Akwa United will hope to return to winning ways with a home duel against already demoted El Kanemi Warriors in Uyo while Enyimba will go in the hunt for a home win against Gombe United.
A win will keep the peoples Elephants in second spot but another home draw could see them relying on other results on the final day to secure the Super Six ticket.
Meanwhile, Bendel Insurance will stake their unbeaten record against Shooting Stars who have little at stake than to end the season with a bang.
Insurance will, however, qualify for the Championship playoffs if they beat the Oluyole Warriors at the dreaded Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium, Benin City.
