Fertiberia BM Puerto Sagunto face an all-or-nothing clash against Villa de Aranda Top Ribera

Fertiberia BM Puerto Sagunto face Villa de Aranda Top Ribera at the Ovni this Sunday from 17:00 in the most important match of the season, as the red-and-whites must win to avoid relegation. Fertiberia face their final league match as a winner-takes-all contest. In 60 minutes, the Valencian side will battle for what they have been unable to secure after twenty-nine rounds and, in doing so, bring their supporters the joy of survival. Patxi Martí's men will seek to win, which is their sole objective, and thereby avoid depending on the result achieved by Cuatro Rayas Valladolid. The red-and-whites therefore arrive fully focused on what will be the most important ‘final’ of the year. Fertiberia's only possibility is to win the match and, in a hypothetical three-way tie, the criterion for deciding relegation is the results between the three teams involved. The red-and-whites would top that mini-table after taking five points against their direct rivals. As for the team managed by Jacobo Cuétara, they secured survival two rounds ago and therefore arrive in Valencia with nothing at stake. The Ribera side have 22 points after completing a season that improved as it progressed and could finish level on points with Fertiberia and Cuatro Rayas Valladolid, but the Aranda team could not be relegated under any circumstances. Ultimately, the red-and-white squad will do everything possible to extend their five consecutive seasons in ASOBAL after a challenging year on the sporting front, with the results expected at the start of the league season failing to materialise. For this fixture, the crowd must be the eighth player so that Fertiberia BM Puerto Sagunto can achieve the desired victory and secure hard-fought survival.
