Power Dynamos coach Tennant Chilumba says they cannot afford to slip-up on Saturday when they visit Green Eagles in Choma.
Second placed Power will be hoping to avoid becoming another casualty at Eagles where only three teams have left with a win this season.
Kabwe Warriors, Nakambala Leopards and league leaders Zanaco are the only teams have have escaped Choma with the three points so far this year.
Power visit Eagles armed with a majestic 7-1 home win over free-falling National Assembly last Saturday.
“We are treating each team like the first team we are playing this season. We just have to focus from the first whistle,” Chilumba said.
“Looking at the way we are playing now the boys are now focused and know what’s at stake.”
Power will be without striker Jimmy Ndhlovu who is nursing injuries sustained in a car accident that occurred just 24 hours after scoring four goals against Assembly.
Victory over 8th placed Eagles will still keep Power in second place should Zanaco who are one point ahead on 50 points beat visiting second from bottom Konkola Mine Police in Lusaka on the same date.
Elsewhere, third placed Zesco United visit Konkola Blades in Chililabombwe.
Fourth positioned Napsa Stars await Green Buffaloes at Woodlands Stadium in Lusaka.
National Assembly will play Red Arrows in an all relegation fight in the lunchtime kick off of the Woodlands doubleheader.
At Nkana Stadium in Kitwe, Kabwe Warriors face bottom placed Roan United as curtain-raiser for the Nkana versus Nchanga Ranger clash.
In Mazabuka, Nakambala Leopards host fellow promoted side Indeni.
