The McBookie.com Premier League match of the weekend takes place on Friday – when leaders Culter travel to Ian Mair Park to face Dyce.
The hosts are third and 12 points off the pace set by Lee Youngson’s side, and victory for the visitors would see them move eight points clear of Hermes, who are on cup duty this weekend.
Dyce v Culter gets under way at 7.45pm.
On Saturday, the focus switches to the third round of the Quest Engineering Cup with the surviving north clubs up against their Tayside counterparts, bidding for a place in the last eight.
