Fertiberia BM Puerto Sagunto aim to break the León curse

Fertiberia BM Puerto Sagunto face ABANCA Ademar León at León's Palacio Municipal de los Deportes this Saturday from 18:00. After beating Fraikin BM Granollers, the red-and-white side travel intending to break their curse of never having won at the León venue. In their four league visits, the Valencian side have never managed to take points from the always difficult León court. They were only able to draw in a Copa del Rey tie, in the year they made history by qualifying for the Final Four held in Logroño. It is therefore a good opportunity for Patxi Martí's men to build on the positive impression from their last match at the Ovni, collect points and secure safety definitively. Fertiberia will be without Víctor Álvarez and Toni Alegre, who continue to recover from their injuries. Moreover, the red-and-whites will not be alone, as around a dozen Marea Rojiblanca supporters will travel to León to back the team in the final stretch of the championship. ABANCA Ademar León, coached by Dani Gordo, arrive for the match in seventh place with 27 points and have not lost any of their last four games. The León side hope to keep alive their slim chances of reaching the European places. Ultimately, Fertiberia want to end this record for the first time, provided the red-and-white players are accurate at the key moments of the match.
