Fertiberia aim to win away from home again against Puente Genil

Fertiberia Balonmano Puerto Sagunto will face Ángel Ximénez Puente Genil on Saturday, 3 October, at 19:00. The red-and-whites will travel to Andalusia on Friday to play the match corresponding to matchday 7 of the Liga Sacyr Asobal. Vicent Nogués’ side want to secure their second consecutive away win against a team from ‘ ‘their league’.

Red-and-white coach Vicent Nogués believes the match comes at a good time after securing their first away win. He says the players are focused and eager to continue their positive run and that, with a good performance, they can return from the Alcalde Miguel Salas with the points ‘ It is an important match for us, as we are on a positive run after winning in Pontevedra against Cisne. It was a shame not to have played at home against Villa de Aranda, but the team are aware that if we play well in Puente Genil we can get something from the match’.

Regarding the opponents, the red-and-white coach said they have strengthened and are a dangerous side: ‘They are a tough team. They have added strength in defence compared with last year, have more options in attack, and I think the match comes at a good time for them. If we are not at 100%, we will get nothing. Juan Castro is one to watch, particularly his partnership with Javi García in two-on-two situations. The left-handers’ and left-wingers’ shots could cause our defence a lot of problems’.

‘I think that if we play a good match, we can get something in Puente Genil. We are on a positive run, we have many attacking options and, as of today, the team are defending very well. We have to do a good job. We know it will be difficult, but we can take the points home’, Nogués concluded.
