Dundee United and Aberdeen meet at Tannadice with a fourth place finish the prize.
The hosts need to beat the Dons to draw level on points and go ahead of the visitors because their goal difference is superior.
However, both sides are in abysmal form going into this and look bereft of confidence.
United have nosedived since the split and have lost all four games after coming into it with three consecutive victories in a row.
Their midweek defeat at Rangers – after taking the lead – meant they have lost three of the four games by two goals and the other by a 5-0 crushing from Cetic.
They look the a team who cannot wait for the season to end, but they have some hope…they are playng Aberdeen.
If Dons fans thought their 4-0 battering at Rangers was pitiful, then the players asked them to hold their collective beer and produced an even bigger capitulation against Celtic.
A 5-1 home dismantling would have been bad enough but it was against a second string Celtic side on their holidays.
Jimmy Thelin's side look like the fight has gone out of them and they are a defensive shambles.
How the bookies view it: Layers still have faith in Dons.
Boylesports made the hosts 17/10 outsiders with Aberdeen 5/4 favouritesand the draw 12/5.
Recent head to heads: On a knife's edge
There have been three meetings this season between the sides and there has been a 1-0 home win apiece and a 2-2 draw at Pittodrie where Aberdeen had to come back from being two goals down.
United have won four of the last five meetings at Tannadice.
Players to watch: Papa the daddy
Sam Dalby is due a goal for United having gone five games without one. He won't get a better chance than against a timid Dons defence. He is 7/5 to score anytime with bet365.
Papa Gueye at least looked like he was trying against Celtic and he could be a key man for the Dons with Kevin Nisbet struggling. He is also 7/5 to score anytime with bet365.
Predicted line-ups:
Aberdeen have a doubt over top scorer Kevin Nisbet who hobbled off against Celtic in midweek. Kristers Tobers could return in defence. Alfie Dorrington is suspended.
United will reinstate keeper Jack Walton for Dave Richards.
Dundee United: Walton, Strain, Cleall-Harding, Gallagher, Ferry, Sevelj, Campbell, Docherty, Middleton, Dalby, Fotheringham.
Aberdeen: Mitov, Jensen, Dorrington, Knoester, Shinnie, Palaversa, Clarkson, Keskinen, Morris, Dabbagh, Gueye.
Anything else catch the eye?
Picking a winner here is not for the big hitters with both teams on a serious downward spiral.
But if it develops into a battle – and it very well might, given that fourth place and a far easier and more lucrative European path is at stake here – then it might be worth going for the value punt and backing United.
Aberdeen must be the weakest team in the top flight and there are serious questions about their mentality when they lose a goal.
It won't be a classic and both sides struggle to score goals too. Go for under 2.5 goals at 21/20 with Boylesports and don't be surprised if a single goal wins it too.
