BAXI Manresa is looking for a positive balance in the Endesa League in Seville
After starting with a defeat and a victory, Pedro Martínez's team will seek to unbalance the balance in their favour. Guillem Jou and Babatunde Olumuyiwa will continue to be on leave
After a 6-day trip that took the team to Granada and Limoges, BAXI Manresa leaves this Friday afternoon for Seville to play matchday 3 of the Endesa League, Saturday at 18:00 (M+ Sports 3). He will do it even without Olumuyiwa and Jou, who will be out for some time due to their injuries.
BAXI Manresa is trying to find its way at the start of the season, despite the obvious difficulties that have limited the team in the form of injuries. A home defeat, an away win, but always good competitive spirit from Pedro Martínez's players. Neither Jou nor Olumuyiwa are traveling, but the team will do their best to find a way to fight with the opposition for the win.
Real Betis, led by old acquaintance Luis Casimiro, confirmed this week the absence of Pablo Almazán for Saturday's game. The green-and-white team keeps last season's shocker, Shannon Evans, but has incorporated other men such as Jeremiah Hill, Rodions Kurucs, Yannick Nzosa, Amar Sylla, Georgios Tsalmpouris or Volodymyr Gerun. Other well-known fans from Manresa such as Eulis Báez or Aleksandar Cvetkovic are still in Casimiro's team.
Pedro Martínez appeared today after training. The 'coach' from Manresa explained that "Betis has maintained the base of the team that made a fantastic end of the season with Luis Casimiro, they saved themselves without suffering much and beat us; they have had the ability to renew players and have signed players who are very good; it will be a difficult game, but we are more worried about us than about them".
