PASIG--In a potential finals preview, Caida and Cafe France-CEU battle it off for the right to remain unblemished in the PBA D-League Aspirants Cup at the Ynares Sports Arena on Thursday.
Currently tied with the Phoenix-FEU Accelerators at the top with identical 3-0 records, the Tile Masters and the Bakers will face each other at 4 p.m., right after the Tanduay-Wang's match at 2 p.m.
Both teams' coaches expressed positive feedback to each other for their leadership in bringing them to a share of the first spot of the league table.
"I think Caida is the team to beat this conference. Hopefully, the boys play a much better game para maka-compete kami sa kanila," said Cafe France coach Egay Macaraya.
"They're a champion team. They're experienced and they're really good. They know how to adjust. It's going to be a tough game," Caida mentor Caloy Garcia said on the other hand.
Meanwhile, the curtain-raiser features the Rhum Masters and the Couriers going for their second win plus a chance to tie the UP-QRS-JAM Fighting Maroons in fourth place.
