BAXI Manresa and its people want to surprise on the track of a team

A close trip in the month of November with only one game in the Nou Congost. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why hundreds of fans from Manresa will support the team this Saturday in Andorra. In front, a rival who, despite being a recent promotion, has experience and talent to spare.

BAXI Manresa will look for their fifth victory of the season on the difficult track of MoraBanc Andorra, in a match that will start at 18:00 and will be broadcast live by Movistar+ Deportes 2 and Ràdio Manresa. Pedro Martínez will be able to count on the entire squad with the exception of the long-term absences of Guillem Jou and Juampi Vaulet. The Bagencs will not be alone in the Principality, as up to more than 300 members of the #RedTide will travel to Andorra to support the team.

The Andorrans, despite being a team that has just been promoted to the Endesa League, is a team with a lot of talent that has the same record as the Manresans, with four wins and four defeats. MoraBanc, led by Natxo Lezkano and with ex-Manresa Paco Vázquez as assistant, has Marin Maric, Markel Starks, Stan Okoye, Jean Montero and Tyson Pérez and Jerrick Harding (the last two with past in Manresa) as outstanding players. On the Bagenc side, Dani Pérez and Pierre Oriola will face their former team.

In the pre-match press conference, Pedro Martínez explained that «is a team; in the position of 1 and 2, it's a festival they have, and inside they have Maric who is incredible and Tyson Pérez in full form; we hope to compete better than we did last week; Harding is a very difficult player to defend but we haven't seen him play much yet, it's such a good team that we can't focus on one player; it will be a match with a good preview for the fans, then hopefully we can celebrate the victory with our fans, it's nice to have them close and that they believe we can win and go with excitement, we have to be at the his height».
