Heading to Gran Canaria without a break

Spar Girona | Friday, 12 December 2025

With almost no time to rest or train, Spar Girona faces another demanding trip to the LF Endesa with a visit to the Spar Gran Canaria court, on matchday 11 of the championship. The team arrives at the match in good form after victories against IDK Euskotren (71–60) and in the Euroleague Women against Famila Schio (81–72) .

About the opponent

Spar Gran Canaria occupies the penultimate position in the league with a record of 2 wins and 8 losses, but they are one of the most offensively productive teams in the competition, with 73.1 points per game and good outside shooting (30.2% in three-pointers).

Clàudia Contell is the great reference on the outside line, with 16.6 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.3 assists and a rating of 16.1, while Cierra Dillard contributes 10 points and a 40% accuracy from 6.75. Inside, Axelle Merceron is consolidating herself as one of the most decisive players of the Canarian team, with averages of 20.5 points, 8.5 rebounds and a rating of 27, and Richardson adds 11.1 points per game.

They arrive at the match after losing to Valencia Basket (83–66), but having previously beaten Araski at home (77–83). “It’s a team that a month ago changed quite a few players and the face of the team. They have won two of the three matches. We will have to do very well again. Adapt in terms of physical issues and compete very well. Don’t look at where they are in the standings, but at their dynamics, which are good. The matches in Gran Canaria are always complicated matches,” commented Íñiguez in the preview.

The Spar Girona

The Girona team arrives at a good time, after a full weekend with a victory in the league against IDK Euskotren and a big win in Europe against Famila Schio. The team faces the trip to La Paterna with the desire to maintain the solidity shown in recent days. That said, Íñiguez has made it clear that “we will see if Klara can help us in some part of the game. After the game against Schio we had some injuries. We have some players affected and maybe we will have some injuries”.

“I’m worried that we have some problem in every match and that means we can’t grow as I would like. I can only congratulate the players for how they compete every day, but when you can’t work as you should, you think that by winning you cover everything up until a team comes and takes you off the court. That’s what worries me now,” Roberto highlighted.
