They come into the round on 106.9 competition points, clear of Lancaster Park in second on 90.
The points mean that barring a calamitous loss against Sydenham for Burnside and a huge win for Park in their match against East Shirley, Burnside will be crowned champions again.
Captain Matt Hay said going back-to-back is an exciting prospect.
“We’ve worked really hard to put ourselves in this situation.
“We had a really good pre-season and then we’ve won five out of six outright and narrowly missed out against Lancaster Park on doing that, so we’re in a good position.”
Having already won the one-day competition, a second trophy this season would be rare for Burnside – they last won the double in 1992.
Hay said doing it again would mean a lot to the club.
“I know it’d be huge for the playing group, but there’s a lot of people at the club that put a lot of work in behind the scenes.
“I think it would be really rewarding and a massive achievement for everyone involved in the club.”
Standing in their way is Sydenham, who are unbeaten but have only won three games outright.
Lancaster Park will host sixth-placed East Shirley at St Albans Park and will be looking for a dominant win to give them as great a chance as possible of overhauling Burnside.
- Also on Saturday Old Boys host Heathcote at Elmwood Park, while bottom two Merivale-Papanui and St Albans battle it out at Edgar MacIntosh Park.
