Fertiberia BM Puerto Sagunto face their sixth league match this Friday, from 20:15, at the iconic Artaleku arena against Bidasoa Irún, where they will look to continue their good progress after winning last weekend and thereby collect their first points away from home.
Patxi Martí’s side arrive after beating Helvetia Anaitasuna (28-25), with the red-and-whites showing their best performance and giving their opponents no chance whatsoever. During the week, Fertiberia prepared for this match with the aim of snatching some points against a direct rival in the battle for survival. For this reason, the entire squad travelled to Irún a day early, so that they would be more rested after the long journey, and will hold a short training session tomorrow from 12:00 to arrive at the match in optimum condition.
Meanwhile, the team coached by Fernando Bolea have suffered four defeats and one draw after five league rounds, on their return to ASOBAL. The Irún side face the match with three important absences: Álvarez and Iriarte, as well as Argentine player Vidal, who has finally undergone surgery for the fracture sustained to a finger on his left hand. Bidasoa Irún will therefore attempt to end their poor run and, with the support of their fans, overcome the Valencians.
In short, the red-and-whites will be seeking a second consecutive victory, while the hosts will attempt to gain some breathing space and move away from the danger zone of the table.
