Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto face BM Atlético de Madrid

Fertiberia BM Puerto Sagunto will travel to Madrid next Sunday, 10 March, to face Balonmano Atlético de Madrid in a match corresponding to the 21st league matchday. It will take place at the Vistalegre Palace from 17:00 and will be televised by Teledeporte. Nogués’s men head into the match after losing at home to Reale Ademar León (23–30). In a match in which the Leonese side gained revenge after the away draw in the Copa del Rey that the red-and-whites had secured. For next Sunday’s match, Valencian coach Vicent Nogués has all his players available except Latorre and Chispi, with the latter expected to recover for next Wednesday’s home match against Naturhouse La Rioja. Meanwhile, BM Atlético de Madrid arrive after beating Fraikin BM Granollers away (25–30), under pressure to beat Berlin next Sunday in their Champions League tie. However, as pivot Edu points out, this must not make them forget the match against Fertiberia: ““It is clear that the Champions League tie is very important for us and that we are risking everything in that competition, but first we have to put in a good performance against Sagunto.” As for absences, BM Atlético de Madrid are no better off: Josep Masachs has a sprained left ankle and Miguel Sánchez is suffering from a bone oedema caused by a contusion to his left knee. Meanwhile, Nikolaj Markussen has been cleared to play, while Roberto García Parrondo is still recovering and is doubtful for the match. In short, this match pits Fertiberia BM Puerto Sagunto against another of ASOBAL’s big clubs. It is a red-and-white derby in which BM Atlético de Madrid start as favourites, but as they demonstrated in León, anything can happen.
