BAXI Manresa starts 2026 at home with a Catalan duel against Girona

The Christmas holidays do not give BAXI Manresa a break, which is immersed in a marathon of matches to end and start the year. This Friday at 9:00 PM it is time to welcome Bàsquet Girona to Nou Congost, in a Catalan duel that is evenly matched and will decide the two teams in the standings.

BAXI Manresa continues to prepare for this Friday's match against Girona. Diego Ocampo commented that although Max Gaspà has already trained with the group, he will not play. The team from Bages have achieved two important victories in the Endesa League away from home and, although they lost to Israel in the Eurocup, they are confident of being able to show their best side again in front of the fans.

For its part, Bàsquet Girona arrives after winning the last day of the league in Fontajau. Moncho Fernández's team, who defeated Hiopos Lleida 103 to 86 in the last day, are tied in the standings with BAXI Manresa. Many players contribute to this team, which has Otis Livingston, Juan Fernández and Pep Busquets as its best men. The reference in the paint is Martinas Geben, known to Manresa fans after being a key piece in 2 seasons at Bages.

Diego Ocampo said in the preview that «we are two teams that play a similar style, that we do not speculate and play quickly; Girona arrives at a very good time, has won the home games with solvency and against Tenerife has competed very well; not only are the players that we all look at good: Sergi Martínez, Fernández, Martinas Geben have taken a step forward and have a great offensive and defensive level; We want to play at home and give the people a good game with dedication and commitment."
