The Trojans are currently in fourth place in the south division standings with a 14-7 win-loss card.

On the other hand, the Lapu-Lapu Naki Warriors (7-14), who are seventh in the standings, will push pawns versus the bottom-ranked and winless Olongapo Rainbow Team 7 (0-21) and the No. 2 team in the north division, the Manila Indios (18-3).
