The Dakar derby between Jaraaf, the reigning Senegalese champions, and US Gorée (15 pts), the current league leaders, will be the highlight of the 8th round of Ligue 1. The Medina club, which is coming off two consecutive victories, will try to inflict its great rival's first defeat of the season.

Still near the top of the table, Casa Sports (2nd, 13 pts) will travel to face Guédiawaye FC (16th, 1 pt). The suburban side, currently bottom of the league, can no longer afford a fifth consecutive defeat.

Third in the standings, AJEL of Rufisque (13 points) will host Dakar Sacré Cœur (8th ^, 10 points). The Rufisque team, coming off a convincing victory against US Ouakam, will be looking to confirm their form at home in front of their fans.

At the Ngalandou Diouf stadium, Teungueth FC (7th, 10 pts) will host AS Cambérène (11th, 7 pts). The Rufisque club, aiming for the top spots, will nevertheless have to be wary of the newly promoted side, who secured their first victory of the season in the previous matchday.

Meanwhile, AS Pikine will host Linguère of Saint-Louis at the Alassane Djigo stadium. Riding a wave of momentum, the Pikine side will try to secure a home victory against a Saint-Louis team struggling for form, coming off a home defeat.

At the Lat Dior stadium, Wallydaan (14th, 6 pts) will be looking to secure a second consecutive home victory against US Ouakam (10th, 7 pts).

Second to last in the standings, Génération Foot (5 pts) will make a perilous trip to Diourbel to face Sonacos (4th, 12 pts), who are coming off a great victory in Saint-Louis against Linguère.

Having lost last week to AS Cambérène, newly promoted Stade de Mbour will try to bounce back by hosting ASC HLM (12th, 6 pts), who are still looking for their first league win.
