Second away game in a row

The team visits one of the most demanding courts against the best offensive team in the category (Saturday, 8 p.m.)

First Team | Friday, 10 April 2026

Bàsquet Girona faces one of the most demanding trips of the calendar on this matchday 26. After an important victory on the Covirán Granada court (84-91) that has allowed them to stand with a balance of 12 wins and 13 losses , the Girona team has a mission that will not be easy at all: Santiago Martín is a stronghold where La Laguna Tenerife has been almost intractable this season. The Canaries arrive injured after a tight defeat on the Hiopos Lleida court (103-101), but with the confidence of having recently broken their collective rating record of the season (130 credits), demonstrating a fearsome offensive potential led by the old guard of Marcelinho Huertas , Gio Shermadini and Patty Mills, the new acquisition of the island gear.

The key to the match will be the control of the rhythm and the defense on the blocking and continuation of Tenerife. Tenerife is currently one of the best teams in the league in ball circulation, with Huertas who continues to be the highest assister in the competition (6.0 on average). On the other hand, Girona will have to take advantage of their physical energy and the outside accuracy of players like Derek Needham (13.4 points in the last 3 matches) or the solidity of their interior in the paint to punish the rival. In the precedent of the first round in Fontajau, Tenerife took the victory (89-96), which forces Moncho Fernández’s men to touch defensive perfection if they want to return from the island with a positive result that consolidates them in the middle-upper zone of the classification.
