Oberá (12-10 record) comes to tonight’s match from Río Gallegos, where he achieved an important 96-89 win against Hispano. Celeste is in 10th place in the table, and although it has shown ups and downs in results, it needs to win to stay in playoff positions, fierce competition until twelfth place. He won 4 of the last 7.
Platense (record 7-15) comes from a strenuous tour of the north, in which he added two defeats in Corrientes (109-94 against Regatas and 71-67 against San Martín) but achieved an important victory over La Unión in Formosa by 87-81. He arrives with a renewed spirit, not only because of the victory that happily ended a string of six games without a win, but also because he beat a direct rival. He is 16th in the table.
Oberá has never been able to win two or more games on an away tour in this league. Of the 6 crossings that he has carried out in this 21/22, including the current one, in 5 he managed to win at least one victory back to Misiones.
The recent victory in Formosa last Tuesday ended up being a key step for Platense. El Calamar is now in the important batch of teams that find themselves with 7 wins, along with Argentino, Comunicaciones and La Unión itself. El Calamar needs to win to get further off the table and avoid the red zone of Permanence.
