PETRO Gazz and Chery Tiggo go flat out for a pair of crucial wins today but Akari and Choco Mucho seek reversals in an attempt to keep their backdoor bids alive as the sems race heats up in the Premier Volleyball League All Filipino Conference at the Philsports Arena in Pasig.
The Angels, coming off morale-boosting victories over the F2 Logistics Cargo Movers and the Army Lady Troopers for a 4-2 card, battle the Chargers at 4 p.m., with the latter staying in the hunt with a shock five-set upset over the Crossovers last weekend.
While Akari remained way behind the contenders at 2-4, a sweep of its last two games could earn the Chargers a crack at the last semis slot provided that two from PLDT, Petro Gazz and Chery Tiggo won’t go over four wins.
The last Final Four slot will be determined via a tiebreaker.
Given the Angels’ pair of three-set romps, the Chargers will need to outdo themselves to stop the former although they will still have the first semifinalists — the Creamline Cool Smashers — to contend with in their final eliminations match on March 14.
The Crossovers are hard-pressed not only to rebound from that stinging loss but also to foil a Choco Mucho side out to snap two straight losses that stymied their own semis drive.
