With the majestic Coliseum in A Coruña as the stage, Primera FEB prepares for the most decisive Galician derby of the last decade. A clash that could leave Leyma Coruña on the brink of direct promotion, provided Carles Marco's men can overcome Monbus Obradoiro, who arrive at the leader's home determined to minimize the gap with five matchdays remaining.
You would have to go back to the great promotion final disputed in 2015 between Río Breogán and Ourense Baloncesto to find a Galician derby as decisive as the one that will be played this Saturday at the Coliseum, with Monbus Obradoiro ready to take a giant step toward direct promotion and Leyma Coruña seeking to reverse the fortunes of both in a demanding away clash.
Leyma Coruña has lost only two games this season, and one of them was against the team visiting the Coliseum this Saturday, their neighbors Monbus Obradoiro. A duel that ended with a four-point advantage for Diego Epifanio's side and which therefore leaves both the victory and the direct head-to-head record in the air (103-99). Two factors that could be decisive for winning the league title and its corresponding promotion, and which Carles Marco's team will fight hard for with the backing of their fans. Because a victory would leave their rival three wins away and the head-to-head (4) with five matchdays remaining, already having the possibility of "clinching" the title from next week in their visit to Fuenlabrada. Something the A Coruña side will try to avoid at all costs with a win that could allow them to move within one victory of a rival that, however, would still be dependent on themselves.
And everyone will be closely watching what happens there in a competition where Súper Agropal Palencia will have a rest day and where the fight continues for the Playoffs for promotion, with Movistar Estudiantes still looking forward. Because the Madrid side want to keep growing in a demanding start to open the matchday against Grupo Ureta Tizona Burgos. A key clash for the Burgos side in their fight for survival that has led them to drop into relegation positions and already feel the breath of the bottom-dweller, Melilla Ciudad del Deporte, who will visit Palmer Basket in the final game of the matchday with survival at stake for both. A clash in which the Balearic side will fight to secure a head-to-head record that could be their passport to another season in the category.
Another of the matchday's finals will come from the Palacio de los Deportes in Cartagena where Grupo Caesa will host an ambitious Hestia Menorca that must win to establish itself among the top nine. Because this objective will be fought in a direct duel by HLA Alicante and Inveready Gipuzkoa as well as Flexicar Fuenlabrada, who will visit one of the league's most in-form teams, Alimerka Oviedo, which has already racked up seven consecutive wins. An objective that Cloud.Gal Ourense and Grupo Alega Cantabria will exhaust their last chances for in their meeting at the pavilion, and which Caja Rural Zamora wants to keep looking toward, needing only a win against Fibwi Mallorca to keep their sights high.
