PALMA (Interstat) — Mallorca Palma will host Estepona in a women’s professional basketball game on Friday, with both teams looking to build on recent form. Mallorca Palma enters at 5-1, while Estepona is 5-5.

Mallorca Palma is 5-1 after a 91-69 win at Araski in its most recent outing. Klara Holm led the way with 21 points, six rebounds and four assists. Alba Torrens added 18 points, five rebounds and three assists, and K. Alexander had 16 points and nine rebounds. Holm has scored at least 11 points in each of her last four games and has posted one double-double in that stretch.

Estepona is 5-5 and comes off a 70-55 home win over Girona. Ainhoa Gervasini produced 17 points, four rebounds and two assists in 30 minutes. Marta Ortega Campos added 11 points, and Lucia Arribas scored nine. Gervasini has been a consistent offensive option, with 13 points against Perfumerias Avenida and 10 at Ferrol in recent games. She has scored in double figures in three of her last five appearances.

Holm has been productive for Mallorca Palma, including 21 points, nine rebounds and five assists against Jairis and 14 points, 12 rebounds and six assists at IDK Gipuzkoa. Her inside-outside play will be a focus for Estepona’s defense.

Estepona will need to handle Mallorca Palma’s balanced scoring and rebounding. The visitors have shown they can score, including an 81-67 win over Perfumerias Avenida and an 82-55 win over Ensino. Estepona also has a 70-52 win at Estudiantes and dropped a 72-84 decision at Ferrol. Mallorca Palma’s only loss came against Jairis, 69-67, and it has wins over Cadi La Seu, Valencia, IDK Gipuzkoa, Girona and Araski.

Estepona has won three of its last four games, with its most recent loss coming at Ferrol. The visitors have reached 70 points in four victories and will need a strong defensive effort to slow Mallorca Palma’s perimeter and interior attack. Mallorca Palma has scored at least 71 points in every win this season and has topped 88 twice.

The game on Friday could hinge on Gervasini’s ability to create against a Mallorca Palma team that has gotten strong production from Holm, Torrens and Alexander. Estepona will look for additional support from Ortega Campos and Arribas. Mallorca Palma will aim to control the glass and keep its offense moving through Holm.
