Alser BM Puerto Sagunto face the derby as their first relegation final

Following the turmoil of recent days within the red-and-white club over the change of coach, the Liga Asobal returns to the Ovni, with the Valencian Community derby. BM Torrevieja visit Alser BM Puerto Sagunto’s court this Saturday the 3rd from 16:00, with the Canal Nou Dos cameras as witnesses. The match is part of the 20th league round and comes with a very solid Torrevieja after drawing and winning their last two league matches. On this occasion, Alser BM Puerto Sagunto are treating the match as another final and aiming to put in the good performance expected.

The match marks a new stage for the red-and-whites. Following the dismissal of Goran Dzokic, assistant coach Alberto Estornell takes charge with the aim of securing survival for a solid, sound project with such a long history. The red-and-whites, stuck at the bottom of the Liga ASOBAL and five points behind Magyar Antequera, who currently occupy the safety position, will try to secure the victory that has eluded them in matches they have contested until their energy ran out, as happened in Granollers and León.

Regarding the last match at the Ovni, the fans have not forgotten the exciting game they witnessed, in which leaders FC Barcelona had to work harder than expected to take both points. For this match, the Valencian coach has all his players available, apart from the known injuries to Iago Muiña, Marko Dzokic and Pachi Peg, who are already training and recovering from their injuries.

The side coached by Manuel Laguna are seventh in the table and hope to begin playing as hosts in the Copa del Rey. In the last round they comfortably beat Anaitasuna (24-13) and come with the aim of taking both points and moving even closer to the teams that will compete in European competitions next season. In this way, C. BM. Torrevieja are confirming that they are the surprise team of the current campaign.

In short, this is a crucial match for the red-and-whites, who must approach every remaining game as a final in which they are fighting for their objective since the start of the season: survival.
