Atticgo Elche-Granollers
Atticgo Elche returns to Catalonia to face KH-7 BM Granollers in a match scheduled to start at 8pm. Granollers sits seventh, with three wins and four losses, a record that promises a tight battle. The Elche squad, guided by Joaquín Rocamora, is determined to claim the victory and push beyond it, turning a possible win into a statement about their growing consistency. The coach has urged his players to stay focused from start to finish, avoiding lapses that could tip the scales in a close contest. The previous encounter against Aula Valladolid in Esperanza Lag showed how quickly a game can swing when concentration slips, even in a win. Elche aims to minimize such vulnerabilities and stay ahead of a Granollers team that will push relentlessly to keep the score within reach.
The emphasis for Elche is on maintaining cohesion and continuity. Any disconnection could prove costly against a Granollers side that thrives on tempo and disciplined defense. A patient, well-structured approach will be essential if Elche is to neutralize Granollers’ efforts to swing momentum. The home team will be keen to exploit any transitional gaps and convert them into quick scoring opportunities, a hallmark of Granollers’ game plan as they seek to climb the standings.
Atticgo Elche faces a test that could define their path in the league phase. The focus is not solely on securing two points but on sustaining a competitive level as the schedule intensifies. The team understands that every possession matters and that small margins can decide outcomes in what is projected to be a closely fought contest.
Elda Prestigio-Porriño
Elda Prestigio has shown signs of improvement in Malaga, a sign of a team slowly elevating its performance level. They entered Malaga with a determined game plan but were edged out 22-17. Chema Vives’ squad began the season with strong momentum, yet faced defeats against several tough opponents, including Atlético Guardés. The loss against Malaga was a reminder of the work still required, but the early season form suggested a higher ceiling. The coaching staff remains clear in their objective: progress game by game, and keep the team’s confidence high as they navigate a demanding schedule and continue to build chemistry on the court.
Elda Prestigio visits a formidable Malaga venue for a crucial match against Conservas Orbe Rubensa Porriño. The game is set for Wednesday at 17.00. Porriño sits in sixth place with four wins and three losses, while Elda has only one win so far. Porriño presents a stern challenge and will test Elda Prestigio’s resolve, pressing to extend their own positive run and apply pressure from the starting whistle. The coaching staff will be looking for a balanced performance, combining disciplined defense with efficient offense to seize control and maintain composure under pressure.
Both teams are at pivotal points in the season. The result in Malaga and the approach to the Porriño encounter will shape the mood around Elda Prestigio as they head into the next phase of the Guerreras League. The players understand that every game contributes to momentum, confidence, and team cohesion, and they aim to translate preparation into a strong showing on Wednesday’s court.
