Expect an all-out battle from the two squads, especially PLDT, which is riding the crest of a three-game winning streak.
Fresh off a hard-earned five-set victory over the fancied Cool Smashers, the High Speed Hitters are expected to unleash another explosive performance, bannered by Savi Davison, Dell Palomata, Alleiah Malaluan, Kianna Dy and Kim Fajardo.
Davison said they are not taking their current status in the standings lightly.
“I mean, we still have a couple of tough teams to play. We have Choco Mucho, we have Farm Fresh, we have Galeries, and I think we have one more. But, I mean, just looking forward, I think we have to focus more on our side of the court. Regardless of who we play, I know that if we control the pace, if we play the way that we can, regardless of who's on the other side of the net, I feel like we're going to have a hard time,” said Davison.
The Foxies, however, are also coming off a morale-boosting five-set triumph over the ZUS Thunderbelles, with Trish Tubu, Ces Molina, Royse Tubino and Alohi Robins-Hardy out to set the stage for another fierce showdown.
Meanwhile, Galeries Tower and ZUS Coffee collide at 6 p.m. in another crucial showdown, with the Highrisers looking to build on their hard-earned five-set victory over the Chargers last week that improved their tally to 1-4.
The Thunderbelles, for their part, seeks to finally break into the win column after absorbing back-to-back heartbreaking five-set losses to Farm Fresh and Capital1 to plummet at 0-5.
