St George take on Arbaminch City with a chance to go 6 points clear of their rivals, Bahir Dar City before the "Tana Waves" take to the pitch a day later.
"The Horsemen have been feeling the heat this past few weeks as both Bahir Dar and Ethiopian Insurance have been chasing them down every week with impressive results.
Now they have a chance to set the tone once again against an Arbaminch City side that's capable of both the sublime and the ridiculous.
Arbaminch City have managed just one win in their last 5 games with 2 draws and 2 defeats, and they lie 13th, just one place above the relegation positions and this makes them dangerous.
However, Ismail Ouro-Agoro, St George's Togolese Striker has been a man on fire with his penchant for scoring important goals in difficult games.
Hawassa City saw their recent rise curtailed by Dire Dawa City in the last round, a result that didn't quite make too much of a dent in their pride or place.
Their star Striker, Mujib Kassim will want to have a say on the outcome of this tie especially because he was at the centre of everything good that Fasil achieved in the last two seasons.
Fasil City seem to struggle with goalscoring this season which necessitated the move to sign Osei Mawuli from Bahir Dar City.
In the last week, they needed their long-standing wingback, Shemekit Gugsa to step up to convert from the spot to keep Hawassa City still in 4th place.
Fasil are in 7th on 27 points, same as Ethiopia Coffee in 6th, and they will hope that their returning striker, Osei Mawuli finds the motivation to outshine another former Fasil hero in Mujib Kassim.
