The red and whites lost at Cuatro Rayas Valladolid last round, leaving them just three points clear of the relegation places. Patxi Martí’s men arrive under the pressure that comes with remaining in the top tier of Spanish handball for another year. Fertiberia will take to the court determined to claim both points and thereby move away from the resurgent teams seeking to avoid relegation. The red and whites’ recent run has been downward, but the squad is confident that the reaction shown against Cuatro Rayas Valladolid can turn the situation around. However, Fertiberia will be without Sasa Dukic, whose left-hand fracture will prevent him from playing again this season, while Javier Tarrasó is a doubt as he continues to struggle with physical problems.
Juanfersa Grupo Fegar, meanwhile, are in the same situation as the Valencians after losing at home to Naturhouse La Rioja. Alberto Suárez’s team know what is at stake and will make things difficult for the Valencians, despite arriving without the important pivot Ángel Paraja.
Ultimately, after their latest defeat in Valladolid, Patxi Martí’s team know that their greatest asset is their strength at home. With the support of their fans, they will try to perform well on home turf and claim two golden points.
