THE Castle Lager Premier Soccer League returns this week with a full round of midweek fixtures that could influence both the title race and the battle for survival.
The action begins on Tuesday at Rufaro Stadium, where Herentals host Manica Diamonds.
Manica Diamonds go into the match rooted in the relegation zone and in desperate need of points, while the Students will be aiming to make home advantage count and strengthen their position on the table.
The standout fixture on Wednesday sees FC Platinum host Dynamos at Mandava Stadium.
Defending champions Scottland will look to bounce back from their first defeat in 10 league matches when they face Bulawayo Chiefs at Rufaro Stadium after their loss to Highlanders at the weekend.
Highlanders travel to Nyamhunga Stadium to take on ZPC Kariba, while Chicken Inn host struggling TelOne at Luveve Stadium.
At Wadzanayi Stadium, Simba Bhora welcome MWOS in another key encounter.
Matchday 25 concludes on Thursday, with Triangle United hosting Ngezi Platinum Stars at Gibbo Stadium, Hardrock taking on Agama at Wadzanayi Stadium, and CAPS United entertaining FC Hunters at Rufaro Stadium.
