Fertiberia aim to beat Nava and make a major leap up the table

Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto Handball face Viveros Herol Nava on Saturday 27 February at 18:30 at the Municipal Sports Pavilion. Nogués’s side want to remain unbeaten in the second half of the season by beating a direct rival, also newly promoted, whom they failed to beat either last year or in the first-round match. Tello will miss the match through injury, while Dija’s inclusion is in doubt after suffering discomfort during the week.

Coach Vicent Nogués said, ‘The Nava match is a game from our league. In terms of results, the team is in a good moment, and we want to continue this positive run by winning in Nava. Victory would give us a major leap up the table and move us away from the bottom. They are the only team we have not managed to beat in two years. It is the last opportunity we have this season, and we want to put that right.’

‘Nava know us very well and have key players such as Casado and Rodrigo. At home, they are a team that feels very comfortable. They usually play very good matches there. They will not make it easy for us; we have to stay in the game and maintain a competitive performance until the end, then try to bring back a positive result for us,’ Nogués explained regarding the opponents.

‘We are travelling with the intention of winning and giving some joy to the many supporters who will make the trip to Nava this weekend to cheer on the team,’ the red-and-white coach concluded
