The likes of Shooting Stars, Kwara United and Bayelsa United are safe.
Bottom team Lobi Stars and Sunshine Stars have already been relegated, but Akwa United and Heartland are still fighting for their top league lives today.
Interestingly, both teams clash on this final day as the likes of Niger Tornadoes, Katsina United and El Kanemi Warriors could be suck into the danger zone.

A home win for Heartland will not be enough for them to escape the dreaded drop as other results today would have to be in their favour.
The Owerri club will have to hope Niger Tornadoes fail to beat Kano Pillars, El Kanemi do not beat Sunshine Stars or Katsina United are not victorious in front of their fans against Kwara United.
Heartland are 17th on 45 points, Akwa United 16th having recorded 44 points, while El Kanemi are in 16th place with 46 points, Katsina United 15th on 47 points and Tornadoes have 48 points and in 14th position.
