Preview: GMASB Visits Ciudad de Mostoles in Spain LF Women’s Basketball Clash

MOSTOLES, Spain (Interstat) — A struggling GMASB squad seeks to build on a rare winning streak when it visits a middling Ciudad de Mostoles in a Spain LF women’s professional basketball matchup on Saturday.

The game tips off at Mostoles in this Madrid community.

GMASB (6-17 overall) enters with modest momentum, having won two of its last three games, including a 75-58 victory over Plasencia on March 21. A key to that win was forward Odeth Betancourt, who posted 13 rebounds, nine points and three assists in 23 minutes. Betancourt also recorded a double-double (14 points, 11 rebounds) in a win over Almeda on March 8.

Ciudad de Mostoles (12-11) looks to rebound from a narrow 66-65 road loss to Viladecans last Saturday. Center Elizabeth Abubakar was a bright spot in that defeat, registering a double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds. Abubakar has been a consistent force on the glass, grabbing 14 rebounds in a win over Spar Gran Canaria 2nd on March 14.

The home team holds both the season record advantage and a recent head-to-head edge. Ciudad de Mostoles defeated GMASB 70-63 when the teams met in December.

For GMASB, support for Betancourt in the recent win came from Maria Sanchez (15 points) and Carmen Villanueva (15 points). Ciudad de Mostoles will rely on Abubakar’s interior presence alongside contributors like Ana Peredo and Melisa Correa.

The contest represents a chance for GMASB to climb from the league’s lower reaches, while Ciudad de Mostoles aims to solidify its position above .500 and avenge its last-second loss from a week ago.

Following this game, GMASB’s next contest is April 12 against Cesur Distrito Olimpico Madrid. Ciudad de Mostoles travels to face Segle XXI on April 11.
