the ZIFA Matebeleland South Division Two League Pool B prepares for Matchday 17 over the weekend.
Second placed Vhembe Stars Academy U19 travel to Malungudzi on Saturday to face Tshaswingo Academy.
Third placed Ha Mozy will host Dulibadzimu United on Sunday.
Three teams remain in contention for the promotional spot, but only one of West Academy, Vhembe Stars Academy U19 and Ha Mozy can qualify for the CRSL.
Vhembe Stars U19’s bid to maintain their position at the top of the standings suffered a major setback after they lost at home to Ha Mozy over the weekend.
Their senior team also endured a disappointing weekend, suffering relegation after losing 2-1 to Kwekwe.
West Academy currently lead the standings with 33 points and a superior goal difference of +18.
Vhembe Stars U19 and Ha Mozy occupy second and third positions respectively, with 31 points each.
Vhembe Stars enjoy the advantage of a superior goal difference.
With only two rounds of matches remaining, the promotion race is finely poised.
Vhembe Stars have a game in hand, meaning they have three matches left to play and an additional opportunity to overtake their rivals.
Vhembe will be under much pressure to secure promotion as they seek to restore their relegated senior team’s status in the Central Region Soccer League.
It is a challenge that the young side will be determined to overcome as they look to redeem their senior colleagues.
Elsewhere, fifth placed Bishopstone will host defending champions Beitbridge Juicing at Muchato on Sunday.
Bishopstone currently sit fifth on the table with 27 points, while Beitbridge Juicing occupy sixth position with 24 points.
At Cawood Grounds, Cawood will take on Siyaso in another weekend fixture. Cawood are rooted at the bottom of the standings with seven points, while Siyaso sit second from bottom with 12 points.
