Fertiberia believe they have a chance to score points in Cuenca

Vicent Nogués: we are confident that we can put in a good performance, stand up to them and try to find the opportunities that will surely arise

Fertiberia Balonmano Puerto Sagunto face Incarlopsa Balonmano Ciudad Encantada on Saturday 27 March at 8.00 pm. The match, which will be played at the El Sargal Municipal Pavilion, is part of matchday 25 of the Liga Sacyr ASOBAL, and the team will travel to Cuenca hoping to pick up a point or two to make last Saturday's draw against Ángel Ximenez Puente Genil worthwhile. The match, which will have a capacity of 300 spectators, can be watched live on the La Liga Sport TV app or on the Asobal website, in the live matches section.

The red-and-white coach, Vicent Nogués, says that Saturday's match in Cuenca is a ‘difficult challenge on a very challenging court, but I think we are in good form and have to try to keep moving forward, and that means continuing to pick up points. It is one of the most difficult venues in the Asobal League, and now spectators are allowed in again, so it will not be easy. However, if we defend well and put in a serious attacking performance, we will have our chances. We have the full squad together again, everyone is training very well, and we are confident that we can put in a good performance, stand up to them and try to find the opportunities that will surely arise’.

Regarding the opponents, the Fertiberia Balonmano Puerto Sagunto manager says that ‘Cuenca are a very tough defensive team, very solid, and they break forward very well on the counter-attack. They also have a very good goalkeeper, which makes them very dangerous. In attack they have plenty of outside shooting, with two high-quality players such as Pizarro and Simonet, who can produce surprises at many moments and make every move they create very dangerous. They also have a very effective second line, both the two pivots and the left and right wings’.
