Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto want to keep adding points against BM Villa de Aranda

Tomorrow, Wednesday, at 20:15, Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto will make their Ovni debut in the 2016–2017 Liga Asobal against BM Villa de Aranda.

After winning in Cangas and putting in a great performance, Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto want to consolidate those feelings tomorrow in front of their supporters by securing victory against Villa de Aranda at the Internucleos Ovni. The good feelings from the victory over Frigoríficos Morrazo (27–37) must be confirmed in the first home match.

Nikola Milos will have just one doubt for the match: Toni Alegre. The young academy player could miss the game for work-related reasons, although this has not yet been confirmed.

The red-and-white board expects the Ovni to be well attended despite the match being played midweek, which always reduces attendances at the red-and-white club's venue. In this regard, Carlos Argente, the red-and-white club's vice-president for communications, stated that "the Ovni is a key part of our plans. The supporters were very worried by the team's poor performance in August, but the great victory in Cangas has revived their faith and belief in the group." And in sport, everything changes with the results, and now the Ovni will surely be a difficult venue for the opposition.

Their opponents, BM Villa de Aranda, come off a hard-fought victory over Bidasoa Irun at home and arrive at the Ovni with a squad that is almost unrecognisable compared with last season. The Aranda rebuilding has been very extensive. The departure of Jacobo Cuetara, who had led the team to their best season in Asobal, together with the key players from that 2015–2016 campaign, makes Villa de Aranda a genuine unknown in terms of their performance this season.

In addition to the already mentioned departure of manager Cuetara, no fewer than 10 more players have left, including the team's entire backbone, from goalkeeper Rangel to pivots Peciña and Part, as well as centre-back Cakic, marksman Dos Santos and left-hander Canyigueral. The new arrivals combine experience with youth, such as the return of Iker Antonio and the powerful arms of Nantes and Moyano, along with the signings of emerging young talents such as goalkeeper Ledó and junior international centre-back Adrián Fernandez. Young Valencian pivot Carles Montrull is also part of the Aranda side. A much-changed team that will surely give the Valencians plenty to think about on this Wednesday afternoon, and will seek something that has eluded them: taking points at the Ovni, something they have not done in any of their previous Liga Asobal meetings.

In short, this promises to be a thrilling match that will assess both sides' capabilities with so little recovery time.
