The Rizal Xentromall Golden Coolers will try to sustain their recovery when they tackle the Valenzuela Classics on Wednesday at the Ynares Center Montalban in Rizal Province as the Manny Pacquiao presents 1xBet-MPBL 2025 Season resumes.
Other elimination round games pit Bacolod against Caloocan at 4 p.m. and rising Bataan against slumping Pasig at 6 p.m.
After suffering three straight defeats, the Golden Coolers have won their last two to climb to 7-3 and boost their bid for a playoff spot in the two-division, 30-team tournament.
Powered by Michael Canete, Alwyn Alday, Marco Balagtas, Eric Camson and Keanu Caballero, the Golden Coolers are favored over the Classics, who have lost their last three and are mired at 3-7.
Having won four of their last four games en route to a 5-6 card, the Risers are picked over the Pasiguenos, who are on a five-game slid after winning their first two.
Hubert Cani, Yves Sazon, Mitchelle Mayness, Laurenz Capulong, Rhinwill Yambing and Robbi Darang will lead the Risers.
Despite their roller-coaster ride and 6-4 record, the Batang Kankaloo enjoy the edge over the 2-5 Bacolod Tubo Slashers, composed mainly of homegrown talents.
