Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto wants to be champions

Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto face UBU Burgos this Sunday at 12 noon, with the status of an Asobal team but one that the red-and-whites want to beat.
At stake is the División de Honor Plata title, no small achievement for a club that does not have too many titles and that would thoroughly deserve it for what they have achieved so far in 2022–2023.
Viveros Herol Nava can still overtake the red-and-whites in the table (they are separated by 3 points with 6 available), and Malla’s side need to secure top honours after already achieving an outstanding result.
As well as that incentive, the red-and-white supporters are still celebrating and, as this match in Burgos had been marked in red as the promotion fixture, a large-scale trip of around 200 supporters had been planned. Promotion has not diminished their desire to be at the El Plantío Pavilion this Sunday.
That is why Malla says that “although it is a day of celebration for us, we are going to compete in the match, because of the supporters’ effort and because becoming División de Honor Plata champions does not happen every day.”
For their part, UBU Burgos stopped thinking about Asobal several matchdays ago, but they are not going to give anything away. Malla says, “they are a great team and we already saw that they made things far from easy for us at the Ovni.”
The opposition includes familiar faces with distinguished red-and-white pasts, such as Toni Alegre and Iñigo Celorrio, as well as Plata’s top scorer, Igor Karlov, with a squad designed to fight for promotion and which will certainly try again.
