Spar Girona | Friday, 06 February 2026

Spar Girona resumes its domestic competition with a demanding trip to Leganés. The team arrives at this event after a long journey from Istanbul, where they competed against Galatasaray ( 67-57 ) in the closing stages of the EuroLeague .

The feelings in the LF Endesa continue to be very positive after the last victory in Fontajau against Estepona ( 88-62 ), and the Girona team is now looking to add a new victory to continue reinforcing their great balance of 17 wins and only 2 defeats at the top of the standings.

About the opponent

Leganés has become the big revelation team this season. Despite being newly promoted, the Madrid team occupies seventh position with a record of 10 wins and 9 losses, a performance that has allowed them to seal their qualification for the 2026 Copa de la Reina. They arrive at a good time: on the last day they competed until the end on the Perfumerías Avenida court ( 71-68 ) and, in their last duel at home, they beat Gernika ( 74-66 ).

It is a very balanced block with a great interior game. Its reference is Sangare, who stands out with 12.5 points and 9.5 rebounds per game. He is accompanied by Dodson (11.7 points and 7.2 rebounds) and Herlihy (9.9 points), forming a very solid paint. On the perimeter, the leadership of Driessen (9.4 points) and the contribution of Dudasova (9.1 points) complete a very competitive group.

Roberto Íñiguez explained that “we have to compete as best as possible knowing that we are playing against the league’s revelation team. They are doing an admirable job. A very warrior team that knows how to attack aggressive defenses. They are solid at the back and have perseverance in the game. They competed against Avenida in a wonderful way. We play Leganés taking all these things into account. It will be a very tough match. They are strong and confident at home.”
