The regular season has concluded with both Sandá CB L'Hospitalet and CB Navàs securing third place in their respective groups, a fact that foreshadows a very balanced confrontation. The coaching staff of the L'Hospitalet team has highlighted the strength of their opponent, describing them as a reliable team that excels in all aspects of the game, which suggests a match that will be contested until the very last minute.
“"Navàs is a very recognizable team. We have watched many games and know their strengths: offensive rebounding – they are among the best teams in the category in this aspect. Their open-court play is also very dangerous."
The L'Hospitalet players have utilized the two weeks without competition to recover their strength and personnel. The team arrives with great confidence, fully aware that the outcome of these forty minutes could define a significant part of their season. Despite the confirmed absence of one of their players, the rest of the squad is in good physical and mental condition, eager to face Saturday's game.
“"Physically we are in good shape, it is true that we have the confirmed absence of Toni Vicens, but the other 10 are fine. I believe we arrive well, mentally well, and the players know what is at stake and are very much looking forward to Saturday."
Although many consider CB L'Hospitalet to be the favorite due to playing at home, the coaching staff does not shy away from the pressure and naturally accepts this role. Should they overcome this first playoff round, Club Bàsquet L'Hospitalet would then face the loser of the match between CB Mollerussa and CB Prat as visitors in the next round.
