Match is at 4 p.m. with the Cool Smashers gunning for their sixth straight victory in as many games.

Cignal and PLDT, two teams that are coming off contrasting fortunes recently, raise the curtain at 4:30 p.m.

The HD Spikers, who tote a 5-1 card, aim for a follow-up of their three-set triumph against the Galeries Tower Highrisers last week, while the High Speed Hitters seek to brush off their bruised knees from a stinging four-set loss to the Choco Mucho Flying Titans last Thursday, Jan. 23.

Creamline has been on a rampage since the start of the conference and appears not to be slowing down particularly in its latest three-set conquest with Capital1.

Its depth and cohesion remained evident, with everyone contributing a little of everything in that one-and-a-half hour contest.

Still, the Cool Smashers are banking on Jema Galanza and Tots Carlos to carry their fight against the hungry Chameleons seeking to end their seven-game slump.

Out of those seven matches, Nxled only managed to win four sets while losing 21.

The Chameleons, however, are not losing hope to finally break from that losing spell with Chiara Permentilla, Lucille Almonte and Lycha Ebon in front of their assault.

The trio combined for 44 points in their last game against Akari, where it failed to sustain its hot start after claiming the first set and bowed in four frames.
