Fertiberia BM Puerto Sagunto aim to halt BM Huesca’s upward trajectory

Fertiberia BM Puerto Sagunto welcome BM Huesca tomorrow from 18:30, after earning a draw away to Naturhouse La Rioja, but Patxi Martí’s team face the difficult challenge of stopping the Huesca side’s fine run. Patxi Martí’s team are looking to make the Ovni a fortress and avoid giving away the two points against the surprise team of the first half of the season. After their performance in Logroño, the red-and-whites regain several players who had been injured, including Sergio Berrios, the squad’s only former full Spanish international, who will play again after recovering from the knee ligament injury he suffered in April last year. Berrios is a major reinforcement thanks to his versatility as a winger and back, improving the Valencian team’s rotation. Michael Apelgren will also be available after missing the previous match. Martí’s only doubt is captain Rubén Ruiz, who is not yet 100% fit. For their part, Jose Francisco Nolasco’s side approach the match in very high spirits, having gone six matches unbeaten and sitting second in the table with 17 points. The Huesca team want to justify their status as favourites and avoid being surprised by the red-and-whites’ intensity and speed. In short, the red-and-whites want to overcome this team, but to do so they must defend well, count on support from their goalkeeper and rely on their fans.
