Slated at the Philsports Arena in Pasig City, Chery Tiggo clashes with Nxled at 4 p.m., while Capital1 collides with Cignal at 6:30 p.m. in the play-in tournament for the six losing teams in the previous round staking outright quarters tickets.

The other two squads are Farm Fresh and ZUS Coffee.

In the said play-in phase, the six teams are divided into two pools where they would play a single-round robin series. The two teams will advance to the quarters, joining Creamline, Petro Gazz, Choco Mucho, PLDT, Akari and Galeries Tower.

The Pool A winner will take on Petro Gazz, while the Pool B top finisher will battle powerhouse Creamline in a best-of-three quarterfinal showdown.

Pool A comprises Cignal, ZUS Coffee and Capital1, while Pool B has Farm Fresh Chery Tiggo and Nxled.

Still nursing a stunning four-set loss to lower-ranked Galeries Tower for the outright quarters seat, Cignal hopes to recuperate and regain its old form this time with Vanie Gandler, Ishie Lalongisip and Jackie Acuña forming its offensive core.

But Capital1, which bowed to Petro Gazz in straight sets, seeks for that elusive victory as it is expected to parade promising rookie Leila Cruz and Jorelle Singh. The Solar Spikers, however, must step up their game on all fronts as the HD Spikers boasts of two bronze-medal finishes in the All-Filipino.

Likewise, every match is crucial for both Chery Tiggo and Nxled after yielding in straight sets against Choco Mucho and Creamline, respectively.

Ara Galang, Ces Robles, Aby Maraño and Shaya Adorador are expected to attempt to impose their will against the unpredictable Chameleons headed by Chiara Permentilla, EJ Laure and Krich Macaslang.
