The two coaches will be hoping to spur their sides onto victory, and continue their push for a spot in the finals.
"We're not taking Narrandera lightly, that's for sure," women's coach Josh Clyne said.
"We really need to win to keep our chances of playing in the finals alive."
The same words rang true for men's coach Ty Fletcher, who has seen only one win in four rounds of MIA action.
"If we do all the small things right, limit our turnovers and make open shots, we should be alright," Fletcher explained.
"We'd also like to knock off West Wyalong in our last game, just to give us a bit of confidence going into the finals series."
West Wyalong have been one of the teams to beat this season, collecting wins in 66 percent of their matches across both divisions.
But Leeton can hold their heads high moving into their next match-up against them. The ladies bested them in round three 59 to 51.
Both of the Eagles outfits will be featuring near full-strength squads against Narrandera on Saturday, with only a few absent from the female side.
However, squad depth has played a key role in helping Josh Clyne record results. His team has seen two wins and two losses over the past four rounds.
"We've got a really good bunch of girls this year, they're pretty tight-knit and all prepared to work hard," Clyne said.
Now, the results will fall on the Eagles' shoulders across both divisions. This weekend plays an important part in deciding who makes finals. Narrandera have struggled to find their feet this season, so both Fletcher and Clyne will hope to capitalise on that.
