Magnolia will win with this one that's for sure . I'm not disregarding Phoenix but with how they played the whole conference, I believe that they will win with this although.
That's what the majority thinks but it doesn't guarantee that they will win. We have to understand that Phoenix also has a good import and good local players, maybe Magnolia is the better team but if Wright will produce at the right time, then we might see a do or die in this series.
let's wait for the betting odds, I believe Magnolia will be the heavy favorite here so it's nice to take the risk and maybe an upset would happen in game 1.
No guarantee at all, and the possibilities of upset always happen inside PBA, we never know how the preparation Phoenix have after beating NP, if the morale still high from each players of Phoenix the chance of having that same energy and forcing this to a game deciding series. Though on the other hand, well-rested magnolia have enough time to practice and discuss everything regarding to their next game.
No doubt that Magnolia, being the op seeder, will be the favorite to win this match.
Also, if you have time to bet during a live game, sometimes Magnolia wins the game coming from behind. Better odd
for them while the opponent is still leading.
