Fertiberia BM Puerto Sagunto aim to finish the first half of the season with a win

This Saturday, Fertiberia BM Puerto Sagunto will visit Villa de Aranda Top Ribera, from 19:00 at the Príncipe de Asturias. The Valencians face their final match of the first half of the season with the aim of ending the year with a win against a direct rival. The red-and-whites hope to give their supporters one last bit of joy this year, and there is no better opportunity than doing so away from home, with the support of the red-and-white tide travelling to Aranda de Duero. After their win in the Copa del Rey tie against GlobalCaja Ciudad Encantada, Fertiberia travel full of confidence and with the aim of taking two points to move further away from the relegation places. For the match against the Aranda side, coach Patxi Martí welcomes back injured players Rubén Ruiz and Javier Tarrasó, with goalkeeper Juan Sebastiá the only absentee, unable to travel with the team due to work commitments. The side managed by Jacobo Cuétara, meanwhile, were knocked out in the Copa del Rey round of 16 by FC Barcelona. The Aranda team are treating this encounter like a final, as they sit 13th in the table with 8 points and need two points to gain some breathing space. The Asturian coach will have to wait until the last moment to find out whether Juanlu Moyano and Martín Doldán will be available for the match. Ultimately, the red-and-whites will be looking to give their supporters a good Christmas present in the form of two points, but to do so they must make one final push and maintain their defensive intensity so that the home side cannot cause damage in attack.
