The Flying Titans guns for a sixth straight victory in their 6 p.m. confrontation with the Petro Gazz Angels, while the HD Spikers aim to stretch their winning streak to five games when they clash with the F2 Logistics Cargo Movers.

Nxled (2-5) likewise tries to follow up its morale-boosting 22-25, 25-17, 25-23, 25-16 triumph over Akari last Tuesday, Nov. 14, when it faces skidding Galeries Tower (0-6) at 2 p.m.

Toting a 5-1 win-loss record, another win for Choco Mucho would tie them with Chery Tiggo at second place and put them half a game behind pacesetter Creamline (6-0).

But the Flying Titans are expected to be wary of the Angels, who aim to snap a three-game losing skein that put them at 4-3 in the middle standings.

With Des Cheng sidelined with an ACL tear, Choco Mucho coach Dante Alinsunurin pins his hopes on Isa Molde, Maddie Madayag, Sisi Rondina and Kat Tolentino to deliver and challenge the Petro Gazz frontline of Grethcel Soltones, Remy Palma, Jonah Sabete and Aiza Pontillas.

Meanwhile, Cignal also hopes to sustain its momentum to improve its 5-2 card with Vanie Gandler and Ces Molina expected to lead the charger after the duo sizzled with 23 and 17 points the last time.

But F2 Logistics would not get intimidated as it tries to bounce back from a 25-19, 25-21, 25-16 loss over Creamline the other day that put them at 4-3.
