The Flying Titans square off with the United Auctioneers-Army Lady Troopers at 2:30 p.m. while the Cargo Movers collide with early semifinalists Creamline Cool Smashers at 5:30 p.m.

Creamline and Chery Tiggo booked the first two semis berths with 5-0 and 5-1 cards, respectively, leaving the race for the last two Final Four spots wide open.

F2 Logistics currently sits at the middle standings with a 2-2 mark with Choco Mucho not far behind with a 2-3 record.

The Flying Titans appear to have a lighter task as they face the struggling Lady Troopers, who are buried down the cellar with a 0-5 mark.

But Choco Mucho cannot afford to take anyone lightly as it pins its hopes on Odina Aliyeva, who erupted for 26 points in the team’s stinging five-set loss to Akari Chargers last week.

Also fueling the Flying Titans are Bea De Leon, Kat Tolentino and Deanna Wong.

Army, meanwhile, is determined to snap its losing spell with Laura Condotta, and Jovelyn Gonzaga at the frontline of its attack.

Meanwhile, F2 Logistics guns for its third straight win following victories over Army and PLDT with Lindsay Stalzer, Kim Dy, Aby Maraño and Dawn Macandili leading the charge.

But expect a tough match against Creamline, which is fresh from a morale boosting four-set win over fancied Chery Tiggo last Saturday.

Leading Creamline are Yeliz Basa, Jema Galanza, Ced Domingo and Jeanette Panaga.
