Tsholotsho are favourites to clinch the title and a victory against Hwange Juniors in Tsholotsho could seal their status as 2014 Southern Region champions.
“All the Zifa Southern Region Division One league matches will be played on Saturday,” Chinyangarara said. “We want to avoid a situation whereby teams end up selling away games.”
Tsholotsho are top of the log table with 51 points from 24 games and they will clash with Mpumalanga in their last encounter of the season.
If Tsholotsho win their last two games, they will end on 57 points.
They must win as a defeat could spell trouble if second-placed Technosphere win.
Technosphere are away to New West at Raylton Sports Club in Bulawayo.
Should Tsholotsho slip up by losing against Hwange Juniors and Mpumalanga and Technosphere win against New West and Plumtree Chiefs, they will lose the title.
Technosphere could end the season on 54 points if they win their last two games at the same time finishing second if Black Boots win the two matches.
