Games Tuesday
(PhilSports Arena)
1 p.m. — Akari vs Cignal
3 p.m. — Capital1 vs ZUS
5 p.m. — Choco Mucho vs Petro Gazz
CIGNAL and Akari aim to stay unbeaten and atop Pool B as they face off even as Capital1 Solar hopes to keep its fairy tale run going versus ZUS Coffee in Tuesday’s Premier Volleyball League (PVL) Reinforced Conference at the PhilSports Arena.
Unscathed in four outings, the HD Spikers and the Chargers get to finally test each other’s mettle at 1 p.m. with the winner claiming solo No. 1 in their bracket and enter the second round in high spirits.
Cignal has been tipped as the prohibitive favorite after slaying two-time Reinforced Conference titlist Petroo Gazz, 25-22, 25-19, 25-19, Thursday while Akari was not bad itself after having hurdled ZUS, 25-23, 25-15, 25-18, the same day.
But after their much-anticipated encounter, there will only be one staying unbeaten.
The Solar Spikers, for their part, seek to sustain their giant-slaying ways after improving to 2-2 following a stunning 13-25, 25-21, 18-25, 25-20, 15-13 triumph over this year’s All-Filipino Conference runners up in the Choco Mucho Flying Titans Thursday.
Meanwhile, Choco Mucho (1-3) tackles Petro Gazz (1-3) at 5 p.m. — Joey Villar
