Fertiberia Puerto aim to win at home against Lanzarote

Toni Malla’s side will play on Saturday from 18:30 at the Pabellón Municipal Poliesportiu Port de Sagunt (18:30)

Fertiberia Balonmano Puerto Sagunto will play the match corresponding to Matchday 6 of the División de Honor Plata against Balonmano Lanzarote Ciudad de Arrecife next Saturday, 19 October, from 18:30. Toni Malla’s side want to win to continue challenging near the top of a tightly packed table. The match will be held at the Pabellón Municipal Poliesportiu Port de Sagunt and can be followed live on the ‘BMPuertoSagunto’ YouTube channel. 

The red-and-white team come into the match after two consecutive defeats against two sides near the top of the table, Burgos and  Agustinos, so they approach the match ‘With a great desire to return home after the defeats and with the intention of playing good handball. The lads are eager to work and reconnect with the supporters by putting in a good performance. We saw that the other day in Burgos, although obviously we are inconsistent because there are still many things we need to do. I think the team’s tactical understanding is becoming clearer every day.’, explains Toni Malla, coach of the Puerto Sagunto side.

Regarding the opponents they will face, Malla says ‘Despite having only two points, they can be a very dangerous opponent because they have a high-level coach. They play handball very well and have their attacking continuity patterns clearly defined, as well as shooters and a very complete team. Their absences may be affecting them, but we must put in a very serious performance if we want to win and collect points.’

‘I ask the supporters to come and get behind the team because they are working very well day in, day out. We are one step away from becoming more consistent in our play, but this Saturday, together with our supporters and playing at home, I believe we can achieve it.’, Malla concludes.
