The FIATC Girona, in Fontajau
The Girona team comes into the match after having achieved their first victory of the season on the opening day against UCAM Murcia. In the preview, Moncho Fernández pointed out that it is still early to establish patterns depending on whether the team plays at home or away, and placed the keys in aspects such as defensive performance and turnovers.
Regarding Pep’s injury, the coach regretted the player’s absence and the difficulties it poses for the team, which already had problems in this position due to Maxi’s absence: “It’s sad news for us and for Pep. We already had problems in this position without Maxi and now we lose Pep. It hurts us.”
