The team coached by José Luis Pichel is confident in leveraging the favorable result from last weekend, when they achieved a ten-point victory at the Pabellón Pla de l’Arc. If the green-and-white team maintains the concentration and level of play shown in the second half of the first encounter, where they dominated under the hoops with a 25-47 partial, they should have no trouble sealing their passage to the semifinals. The match will take place at the pabellón Ciutat de Castelló, with refereeing by Alejandro Pellitero González and Kunal Melwani Chugani.
Despite the ten-point lead, the home team knows that the Valencian squad will come ready to impose their game and neutralize the disadvantage. The season has been favorable for Amics Castelló, who have won all three previous encounters against CEB Llíria. Two victories occurred at the Ciutat de Castelló, one by 21 points (93-72) with a notable performance from point guard Oluwasesan Russel, and another away by seven points (80-87) in the regular season.
CEB Llíria reaches this tie after having overcome CBC Valladolid in the round of 16, with a resounding home victory by 27 points (102-75) that offset the defeat in the second leg. For their part, Amics Castelló is seeking promotion to Primera FEB through the long route, after losing the champions' final against Córdoba.
The winner of this duel will face in the semifinals the winner of the pairing between Bueno Arenas Albacete Básquet and Iraurgi SB, which also takes place this Sunday with a slight advantage for the Manchego team.
