FUENLABRADA, Spain (Interstat) — Fuenlabrada will host Ourense on Saturday at Polideportivo Fernando Martin, with both teams seeking a turnaround in Spanish basketball play.

Ourense enters at 3-3 after an 83-73 home victory over Fibwi Palma in its most recent game. Martin Fernandez Carballo led Ourense with 19 points and three rebounds in that win, while Diogo Saraiva added 12 points and five rebounds and Javier Nicolau contributed 13 points, three rebounds and two assists. Fernandez Carballo has been a central figure for Ourense. He scored 20 points with five rebounds and two assists against Alicante and had 19 points and three rebounds in the Fibwi Palma win, though he finished with five points and one rebound at Palencia. Ourense will look for balanced support around him as it tries to move above .500.

Fuenlabrada is 1-5 and comes off a 71-66 loss at Granada. Ivan Cruz Uceda has remained productive for Fuenlabrada despite the team’s struggles. In the Granada game, he scored 18 points and grabbed eight rebounds while adding one assist. He also had 16 points, nine rebounds and four assists against Menorca and 22 points, 11 rebounds and three assists at Cantabria Estela. Michael Caicedo pulled down 10 rebounds in the most recent game, and Bruno Cardoso added eight points and six rebounds. Fuenlabrada will need that supporting production again at home.

The matchup pits Ourense’s .500 record against a Fuenlabrada team trying to build momentum on its home floor. Ourense has shown it can score in bunches, as it did in the win over Fibwi Palma, but it will need to handle Fuenlabrada’s interior presence and limit second-chance opportunities. Fuenlabrada will try to use the home crowd and the play of Cruz Uceda to offset a difficult start to the season. Ourense’s recent results include the win over Fibwi Palma and a narrow loss at Palencia, while Fuenlabrada’s most recent victory came against Menorca. Both teams have had uneven stretches, making execution and rebounding central to the matchup.

Fuenlabrada will aim to control the paint and get Cruz Uceda involved early, while Ourense will lean on Fernandez Carballo to create scoring chances. The game is expected to be closely contested, with both teams looking to improve their position and establish consistency.
