Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto travel to Barcelona to face the leaders

Fertiberia BM Puerto Sagunto travel to Barcelona next Saturday the 23rd to face the current leaders and reigning champions of the Liga ASOBAL, Barcelona Intersport. The match corresponding to the 19th round of the Liga ASOBAL will be played at the Palau from 6.30 p.m. The red-and-whites come into the match after losing at home to Caja3 BM Aragón (29-34), a result that ended their good run in matches played at the Ovni. Although it is a difficult match, they travel intending not to make things easy for the leaders. To that end, Valencian coach Vicent Nogués has three significant potential absences. His two senior goalkeepers, Bruixola, due to work commitments, and Pablo, due to lower-back pain, are joined by Latorre, who has tendinitis in his right shoulder. Barcelona Intersport, who remain unbeaten this season, come into the match after an away win against Academia Octavio (26-38). They will also have played a Champions League away match against Dinamo Minsk this Thursday the 21st, a match of little importance since the Blaugrana have already qualified as group winners. In short, a very uneven match between two teams with very different circumstances: the red-and-whites' aim of staying clear of the relegation places and Barcelona Intersport's aim of retaining the league leadership without suffering a single defeat.
