Fourth-place Magnolia and bottom-place Meralco clash in their second Group B meeting of the 2026 PBA Governors' Cup. The Hotshots have won two of their last three games in the competition, while the Bolts have dropped each of their most recent three outings, leading us to favour a Magnolia Hotshots victory in our prediction.
After a narrow one-point defeat to Rain or Shine Elasto Painters, Magnolia roared back to winning ways by easing past reigning Commissioner’s Cup champions Barangay Ginebra San Miguel 88–73 in their last outing on Sunday.
That victory saw the Hotshots round off the first round of Group B's schedule on a strong note and lifted them to fourth in the standings with a 2–3 record. Notably, the two wins came in their last three outings, including an impressive 112–98 victory over Meralco Bolts in their first meeting.
Meanwhile, Meralco Bolts’ underwhelming recent run continued as they fell 85–83 to Rain or Shine Elasto Painters last time out. That defeat saw Luigi Trillo’s side suffer three losses on the bounce, dropping to the bottom of the standings.
Overall, they have lost four of their six games in the competition, including three of their last four encounters against Magnolia Hotshots across all conferences.
