MAHÓN, Spain (Interstat) — Menorca will seek its first win of the season Saturday when it hosts Fibwi Palma at Pavello Menorca in Mahón, Spain. Both teams enter with 0-3 records. The matchup offers each side an early chance to break through and gain momentum in the standings.

Menorca has opened with three straight losses, most recently at Palencia. The home team also lost to Alicante and at Cantabria Estela. Kyle Greeley, Hansel Atencia and Peter Haaland were among Menorca’s most productive players in its latest defeat. Menorca will try to use its home court to establish rhythm and earn a needed victory. The home side will look to generate steady offense and limit easy scoring chances for Palma.

Fibwi Palma arrives after a 99-86 loss at Oviedo. Palma also has lost to Cantabria Estela and at Palmer Basket. The visiting team will need a strong defensive effort to slow Menorca and avoid falling further behind. Palma has yet to secure its first win, and a road victory would provide a significant lift early in the season.

Lysander Ameen is a player to watch for Fibwi Palma. In his most recent performance, against Cantabria Estela, Ameen played 24 minutes and finished with 26 points, two rebounds and one assist. His scoring ability gives Palma an offensive focal point. If Ameen can find space against Menorca’s defense, Palma will have a better chance to stay competitive. His production will be a key factor in Palma’s effort to keep pace.

Menorca will counter with home-court support. Both teams have struggled early, and the game could turn on which side limits turnovers and executes in key possessions. Menorca will aim to control the pace, while Palma will look to use Ameen and its perimeter attack to create scoring opportunities.

Pavello Menorca will host the contest in Mahón, Spain. Fibwi Palma and Menorca each enter with matching records and similar urgency.
