Fertiberia BM Puerto Sagunto wants a happy ending

Fertiberia BM Puerto Sagunto visit El Sargal to face GlobalCaja Ciudad Encantada this Saturday from 18:00. The match is the final league fixture, with both teams battling for ninth place in the standings. For the red-and-whites, the match is a relaxed one, with survival secured for another year and the sole challenge being to overtake the Cuenca side in the fight for ninth place. Whether they win or lose, the red-and-whites have achieved their best finish since 1970. Nogués's side have not forgotten how closely fought the first-round match was, ending in a 24–24 draw, and will travel hoping to pick up points on a difficult court like the one in Cuenca. The squad have trained together throughout the week, although Fernando Latorre and Mateu Castellà will be unavailable; Sergio Berrios's long-term absence must also be added to this list. The side coached by Zupo Equisoain, following last week's defeat against Academia Octavio, await Fertiberia knowing that it will not be easy to beat the red-and-whites: “since the pressure of relegation was lifted, they have been playing very well, as they showed in Cangas and against Villa de Aranda, whom they beat comfortably”. The match will also mark the farewell of several charismatic players who have grown at the club and now have other clubs and objectives. Therefore, this is a meeting between two rivals with similar trajectories, as they are now fighting for the same objective: to end the season with a victory.
