Kaya is coming off a 3-1 defeat to Global-Cebu at the Rizal Memorial for its first defeat in three matches, while JPV was handed a 1-0 loss by unbeaten leader Meralco-Manila exactly a week ago in Biñan.
Kaya is in third place with four points while JPV, which is playing home matches in different venues as the Marikina Sports Complex has yet to be completely refurbished, is in third at three points.

Meanwhile, Stallion and Ilocos have to yet to score a victory after two matches in the new league.
But Stallion is on a high after holding Global to a 1-all tie last Sunday at home. Matthew Nierras last-gasp equalizer enabled the pink-colored side to avoid defeat.
