MIERES DEL CAMINO, Spain (Interstat) — Oviedo will host Fibwi Palma on Saturday at Polideportivo de Pumarin, with both teams searching for their first victory of the season. Oviedo enters as the home team with a 0-2 record, while Fibwi Palma also is 0-2 as the visiting side. The game offers each club an early chance to change momentum after a difficult start.

Fibwi Palma has opened with two narrow or lopsided results. Its most recent outing ended in an 88-76 home loss to Cantabria Estela. Lysander Ameen was the most productive player for Fibwi Palma, finishing with 26 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist in 24 minutes. Garmine Kande added 9 points, 8 rebounds and 2 blocks, while Jaume Lobo scored 17 points with 1 rebound and 1 assist. Earlier, Fibwi Palma dropped a 95-94 decision at Palmer Basket. Ameen will be a player to watch as Fibwi Palma looks for more balance and a stronger finish.

Oviedo also is seeking its first win after falling in its first two games. In its most recent game, Oviedo lost 77-67 at home to Granada. Pjay Smith led the way with 15 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists in 30 minutes. Zaire Williams contributed 17 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assist, and Daniil Shelist added 9 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 blocks. In an earlier road game, Oviedo fell 108-69 at Gran Canaria. Smith scored 17 points with 3 rebounds and 1 assist in 25 minutes, showing the kind of production Oviedo will need again.

Smith remains the primary player to watch for Oviedo. His ability to score and create for teammates could be central against a Fibwi Palma team still sorting out its defense. Fibwi Palma, meanwhile, will look to Ameen to carry the offense while Kande and Lobo provide support inside and on the perimeter. Both teams have struggled to protect leads and close games, and a win Saturday would provide a needed lift before the schedule continues.

Fibwi Palma is set to visit Menorca next, while Oviedo is scheduled to travel to Tizona. Those matchups add urgency to Saturday’s meeting, with neither team wanting to fall further behind early in the campaign. The game will be played at Polideportivo de Pumarin in Mieres del Camino, Spain, where Oviedo will have home-court advantage.

Interstat’s game simulator projects Oviedo to defeat Fibwi Palma 88-81. That projection makes Oviedo the favorite in the final scoring estimate, though Fibwi Palma will aim to outperform the model behind Ameen and a more balanced supporting effort.
