Top of Div I clash in lone Saturday Ang Liga match

Just a single match-up is on tap for the Ang Liga tournament today, featuring a matchup involving the top two teams of Div I.

National University is seeking to end Lyceum's current four-match winning streak and retake control atop their division at 7am this morning at the Gatorade-Blue Pitch in Makati.

The Bulldogs currently have 11 points, just a point behind the Pirates in second place. Do keep in mind that the latter has a game in hand to the former, which has only won once in their last four matches. The side of Mari Aberasturi are coming off a scoreless draw against UE a week ago at the field inside the San Beda campus in Mendiola. In contrast, Popoy Clarino's squad are fresh from a 3-0 win over EAC almost a couple of weeks ago at the field inside La Salle-Canlubang.

Both teams tout their offensive capabilities, having scored a combined 29 goals so far in this tournament, coming from 19 different players. Only the idle UP Maroons have scored more as a unit. In addition, both have also dispatch their intra-league opposition, with NU issuing shutouts against EAC and Perpetual, while Lyceum has beaten UP and UST.
