OSTEND, Belgium (Interstat) — Basquet Girona will visit Oostende Tuesday at Sleuyter Arena in Ostend, Belgium, in a matchup of teams seeking early-season traction.

Basquet Girona enters with a 2-2 record. Oostende is 2-1. The visitors are coming off a 115-92 loss at Breogán in their most recent game. Basquet Girona opened the season with an 84-77 home win over Murcia, then lost 118-78 at Baskonia and beat Dinamo Tbilisi 87-75 at home. The club has won both of its home games and lost both of its road games. Basquet Girona’s 92-point effort at Breogán marked its highest scoring output this season, while it has allowed 118 and 115 points in its two road losses.

Oostende most recently defeated Landstede 98-70 at home. The Belgian club also won 76-69 at Levicki Patrioti and lost 95-87 at Okapi earlier this season. Oostende has won two of its first three games and has won its only home game this season. Oostende’s 98 points against Landstede marked its highest scoring output this season.

Martinas Geben is a player to watch for Basquet Girona. In a recent win, he finished with 13 points, six rebounds and one block in 19 minutes. Geben gives Girona an interior presence on both ends, and his rebounding and finishing around the rim will be important against Oostende’s frontcourt.

Kostas Kostadinov is a player to watch for Oostende. In a recent win at Levicki Patrioti, he recorded 15 points, eight rebounds, two assists and three blocks in 21 minutes. Kostadinov’s ability to score inside, rebound and protect the rim makes him a central figure for the home side.

Oostende will aim to use its home court and early-season form to control the pace. Basquet Girona will look to rebound from its most recent road loss and find consistency away from home. The visiting side will need Geben to help counter Kostadinov inside and limit second-chance opportunities. The game will be the first meeting between the teams this season.

After this game, Basquet Girona is scheduled to host Leyma Coruna, Stelmet Zielona Gora, Badalona, Levicki Patrioti and Bilbao, with road games at Szolnoki Olaj, Basket Zaragoza, Dinamo Tbilisi and Unicaja. Oostende is set to visit Brussels, host Dinamo Tbilisi, visit Charleroi and Stelmet Zielona Gora, host Leuven, Szolnoki Olaj, Port of Antwerp and Levicki Patrioti, and visit ZZ Leiden. The teams are scheduled to meet again at Basquet Girona.

Interstat’s game simulator projects a final score of Oostende 89, Basquet Girona 83. Interstat’s ELO system gives Oostende a 91.9 percent probability to win.
