The BAXI Manresa visits a court that is traditionally very difficult
The reds want to add their 17th victory and continue in the fight for the play-offs against Monbus Obradoiro this Saturday (6:00 p.m.) on a field that has always been very difficult.
BAXI Manresa, who have won the last 5 games away from Nou Congost, will seek to win again after being defeated by the current leader, Unicaja. They will try it on a difficult court for Bages, who have lost in the last four visits.
Pedro Martínez will have to decide which player is ruled out for matchday 29. BAXI Manresa wants to recover the thread of victory and the good streak they had before losing at the Nou Congost against Unicaja, which has become the leader of the competition. After the rivals at the top of the standings, it is now time to deal with a team that is fighting for permanence and that makes them dangerous and needy.
Monbus Obradoiro is looking for a key victory to continue fighting for permanence. The Galicians are in 17th position in the standings, in the relegation zone, with a balance of 7 wins and 21 losses. Obradoiro has only won 1 of its last 13 games, the Galician derby against Breogán. Artem Pustovyi, Thomas Scrubb and Jordan Howard are three of the most outstanding players in the squad led by Moncho Fernández.
In the press conference prior to the match, Pedro Martínez explained that «Obradoiro is in a situation of need and I would prefer that they were not in this situation, they have had many changes but they have found a team that is very good and they lack time so that the new ones are involved; lately they are playing well; It is a team that we are not good at on their court, they have a basketball that makes you feel uncomfortable, they work on the games with scouting and we will have to play a very good game to be able to win».
