The head-to-head record offers a single data point: Valenzuela City Darkhorse won 90-83 in Quezon City on 14 May 2026. Valenzuela won 90-83 there in May. That counts for something.

The model projects Valenzuela City Darkhorse to score 85.6 points and Quezon City 85. The difference is marginal — 0.6 points — but consistent with the model's slight lean toward the home side. The model gives no chance of a draw or both teams scoring.
