PABLO ROMERO / COMMUNICATION AREA FEB
Visiting this weekend one of the debutants in the competition, “The Quiniela of the LEB Gold” falls on this occasion on the figure of the escort Jaume Lobo (Cáceres P. Humanity). A daring escort on the slopes when it comes to assuming responsibilities, but also off them where he will have no problem taking pencil and paper to launch his forecasts for a seamless day from above. Because for the Catalan player, neither the Coviran Granada neither him Movistar Students they will fail in the search for two wins with which to approach the Final of the Princess of Asturias Cup.
A noble area for which he hopes to be able to fight again after a new victory for his Cáceres P. Humanity and after a weekend in which the CB Prat He will be one of the main winners from below with his victory away from home… Will they be correct in their predictions?

| Game | Forecast | |
| UEMC Real Valladolid vs Palmer AM Palma | one | |
| “Palmer AM Palma arrives in Valladolid with a certain need, but I think that UEMC Real Valladolid is a much more complicated team when it plays at home and that it will not have any problems when it comes to fighting for victory with the support of his hobby. So, let’s go with a one.” | ||
| MVP: Sergio de la Fuente (RVB) | ||
| Covirán Granada vs Cáceres P. Humanity | two | |
| “I have no doubt that the people of Cáceres will take the victory. We came from a tough defeat in Almansa during the last postponed game and we want to recover. We are going to offer the best version of our game and with that we are going to beat the leader in his court in a complicated game”. | ||
| MVP: Devin Schmidt (CPH) | ||
| Acunsa Gipuzkoa vs TAU Castello | one | |
| “Two teams that would surely like to have a few more wins in their locker as they have good squads. On this occasion, their direct duel will help one of the two and, if I had to decide the winner, I think Acunsa Gipuzkoa will therefore be closer to playing at home”. | ||
| MVP: Benjamin Simons (GBC) | ||
| Levitec Huesca The Magic vs CB Prat | two | |
| “I think that CB Prat is having great matches in recent days and, after the one we were able to see during the week in Valladolid, I think they are in a winning dynamic. Also being a match against a direct rival in the fight for permanence, I don’t think let them fail.” | ||
| MVP: Arnau Parrado (CB Prat) | ||
| EasyCharger Palencia vs Juaristi ISB | one | |
| “Here I am going to opt for EasyCharger Palencia as the winner, because they have a great squad, because they still have options to be in the Cup and because playing at home and in front of their fans I don’t think they will have any problem to be able to get a valuable victory “. | ||
| MVP: Prince Ali (EasyCharger) | ||
| Unicaja Banco Oviedo vs Movistar Students | two | |
| “It will probably be the big game of the day because two of the best and strongest squads in the competition face each other. It will be a difficult game for them, but Movistar Estudiantes have a great squad that will end up winning an important victory on their way to the Cup”. | ||
| MVP: Javier Beiran (Students) | ||
| Leyma Coruña vs CB Almansa with Afanion | one | |
| “Here it is true that CB Almansa has just played a good game against us this week, but I think that Leyma Coruña is one of the great teams in the competition and that, after several postponed games and playing at home as they do, They should have trouble winning the game.” | ||
| MVP: Nick Ward (Law) | ||
| Basketball Girona vs HLA Alicante | one | |
| “Bàsquet Girona has taken a giant step in recent days with the arrival of Marc Gasol. The other day in Lleida they competed very well despite not being able to count on him, so I think that, playing at home, they shouldn’t let pass the opportunity to add a victory with which to grow towards the Playoffs”. | ||
| MVP: Max Fjellerup (B. Girona) | ||
| ICG Força Lleida vs Melilla Sport Capital | one | |
| “It is clear that ICG Força Lleida is being one of the great teams this season in the competition. We could already see this Thursday against Girona that playing at home they are a very solid team and, although they cannot play yet this weekend, I think they can win this match back.” | ||
| MVP: Thomas Shreiner (ICG) | ||
