Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto seek their final away win of the season
Nikola Milos en grupo

Tomorrow, Wednesday, from 20:30 in the unified schedule, Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto visit the David Santamaría Pavilion to face its home side, BM Guadalajara.

Nikola Milos's team travel to Guadalajara with survival secured, but seeking other goals that are still within reach. These are goals shared with the Alcarreños, without a doubt their alter ego in the Liga Bauhaus Asobal. In addition to the equality between the two sides in the standings at present—the Valencians have 20 points and the Alcarreños, in twelfth, have 19—the lives of these two clubs have gone hand in hand since they both secured promotion to the División de Honor Plata in the phase held in 2008 at this very David Santamaría Pavilion. Both earned promotion in their second year in the Plata, and since the 2010–2011 season both have survived in Spain's top league with tight budgets, but with sound management behind the scenes and efficiency on the court.

With these foundations, neither César Montes's players seem willing to miss out on improving their position in the table and saying goodbye to their supporters with a win, nor do Nikola Milos's men look likely to ease off after proving a serious threat away from the Ovni to everyone who has faced them, with the exception of the big guns Naturhouse and Ademar, the only two teams to have beaten Milos's Fertiberia away from the Ovni. Giving anything away is in neither team's DNA, nor in that of their coaches. Therefore, whoever wants to take the two points will have to provide an extra level of competitiveness at a time when that is difficult to demand, with the league in its final throes and survival assured.

As for absences, Fertiberia remain without their long-term injured players Sayad, Berrios and Bernatonis. Although they are awaiting the Competition Committee's decision on Alfredo Sorrentino's straight red card from last Saturday, the fact that the match is being played this Wednesday guarantees that he will be available.

For BM Guadalajara, the legendary international goalkeeper Jota Hombrados and the young centre-back Víctor Montoya are doubts.

So this is the Valencians' final away match as they continue to aim for eighth place, which would be the best league finish in the history of the Valencian team in the Asobal league.
