Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto travel with optimism in their bid to beat Granollers

Following the international break, the Loterías Asobal league returns with a key match among the teams at the top of the table. The Granollers Sports Palace will host the clash between the league’s fourth- and fifth-placed teams. In their six seasons in the Asobal League, Fertiberia Balonmano Puerto Sagunto have never managed to beat Granollers at home, so tomorrow the red-and-whites will travel hoping to make history with their first victory at the Palace and move into fourth place, as there is only one point between the two teams. The red-and-white coach, Nikola Milos, stressed that “it will be a difficult match because Granollers have lost two matches and are obliged to win, but we are going with great optimism after our recent victories, with the whole squad recovered and ready to give everything”. The Valencians travel to Granollers having done their homework after recording three consecutive victories over Ángel Ximénez Puente Genil, Helvetia Anaitasuna and Bada Huesca, and with 11 points that place them fifth in the Loterías Asobal League. The team are making an excellent start to the season, thanks to the solid defence, David Bruixola’s effectiveness between the posts, good team play in attack, Pérez de Inestrosa’s direction of play, and Pozzer and Valencian Alfredo Sorrentino’s finishing. BM Granollers, for their part, arrive at the match after defeats against Ademar León and Bidasoa Irun, against whom Fertiberia recorded two draws. Despite this, it should not be forgotten that Carlos Viver has a squad designed for European competition, while the red-and-whites have more limited squad depth. The club have also stressed that they hope to halt the team’s poor run in the last two matches against the red-and-whites, and are relying on their supporters to turn the Granollers Sports Palace into a fortress. In short, the red-and-whites travel with all their resources, without fear and full of optimism for a highly interesting clash for fourth place in the Loterías Asobal League.
