Ligue 1 continues its 23rd round of matches this weekend. The Dakar derby between US Gorée (2nd, 39 pts) and Jaraaf (8th, 26 pts) will be the highlight of the weekend. It promises to be an interesting encounter between two rivals eager to finish the season on the podium.

League leaders AJEL of Rufisque (1st, 43 pts) visit Dakar Sacré-Cœur (13th, 22 pts). The Rufisque side, fresh off a victory against US Ouakam, will be aiming for a second consecutive win to maintain their lead over US Gorée. Teungueth FC (3rd, 36 pts) travel to face their Lebou neighbors, AS Cambérène (16th, 17 pts).

Having been painfully eliminated from the Senegal Cup, the Rufisque club will have to react against the bottom-ranked team in the league.

At the Ngor municipal stadium, US Ouakam (7th, 29 pts) hosts Wallydaan of Thiès (4th, 34 pts). The Thiès team aims for a third consecutive victory to continue putting pressure on the top of the standings.

At the Djibril Diagne Stadium in Déni Biram Ndao, Génération Foot (5th, 30 pts) hosts Sonacos of Diourbel. The Academicians, led by the league's top scorer Abdourahmane Mbodj (11 goals), will be looking to secure a second consecutive home victory against a Sonacos side battling to avoid relegation.

At the Aline Sitoé Diatta Stadium, Casa Sports (6th, 30 pts) hosts Guédiawaye FC (11th, 22 pts). The Ziguinchor team, winners of their Senegalese Cup quarter-final against EJ Fatick (2-0), are looking to take all three points to continue putting pressure on the top teams.

In the other half of the table, Linguère de Saint-Louis (14th, 20 pts) hosts AS Pikine (9th, 27 pts). The Saint-Louis side, defeated in Diourbel by Sonacos in the previous matchday (2-0), cannot afford to slip up in front of their home crowd.

Finally, at their municipal stadium, ASC HLM (12th, 22 pts) hosts Stade de Mbour (10th, 23 pts) in a relegation battle. Both teams, fighting to avoid relegation, desperately need points to distance themselves from the drop zone.
