BAXI Manresa wants to vindicate itself in the derby on the Joventut court
Manresa, who after the strike lost at home against UCAM Murcia, want to demonstrate against Joventut in a sweet moment that they are capable of winning on the court of a theoretically much more powerful team.
This Saturday afternoon (at 6:00 p.m. live on M+ Deportes 3) BAXI Manresa visits a nearby but very complicated track: Joventut de Badalona. La Penya has 2 more victories than Bages, thanks to a great streak in recent weeks. Juampi Vaulet is still out in a match where Manresa wants to show that it is not losing momentum compared to the teams in the first positions.
Pedro Martínez already knows which player he will have to rule out for this Saturday's game in Badalona. Juampi Vaulet is still out due to the fibrillar rupture that occurred last week. The rest will be the formation that will play on the Penya court. The red team wants to remain competitive and be able to have a game with a chance of victory after a narrow defeat at home against UCAM Murcia.
Joventut, directed by Carles Duran and with Daniel Miret and ex-manresano Aleix Duran as assistants, is in great shape. The green and black team have accumulated six consecutive victories in the Liga Endesa (they have not yet lost in the second round) and on Tuesday they won on the German Ulm court in the round of 16 of the Eurocup. Their most notable player is point guard Andrés Feliz, who is accompanied by men like Ante Tomic, Shannon Evans, Andrew Andrews and Guillem Vives. In the first round match, BAXI Manresa won 102-89.
The coach from Manresa Pedro Martínez said in the preview that “they have signed players who are very important and they have others who are already stars, they have a great team; We want to finish as high as possible and win the maximum number of games; With the arrival of Selom Mawugbe we are more fulfilled in the inner game and this helps us».
