Alser BM Puerto Sagunto seek to close the gap against direct rivals

BM Huesca visit the Ovni to face Alser BM Puerto Sagunto this Saturday from 18:30 in a match corresponding to the 13th league round, with both teams highly focused on the game.

BM Huesca want to arrive in good shape for the match and continue the run begun against Anaitasuna, as the Huesca team had not picked up points since the sixth round. A strong end to the year will allow them to approach the break and the more-than-month-long rest that the competition will have in January with peace of mind. For this reason, BM Huesca winger Marco Mira said that he considers the upcoming matches against their direct rivals, who are behind them, to be very important, but warned that although the team are in good shape, the matches will be difficult, starting with this Saturday's game here in Puerto Sagunto.

Goran Dzokic's team arrive with their morale considerably boosted after their latest matches, in which they beat Amaya Sport San Antonio at home and put up a strong fight away to Valladolid, who occupy one of the top places in the table. The team want to continue achieving good results and remain treating every match as a final in their effort to escape the relegation places.

As for absences, the situation appears to be improving for the Valencian side, as for now only Bojan Stefanovic is a doubt, still carrying discomfort after his injury against Caja 3 BM Aragón, in addition to the long-term absence of Marko Dzokic. The visiting team, meanwhile, arrive with Emilio Esteban and Carlos Grau doubtful as they continue recovering from their injuries, and it will be necessary to wait until the last moment to see whether they can be fit to play on Saturday.

In short, this promises to be an exciting match because, in addition to being a meeting between direct rivals, BM Huesca and Alser BM Puerto Sagunto share several players in their history, and most of them will be on the court on Saturday competing for the two points. The match will also feature, as always, the great support of the red-and-white fans, who more than ever want to cheer their team on at the already legendary “Ovni” venue.
