ZARAGOZA (Interstat) — Zaragoza will host Landes on Wednesday in a clash of unbeaten women’s professional basketball teams, with both clubs looking to continue strong starts and gain an early edge.

Zaragoza is 3-0 and has shown balance on both ends. Ornella Bankole is the player to watch for the home side. She opened the season with 11 points, four rebounds and one assist in a win at Celta Zorka, then added eight points, four rebounds and seven assists in a win at Gernika Bizkaia.

Mariona Ortiz contributed nine rebounds and four assists, while Nadia Fingall scored 15 points and dished three assists. That depth has helped Zaragoza average a comfortable margin while remaining unbeaten.

Landes is 4-0 and arrives as the visiting team with momentum. Mariama Daramy is the player to watch for Landes. She has scored in double figures in three of her last four appearances, including 17 points, seven rebounds, one assist and one block in a win over La Tronche Meylan. Earlier, she had 13 points and four rebounds against Flammes Carolo, 13 points, four rebounds and three assists against Villeneuve, and eight points and one block at Angers.

Zaragoza will try to use its home court to hand Landes its first loss, while Landes will aim to stay unbeaten and secure a strong road result.

The matchup features two teams that have yet to lose, making every possession important. Zaragoza’s perimeter play and rebounding will be tested by Landes’s scoring balance and defensive pressure. Daramy and Bankole are expected to play central roles, but the supporting casts could decide the outcome.
