Venue: Ruaraka stadium
Sofapaka have had second leg to forget after a super start to the league.

Ulinzi Stars vs Bandari
Venue: Afraha
Ulinzi Stars play host the Dockers on the weekend .The soldiers who are ranked 2nd on the log are on course to hit the 60 point mark which has proved elusive in past campaigns and Matano is keen on adding that feat to his long list of achievements in local football circles. Bandari have done enough to finish their campaign in a respectable position but never really looked a side capable of competing with the league’s best.
