Both group A games will simultaneously be played at 4 pm at two different venues. Big Bullets will be playing Atlabara at the Azam Complex as Express take on Young Africans at the Benjamin Mkapa Stadium.
The top two placed teams in group A will be joined by the two best teams in Group B in the semi-finals.
The Red Eagles need only a point from their last group game to seal a place in the last four, regardless of any result from the other group A clash.
After winning their opening game against Atlabara, Express would have sealed qualification with a win against Nyasa Bullets but gave up three points to settle for one.
After the Wednesday game, The Red Eagles on Thursday and Friday had recovery with light training sessions at the Uhuru stadium ahead of their encounter on Saturday.
Going into matchday three, Express tops group A with four points from two games in which they won one and drew the other. In second place is Nyasa Big Bullets after drawing both their games to collect two points.
Young Africans sit third on the group with two points, level with Big Bullets, but with a weaker goal margin. Atlabara lies bottom of the group having managed only a point from two games. They drew with Young Africans after losing to Express.
Express still stand a chance of qualification even if they lose against Young Africans should Atlabara beat Big Bullets on Saturday.
Express head coach Wasswa Bbosa rarely changes his starting team after acceptable results, and he is expected to line up familiar faces from the first two games for the third time.
Besides assistant captain Abel Etrude who is completing his suspension after the first game red card, Bbosa has many other options from the other 19 players he travelled with to Dar es Salaam.
