Pride went down to Eastern Suburbs at English Park on Saturday, before Coastal lost by the same margin to Napier City Rovers on Sunday.
It means if they have any hope of finishing in the top two of their respective competitions, they must win this weekend.
The Pride take on Central Football on Saturday and Coastal visit Birkenhead United on Sunday.
Pride are fifth in the women’s competition, five points off the top two while in the men’s competition Coastal are down in sixth – but only three points shy of second place.
Cashmere Technical’s 4-3 loss to Western Springs saw them slip to eighth in the men’s competition, now mathematically out of the running for the final.
Coastal Spirit captain Joe Hoole said the team would fight until the end.
"Although we lost, we’ve still got a lot of belief within the group that we can still go and achieve something a little bit more this season, so very much looking forward to it (the Birkenhead match).”
Pride head coach Shane Verma said he wasn’t losing hope.
"You got to always be optimistic, right?
"We’ve got to do our end of the business and perform well in the next two games, but we also need a little bit of luck to go our way to make the top-two.”
It is Coastal’s first season in the men’s National League while Pride last won the women’s competition in 2020.
