There are four games are on cards on Saturday. The league was put on hold on May 12 to pave way for Amavubi’s preparation ahead of the World/Africa Nations’ Cup qualifiers against Zambia and Egypt but the preparations yielded little after back to back defeats.

While Rayon are seven points off the pace in third place. Ends
