Fertiberia BM Puerto Sagunto will play their third friendly tomorrow, Friday, at the Sargal, starting at 20:30, against an Asobal opponent, GlobalCaja Ciudad Encantada. It will be a special match, as the Cuenca side will face their Copa del Rey conquerors.
The team managed by Patxi Martí are halfway through their winter pre-season and come into this match after playing several games in which the team have made a good impression. One week after overcoming C.H. Alcàsser with a team made up mostly of academy players, the red-and-whites travel to Cuenca aiming to perform well and build up match fitness against a strong opponent. For this match, the Valencian coach will be without Carlos Grau, who suffered an injury to a finger on his left hand in the match he played for the Valencian Community team against the Saudi Arabia national team, and will therefore be out for approximately one month.
Meanwhile, this will be Zupo Equisoain’s team’s second friendly, as a few days ago they lost away to Top Ribera Villa de Aranda by a substantial 30–19. For this reason, the Cuenca side will seek to put on a better display in front of their supporters and secure victory against an opponent they know well from their league and Copa del Rey meetings.
