Carlos Cantero's side head into the seventh league round with six wins from six games and a run that has now reached ten consecutive victories across domestic competition and the EuroLeague. Their latest success came last Tuesday on one of Europe's most demanding courts, where Casademont defeated Basket Landes 69-70 in a closely fought game. It was a hugely valuable win that also secured their place in the second phase of the continental competition and kept them as the only unbeaten team in Europe's top competition.
As a result, the red-and-black side want to carry that good form to Madrid and close this first part of the schedule without any scares. To do so, Carlos Cantero will have his entire squad available, including Aisha Sheppard, who will be fit to play after suffering an ankle sprain in the team's last league game. Her return is good news for an Aragonese team that is finding contributions from different players in the league and wants to continue improving without surrendering ground at the top of the table.
ESTUDIANTES SEEKING A RESPONSE
Opposite them will be a Movistar Estudiantes side going through a very different run of form. The Madrid team, coached by Isaac Fernández, opened the Liga Femenina Endesa season with two wins, but have since suffered four consecutive defeats. The latest was particularly emphatic, as they fell 101-67 away to Inversus Gernika. With a record of two wins and four losses, the home side will look to make the most of home-court advantage to halt Casademont's winning run.
