Fertiberia BM Puerto Sagunto face F.C. Barcelona in an uneven clash

Fertiberia BM Puerto Sagunto face F.C. Barcelona BM this Saturday at the Ovni, from 18:30, in what will be a mere formality for both teams, as the Blaugrana have already won the league title and the red-and-whites will try to cause an upset against the only unbeaten team in the competition. The match is part of the 28th league round. The red-and-whites go into the match after putting up a fight in Huesca but ultimately losing, which saw them drop to second-bottom in the table. Fertiberia’s prospects are not very encouraging ahead of the visit of the unstoppable F.C. Barcelona, who, having already won the league and Copa del Rey, continue to turn every match into a victory. Winning in Huesca would be an unexpected result for the team at the bottom of the table, which would move them away from relegation and give them some breathing space. For this reason, Patxi Martí’s men approach this fixture as an important training session to prepare for the final two league matches, in which Fertiberia will be fighting to remain in ASOBAL for another year. In addition, for this match they will be without injured player Sasa Dukic, who is already in the recovery phase, and goalkeeper David Bruixola, who will be unavailable for work-related reasons. The team managed by Xavi Pascual reaches the final stretch of the season with two titles already in its trophy cabinet and its sights set on the Final Four in Cologne. The Blaugrana will visit the red-and-whites’ ground with nothing at stake in the standings, but with the aim of reaching the important Champions League semi-final against SG Flensburg-Handewitt in the best possible condition. In short, Fertiberia have little chance of taking points from the champions, but the crowd will enjoy watching world-class players on the Ovni court.
