Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto seek two more points of revival against Villa de Aranda

This Holy Saturday from 8.30 pm, with the Movistar + cameras broadcasting live, Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto face the season’s surprise package, BM Villa de Aranda.

Nikola Milos’s side face a major challenge in front of their loyal supporters. The Aranda side are enjoying a phenomenal season that has put them fifth in the table. Guided by an already well-established Jacobo Cuetara, the Castile and León team arrive at the Ovni having shown that they will not be easy to beat.

The arms of Moyano and Nantes, the reliability of left-hander Munoz, the league’s second-highest scorer after red-and-white player Corzo, and a well-rounded team at both ends of the court make this BM Villa de Aranda the most dangerous of all the previous Aranda teams, none of which know what it is like to win at the Ovni.

Opposing them are the red-and-whites, who, after the difficult spell in Leon, want to rediscover the form they showed in the second half of the season, when their performances lifted them out of the relegation places. The team know that these points are vital, since a Teucro defeat and a Valencian victory would create a five-point gap over relegation, allowing them to approach the two most difficult league matches for everyone, against Naturhouse and Barca, without urgency or anxiety.

As for absences, there are two notable omissions, one on each side. Cuetara will be without Brazilian player Oswaldo Maestro, while Milos has Lithuanian player Bernatonis sidelined.

Fertiberia’s assistant coach, Canary Islander Tiri Aguiar, said in the build-up to the match "We are aware of how difficult the match will be, as they are a very good team, but we know that if we do things properly and play in front of our supporters, we are capable of winning the match and approaching what lies ahead (Logrono and Barcelona) in a different way. The week of training has been very intense and we hope to take the points."

In short, another high-voltage clash in this exciting final stretch of the Bauhaus ASOBAL League.
