University, who are fourth on the ladder, will take on second-placed Mungkas in a grudge match.
University, after their impressive performance over POMSOE, will go into the game as favourites.

The return of old hands Steven Mali and Ben Lakasa will boost University’s performance as they did last week.
With the presence of Felix Bondaluk, Reginald Davani and Harold Demo at flank, the boys from Waigani should give Mungkas a good run for their money.
Midfielder Lam Vincent and Andrew Marampau hold the key for Mungkas in this weekend’s game.
Competition leaders Yamaros might have trouble playing Cosmos.
Despite missing skipper Joshua Niebo, senior players Gary Moka, Nathaniel Lepani, Abraham Enoch and Fabian Bagi will see them leading the their team.
Cosmos under coach Joe Turia has been playing some good football but need to lift their performance on the day.

Gule will be seeking assistance from Richard Auram and Steven Mais to take on Spartans.
