LEON, Spain (Interstat) — A surging Leon squad looks to continue its push near the top of the Spain LF standings when it hosts a struggling Maresme team on Saturday, March 21, 2026.

Leon (16-6) enters the contest having won three of its last four, including a convincing 60-46 road victory over TGN Basquet last Saturday. The home team is powered by guard Julia Martinez, who is coming off a triple-double performance of 15 points, 11 rebounds and 7 assists in that win. Martinez has averaged 19.3 points over her last three games, showcasing her status as a primary offensive engine.

Maresme (10-12) aims to halt a recent slide after a narrow 66-68 home loss to Mondragon last weekend snapped a three-game winning streak. The visitors will rely on forward Joana Navarro, who has been a consistent force on the boards. Navarro has recorded three double-doubles in her last four outings, including a 17-rebound effort in a win over Pontevedra on March 1.

The season’s previous meeting provides a blueprint for an upset. Maresme defeated Leon 87-81 on Dec. 6, 2025, proving capable of matching up with the league’s stronger sides.

Leon’s strength lies in its balanced attack and stout defense, having held opponents under 50 points twice in recent weeks. Maresme’s path to victory likely requires another standout performance from Navarro to control the interior and mitigate Leon’s second-chance opportunities.

The game tips off at Leon’s home arena in Leon, Spain. For Leon, a win solidifies its position among the league’s elite, while Maresme seeks a critical road victory to stabilize its mid-table standing and reignite its playoff aspirations.
