Chicken Inn 1 - 1 Shabanie
Chicken Inn are now top of the Premier Soccer League standings at least for 24 hours, after playing out a 1-all draw with Shabanie Mine at Luveve stadium on Friday afternoon.
The Gamecock now have 30 points, one more than Highlanders who are second on 29 points.
Dynamos, who are third on 28 points could leap-frog both Chicken Inn and Highlanders if they beat How Mine at Luveve stadium on Saturday same as fourth-placed Harare City who have a date with Hwange at Rufaro stadium on the same day.
A fortnight ago, DeMbare clobbered How Mine 3-nil at Rufaro, but the Sunshine Boys were massacred 4-1 by Chipangano at the colliery.
In Saturday's other tie, Triangle will be looking to move clear of the relegation zone when they travel to Harare for a date with police outfit Black Mambas.
On Sunday, Highlanders will be hoping to reclaim pole position in the domestic premiership when they host Caps United at Barbourfields stadium.
Bosso were beaten 2-1 by the Green Machine two weeks ago at the National Sports Stadium and more than just three points will be at stake.
Mutare side Buffaloes will also be aiming to bounce back from a humiliating 4-2 defeat suffered two weeks ago when they take on Triple B in Mutare.
Black Rhinos will also be seeking revenge against FC Platinum at Rimuka stadium after losing the reverse fixture 1-nil in Zvishavane.
Motor Action and Monomotapa square off at Motor Action Sports Club on Sunday with the Mighty Bulls under pressure to deliver and move away from the drop zone.
The two teams will be clashing for the third time in two weeks after Monoz won 2-1 in the league on Monday last week before running out 1-nil victors in the BancABC Super 8 Cup.
