Both teams arrive at this fixture with an identical record of seven wins and only one loss (7-1), making the clash a direct confrontation to break the tie before facing the last three matchdays of the second phase.
“"It is a great match to watch, a prize for the people, and we will try to make them proud of the team."
The game will be conditioned by the important absence of Mariam Coulibaly, the team's interior reference and leader in points and rebounds in Europe, who is suffering from an ankle injury. Coach Roberto Íñiguez stressed the need for “very choral work” to compensate for this loss.
Íñiguez highlighted the potential of the Turkish opponent, describing them as “very physical, experienced, and with terrible perimeter play,” featuring six high-level foreign players. Hungarian Dorka Juhasz leads Galatasaray's statistics with 12.5 points and 7.7 rebounds per game.
In addition to the European duel, the draw for the Copa de la Reina (Queen's Cup) will also take place today in Alcobendas at 12:30 PM. Spar Girona is the only Catalan team qualified for the tournament, which will be held in Tarragona from March 26 to 29.
