Academia Octavio visit the Ovni to face Alser BM Puerto Sagunto this Saturday 17th from 18:30. The match is part of the 15th league round and comes with both teams following different paths: Academia Octavio have just won their last match, while Alser BM Puerto Sagunto have lost away to a direct rival.
For the red-and-whites, the match represents a difficult challenge in their bid to secure victory, but Dzokic's side are not giving up and have their sights set on the two points before the Christmas break. As for the team's absences, Bojan Stefanovic, Iago Muiña and the ever-present Marko Dzokic remain unavailable. In addition, the tight schedule this month means that many players have not fully recovered from minor injuries, forcing them to play despite being below full fitness.
Quique Domínguez's side, having beaten Helvetia Anaitasuna at home, arrive for their meeting with Alser BM Puerto Sagunto in high spirits, as they are involved in the battle to qualify for the Copa del Rey and will give nothing away. For that reason, several of their players were rested in the last match for the game at the “Ovni”. Meanwhile, as is customary because of the first team's numerous absences, Goran will have junior players Nacho Moya del Saz and Toni Alegre available, as well as the return of Nacho Nebot, who did not travel to Antequera for work reasons.
Therefore, this is a match between two teams in need of two points: the red-and-whites, to avoid falling further behind in the fight to stay up and to give the fans a victory before the Christmas break; and the Vigo side, to achieve their objective of playing in the Copa del Rey.
