Orange needs everything to go right in order to reach as far up the ladder as it can, with the side sitting second last on the WZPL ladder ahead of Sunday's match with Cowra.
The game has already been moved from Holman Oval to Wade Park due to wet weather.
Sunday's game is the second-last game for the WZPL season, with the bluebaggers currently sitting second-last on the table.
Em Morrish's men will take on winless Cowra, the only side below them on the ladder, and need to have other results fall their way and claim victory over Midwest on February 2 to have any chance of dislodging Dubbo from second spot on the ladder.
Cowra has lost to Midwest, Parkes and Bathurst so far in the 2019-20 competition.
Bathirst will take on Midwest when the side travels to Victoria Park in Mudgee on Sunday while Dubbo and Parkes will clash at Woodward Oval in Parkes.
