Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto aim to continue their positive run in Santander

 Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto face BM Sinfín in Santander

 Their unbeaten start to the season has boosted Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto’s confidence, and they want to keep collecting points in this league of two matches per week. The team have been travelling since 3 pm on Friday, having had only Thursday’s training session to fine-tune their plans and get to know the Santander side. Something similar will happen again, as Movistar + have decided that the Fertiberia–León match will complete the trio of fixtures they are showing next Wednesday. Thus, four matches in twelve days make up the opening marathon for this Fertiberia side.

But returning to the third challenge, opponents BM Sinfín, although they have not yet picked up a point, naturally aspire to become the first team to beat the red-and-whites at the legendary Albericia in front of their own supporters, while also getting their campaign under way. Fertiberia lost there last year in the final match of the first half of the season, with a squad that witnessed the resignation of their then coach, Pachi Martí.

Nikola Milos’s side arrive in a vengeful mood after the last-gasp draw against Villa de Aranda, when victory had been within reach. Nevertheless, the dressing room are convinced they can continue along the same path on which they began the season, with defensive work crucial to achieving a good result. In statements to the red-and-white club, Pocholo said “we are in a very good run of form, especially defensively, and we know that if we defend as we have so far, it will be difficult for anyone to beat us”

As for absences, the Santander side will be without their pivot Lon, while at Fertiberia, Toni Alegre’s work commitments remain an issue and he will not be available.

The match is scheduled for Saturday at 6.00 pm, with Peñaranda and Yague officiating.
