The Spar Girona
The Girona team face the match after losing against Famila Schio in European competition during the week, but with good feelings in the Women’s League, where they have just beaten Kutxabank Araski. With a record of 15-2, Roberto Íñiguez’s team remains in second place in the standings.

Roberto Íñiguez explained that he “expects a team that has changed coaches and staff”, highlighting that “they have gained more energy with the change, as usually happens when there is a change”. The coach noted that the opponent “has had all week to prepare for the match and get to know us” and that “they will come with the match well prepared”. However, Íñiguez assured that he “has a lot of confidence in the team” and added that “when everyone is negative, that is when he sees the team at its best”, showing himself convinced that “they will do a lot of good things”.
