Fertiberia BM Puerto Sagunto reach the quarter-finals with optimism

Fertiberia BM Puerto Sagunto face the first leg of the Copa del Rey quarter-finals this Wednesday, in a match against FC Barcelona at 20:15, with the ambition of going as far as possible.

In the previous edition, the red-and-white team put in a good performance. Fertiberia played a single-match semi-final against Naturhouse La Rioja and, despite the defeat, the red-and-whites’ performance left a good impression. Patxi Martí’s side reach the quarter-finals after eliminating GlobalCaja Ciudad Encantada at home, but the draw was unfavourable, as FC Barcelona was the team all participants wanted to avoid. For this encounter, they will be without Marc Andreu, while Carlos Grau returned in the previous league round.

Meanwhile, Xavi Pascual’s men visit the red-and-white court after overcoming BM Villa de Aranda Top Ribera 26–39 in the round-of-16 tie. The Azulgrana side, whose situation is entirely different from Fertiberia’s, are comfortably leading the league, have qualified for the Champions League last 16 and have their sights set on the Copa del Rey Final Four.

In short, it is an uneven contest in terms of strength, but Fertiberia will look to put in a good performance at home, while the fans will be able to enjoy watching the best players in the world.
