MANILA, Philippines — Petro Gazz and Creamline will try to finish off PLDT and F2 Logistics, respectively, at the SM Mall of Asia Arena today hoping to seal a highly anticipated clash for the Premier Volleyball League All-Filipino crown.
The Angels and the Cool Smashers matched four-set victories in the opener of their respective best-of-three semifinal series over the weekend as they moved a win away each from advancing to the final and extending their rivalry.
Petro Gazz, then bannered by Myla Pablo, stunned the highly-fancied Creamline in the Reinforced Conference in 2019. But the Cool Smashers got back at the Angels right in the next Open conference.
They faced off again in the All-Filipino, then the Open, last year with Creamline still prevailing.
But PLDT and F2 Logistics will surely come in armed with a different mindset and key adjustments needed to keep them in the hunt for a title breakthrough in the league organized by Sports Vision.
“PLDT is a really great team. But great teams will just push us forward,” said Petro Gazz coach Oliver Almadro.
