Fertiberia BM Puerto Sagunto will face ARS Palma del Río on 13 April from 18:00 at El Pandero. The match is part of the 25th league round, and their opponents will approach it as a genuine final, as it is the home side's last chance of survival.
Vicent Nogués' side arrive after the league break, recalling the first-round meeting, in which the red-and-whites had to work harder than expected to take both points against the Palma side. For the match, the Valencian coach has all his players available apart from Chernov and Chispi, who are suspended; Chispi will therefore be unable to play on his return to El Pandero. Despite the two important absences, the red-and-whites' objective is to fight until the end to secure an away win, move further clear of the relegation places and enjoy a more relaxed end to the season.
ARS Palma del Río, meanwhile, come into the match as league bottom side and have not won for months. The Andalusian team have concentrated all their efforts on this game in order to win and give their supporters something to celebrate. Coach César Montes commented that
"we are keen to end this very negative run" and hopes that his team
"will know how to play those final moments", as he expects another closely contested match.
In short, this is a high-voltage encounter between Fertiberia BM Puerto Sagunto and the competition's bottom side, but there can be no complacency, as the home team, backed by their supporters, will try to take both points and keep their hopes of survival alive.
