Alser BM Puerto Sagunto will have the opportunity tomorrow to continue their magnificent home run, where only Cuenca and Renovalia Ciudad Real have won to date. From 18:30, they face a true Champions League opponent.
The Valladolid side, managed by a World Champion in Juan Carlos Pastor and with their full arsenal, will once again face the red-and-white team and supporters on the main day of the Fallas festivities, Saint Joseph’s Day. The Valladolid coach knows the home potential of the local side and has prepared for the match as though it were a final, declaring: “For us, only victory will do.” A win would bring them closer to third place, occupied by the last team to visit the Municipal venue, Granollers. Players such as Svensson, Sierra, Gurbindo and Rambo will visit the sports centre, guaranteeing another display of high-quality handball.
For their part, Dzokic’s men will try to maintain and, if possible, improve their performances at home, continuing their positive momentum with committed supporters and a more festive atmosphere than usual at the “Ovni”.
The home fans hope that the violet team will be thinking more about their upcoming Champions League round-of-16 clash, allowing them to dream of another epic afternoon. Sporting logic suggests that the local side have little to lose and much to gain in this round, with another highly demanding schedule expected over the coming weeks. Taking points again would keep Alser away from, or move them further clear of, the relegation places.
