As the curtain falls on the Botswana Premier League (BPL) season tomorrow and with the relegation and champions' spot decided, attention turns to three teams battling to break into the top eight.

Jwaneng Galaxy will officially lift the trophy tomorrow while Extension Gunners, Mogoditshane Fighters and Prisons XI have exited the Premier League. Sua Flamingoes currently hold position eight but three teams, Police XI, BDF XI, and Nico United could snatch the place on the last day.

Mathematically, Police XI can go as high as position seven, but it looks unlikely they will displace Masitaoka who have a superior goal difference. Nico are placed 11th with 36 points and face a Township Rollers that has had an underwhelming season.
