BAXI Manresa receives a threatening Breogán in the Nou Congost

After achieving the tenth victory of the season in Palencia, BAXI Manresa returns to Congost, where Pedro Martínez's team receives Río Breogán in good dynamics. The match will start on Saturday at 8:45 p.m. (M+ Deportes 2 and Ràdio Manresa). This week Pierre Oriola was injured and will have to recover from a hamstring injury.

The Nou Congost will be the setting this Saturday night for a new day and, therefore, a new opportunity for BAXI Manresa to get closer to the season's objectives. The first is permanence, and Pedro Martínez's team is close. With 12 wins, it could be achieved virtually. He will have to try but with the loss of Pierre Oriola, who this week suffered a partial rupture of the insertional joint tendon (in the right hamstring). Guillem Jou continues to recover from his back injury.

Río Breogán arrives in Manresa with the aim of taking another step forward in a fight for permanence in which many teams are involved. In the last three days they have added two vital wins at home against direct rivals such as Coviran Granada and Bàsquet Girona and dominated for just over 27 minutes on the complicated Valencia Basket court. The two most valued players of the team led by Veljko Mrsic are two ex-Manresans: Sergi García and Martynas Sajus. In addition, a few days ago they incorporated Jordan Sakho, another old man known to the Bages fans.

In the pre-match press conference, Pedro Martínez explained that “we must overcome the injury situation with the strength of the team; Breogán has won 2 of the last 3 games and what has lost is the one that has played the best; They have signed a good American player with a very good level; They play very well and have very clear ideas and are in the best moment of the season, with a tendency to go upwards; Last year we lost 36 points with them and it's also good to remember that."*
