Fertiberia BM Puerto Sagunto aim to claim their first points in Cuenca

Fertiberia BM Puerto Sagunto face GlobalCaja Ciudad Encantada at the Sargal this Saturday from 18:30, in their first match away from Valencia, with the aim of improving on the performance shown on the opening day. The red-and-whites travel to Cuenca hoping to pick up two points and put an end to their poor start to the season. Patxi Martí's men already know what it is like to beat the Cuenca side, having done so in the pre-season match played at the Ovni (28-26). The Valencians will therefore have to improve their play in order to make amends on a court where they achieved two league and Copa del Rey victories last season. As for Lidio Jiménez's team, they begin the season with a revamped squad featuring young players who will take the reins of the team. The Cuenca side go into the match after losing away to Naturhouse La Rioja in a game decided in the final minutes in favour of the franjivinos (29-26). Despite this defeat, the home side will take to the court with a dual objective: to secure their first win and avenge their recent defeats against the Valencians. Ultimately, Fertiberia have the chance to claim their first away victory against a familiar opponent and thus erase the impression they made against Frigoríficos Morrazo.
