Alser BM Puerto Sagunto face their alter ego in the first half of the Asobal League this Wednesday from 20:45. Both BM Antequera and the red-and-whites have managed just five meagre points, and tomorrow they meet at Antequera’s Fernando Arguelles in a bottom-of-the-table clash. Two teams in urgent need of points see this match as a lifeline in their fight for survival.
Aware of the importance of the match, Alser are breaking with their enforced austerity for one fixture, caused by their financial difficulties, and are travelling the day before to spend the night in the city of Málaga. For this match, and as usual, absences are the main feature of the squad: neither Nebot, due to work commitments, nor Stefanovic and Muiña, due to injury, have travelled, in addition to the customary absence of Marko Dzokic. The manager will therefore have 13 players, including juniors Moya de Saz and Toni Alegre, with only the third goalkeeper, Samuel Ibañez, left at home from all the players eligible to play in Asobal matches.
Antequera also have injury problems and have Juanan, Hoyos, Radulovic and Pejovic carrying knocks, so they will not know their squad until matchday itself.
On the socio-economic front, Alser’s Board of Directors continues to prepare for the Members’ Assembly taking place on Friday at 18:30, which is vital for securing the club’s financial future. The board is calling for maximum participation from its members, since, as it states, “BM Puerto Sagunto is a democratic club and its members must be involved in all the information.”
In summary, this is a vital week in every respect for the Valencian club, which reaches its sixtieth anniversary this December. Quite a milestone of longevity for a handball club.
