Indeni vs. Nchanga Rangers (Indeni Complex, 15:00)
Indeni, struggling in 18th place with just 2 points, were defeated 2-1 by Green Eagles in Week 12. They will be looking for a much-needed win against Nchanga Rangers, who secured a 1-0 win over Red Arrows in Week 12.

Red Arrows, currently in 8th place with 18 points, suffered a 1-0 loss to Nchanga Rangers in Week 12, a setback that will motivate them to bounce back. Their focus will be on finding their attacking rhythm and securing a win at home. Mufulira Wanderers, in 15th place with 12 points, had a tough 0-0 draw against Athletico Lusaka in Week 12. They will need to improve their offensive output and take advantage of any weaknesses in the Red Arrows defense.
