The destination gives Silbö San Pablo the opportunity to seal the direct ascent to the ACB if he expires today -19.00 hours- when flexing Fuenlabrada in the Coliseum, the same rival and the same scenario in which the category lost three years ago. The Azulona template reaches this commitment in perfect condition and trying to isolate itself from the contained euphoria of a hobby that will fill the pavilion as in great occasions. This morning he has held a shooting session prior to this afternoon.
It is not the first time that San Pablo is a single victory of the Endesa League. He already played the final of the Final Four 2023 against Palencia in the Coliseum and took a jug of cold water with a defeat that condemned him to continue in First Feb. However, this time is different because it has a margin of error and the pressure is on the visiting side. If not winning, I would continue to have two advantage victories over the ‘Fuenla’ with only three days to be played. In addition, the particular ‘basketaverange’ has it won at the moment because in the first leg it was imposed 70-79 in Fernando Martín.
The fans dream that the San Pablo concrete the promotion today in a mathematical way to close the circle at home against the adversary that sent Burgos to the second category and nobody doubts the importance of the encounter, but the atmosphere in the costume is of absolute normality and, above all, the desire to compete in this type of matches. The mentality in yesterday’s training was the same every day, although this time they will have to know how to get the emotions of being so close to the goal.
Savignani will be able to count on all his men in the face of this commitment, including Roberts Stumbris, who already played against the Alega Cantabria group and is fully recovered from his discomfort.
San Pablo comes to this meeting with a streak of eight consecutive victories and still does not know what it is to lose in the coliseum this season, while Fuenlabrada accumulates four duels in a row, the last one in the Madrid derby against Movistar Students. Those triumphs arrive after a small crisis of results that coincided with problems of non -payment to the template. In fact, the defeats against the Ureta Tizona group and the Alimerka Oviedo in mid -March away from the ‘Fuenla’ from the first place.
The last opportunity of Madrid’s to grab the direct ascent is to win today in Burgos for more than nine points and expect San Pablo to stumble at least two of the three games that remain ahead. It is practically impossible considering that it has only lost two meetings throughout the season, but it is the only thing that Toni Ten pupils can grab to avoid playing it in the play off.
Powerful project. The Fuenlabrada project is one of the most powerful of the first Feb. He descended in 2023 and last season he passed without penalty or glory for the category. However, last summer a new directive entered, as well as new investors with the aim of seeking promotion.
Among their ranks, they have much cache players such as the LEO Westermann base, Osvaldas Matiulionis or Paul Jorgensen, or the Nwogbo Pivot Lottana, the most valued of their team with 12.6 points, 4.5 rebounds and almost an assistance per game. He is a player of many kilos and the most offenses, so both Luke Fischer and Gyorgy Golomán will have work to stop him.
Throughout the season, the ‘Fuenla’ had no luck because he lost important players such as Tomás Bellas and Yannick Nzosa due to injury, and Jonnhy Dee ‘disappeared’ when he was called to be a key piece in the gear of the squad.
As a team, the ‘Fuenla’ is one of the best defenses in the League, so the offensive flow of San Pablo will be tested, which is also a very solid block behind. Consistency and regularity will once again make the difference in a coliseum that only a few tickets left to sell.
