Preview: Sanfer Looks to Extend Winning Streak Against Struggling Maresme

BARCELONA, Spain (Interstat) — A mid-table clash with playoff implications is set for Saturday when Sanfer visits Maresme in a Spain LF women’s professional basketball game.

Sanfer (13-11) enters the contest riding the momentum of a decisive 76-61 road victory over Ekke on April 2. Maresme (10-14), meanwhile, looks to halt a three-game losing skid, most recently a 69-43 home defeat to TGN Basquet on March 28.

The visiting Sanfer will lean on the hot hand of Emilie Larsen. The standout guard is coming off a dominant 33-point, 7-rebound performance in the win over Ekke, showcasing her ability to carry the offensive load. Consistency has been key for Sanfer, which has alternated wins and losses over its last six games but holds a superior record to its host.

Maresme’s hopes will rest heavily on the interior presence of Joana Navarro. The forward has been a rebounding force, pulling down 13 boards in the loss to TGN Basquet. However, her team has struggled to find consistent scoring, failing to reach 60 points in any of its three consecutive losses.

The season’s first head-to-head meeting favors Sanfer, which secured a 68-57 home win over Maresme on Dec. 20, 2025.

For Sanfer, support for Larsen comes from Taylor Janssen, who posted a double-double (15 points, 10 rebounds) in the last outing. Maresme will need more offensive production from guard Ariadna Magrina, who led the team with 11 points in its last game, to complement Navarro’s work on the glass.

The matchup pits Sanfer’s recent offensive prowess against a Maresme defense that has faltered, allowing an average of 71.3 points during its losing streak. Sanfer aims to solidify its standing and build a winning streak, while Maresme desperately seeks a home victory to revive its fading playoff aspirations.

Tipoff is scheduled for Saturday, April 11, 2026, in Barcelona.
