Fertiberia BM Puerto Sagunto test themselves against Cuatro Rayas Valladolid

Fertiberia BM Puerto Sagunto will face historic Cuatro Rayas Valladolid tomorrow at Huerta del Rey from 20:00, with the aim of showing their best form away from Valencia in an important relegation battle, in the match corresponding to the 24th round of the league.

Patxi Martí’s men want to take a step forward after last week’s defeat by BM Aragón, striking a blow against a direct rival that would allow them to move further away from the relegation zone and put even more pressure on the teams at the bottom of the table. The red-and-whites are 12th with 18 points and a four-point advantage over the Valladolid side. For this vital clash, Fertiberia’s coach will be without winger Javier Tarrasó, who has been carrying a rib injury since the last match.

Cuatro Rayas Valladolid, meanwhile, will seek to make amends at home and in front of their supporters for last round’s defeat by Juanfersa Grupo Fegar (25–21), which ended a run of no fewer than four consecutive rounds without defeat, comprising two wins and two draws. This good run took Nacho González’s side up the table and out of the relegation places.

Ultimately, Fertiberia go into the clash with the confidence provided by their good away results, meaning the red-and-whites are obliged to take another major step on the always difficult Huerta del Rey court.
