Union Mills relegation from the Canada Life Premier League can be finally confirmed on Saturday.
Defeat by rivals Colby a couple of weeks ago has left Neil Akkulugadu’s side clinging onto top-flight safety by their fingernails.
The Millers trail second-bottom Ramsey by eight points with three games left to play against Peel, high-flying Corinthians and Colby.
Mills need maximum points in all three matches and have to hope Ramsey don’t pick up anything from their final two fixtures against St Mary’s and Colby.
The Millers’ latest Great Escape bid faces the sizeable hurdle of a game at in-form Peel this weekend.
The westerners have won their last eight and will be keen to maintain their good form ahead of an FA Cup final showdown with St George’s on Easter Monday. Expect Peel to put the Millers out of their misery in this one.
Two late goals denied Ramsey the win that would have made them safe last week. The northerners host an out-of-sorts St Mary’s side at Ballacloan on Saturday in a game they might just get something out of.
The Saints have lost their last two and may be there for the taking in their final league game of the season.
The weekend’s other two top-flight games sees Douglas Athletic face St John’s at Mullen-e-Cloie on Friday evening, while champions St George’s round out their league campaign with a trip to near-neighbours DHSOB.
In JCK Division Two Foxdale’s Gold Cup qualification hopes should receive a timely boost when they host bottom side Michael United.
Dale have played several games less than most and need to get some points on the board.
Elsewhere, after securing promotion last time out, leaders Royal will be looking to add another three points to their title fund away at RYCOB.
Finally Marown and Douglas and District face off in Crosby, the hosts having triumphed 6-2 in the reverse fixture in February.
