Fertiberia BM Puerto Sagunto have no time to rest as they prepare for their next fixture in Logroño

Fertiberia BM Puerto Sagunto have no time to rest. After losing 34-27 away to Gijón, the team managed by Patxi Martí are already preparing for tomorrow's match against Naturhouse La Rioja at the Palacio de Deportes de La Rioja, from 20:45, as there is a midweek league match this week corresponding to the eleventh round. Patxi Martí's team are wasting no time in preparing for their next league fixture against Naturhouse La Rioja. After failing to perform against Juanfersa Grupo Fegar, the red-and-whites will seek to cause an upset in Logroño and take advantage of the Riojan side having their minds focused on their European competition match. For this difficult game, Martí will be without the already-known absentee Sergio Berrios, while Sasa Dukic and Rubén Ruiz remain doubts until the last moment. Javier González “Jota”'s side, meanwhile, face the match somewhat jaded after overcoming Ángel Ximénez Puente Genil (20-26) and then Gorenje Velenje (34-31) in the Champions League in the same week. In addition, the Riojan team occupy second place in the table, so they will try to claim another two points at home to avoid losing ground to FC Barcelona, although Arrieta, Malasinskas and Masachs are carrying knocks ahead of the match, while Capote is already no longer at the club. In short, the red-and-whites want to forget their latest setback as quickly as possible and demonstrate their good play at Naturhouse La Rioja's home, and to do so they will have to give their all to cause an upset against the second-placed side.
