonga Bwembya have travelled to Mazabuka to confront Nakambala Leopards at Nakambala Stadium.
Meanwhile, FAZ has postponed the potentially explosive Copperbelt derby between Power Dynamos and Zesco set for Kitwe.
