New derby with second place at stake

Fertiberia Balonmano Puerto Sagunto face another Valencian Community derby this weekend, this time against Fundación Agustinos Alicante, on Saturday from 18:30 at the Port de Sagunt Sports Hall, in a match corresponding to the twentieth round of the Men’s Silver Honour Division.

The red and whites come into the match after defeating Anaitasuna 25–24 in the previous round, a victory that means they have won every match played at home so far. They are currently second in the table with 30 points.

Their opponents will be Fundación Agustinos Alicante, precisely the team chasing the Port de Sagunt side in the table, as they occupy third place, also with 28 points. The Alicante side are enjoying a good run, with six victories in their last six matches. Their most recent fixture was against Barça Atlètic, which they won 31–26.

In the first-leg match, played at the San Agustín School Sports Hall, better known as La Catedral, the two points stayed at home after a 27–21 victory for the hosts.

In the event of victory, the Valencians would strengthen their hold on second place, while an Alicante win would see them move into that position, thanks to their superior goal difference.

It will be a very special match, as it will be held on the day of one of the club’s sponsors (Kia), and our official shop will be present. Supporters wishing to buy tickets to attend the match can do so in person or through the club’s website. The price will be 12 euros for purchases made before Saturday: https://www.cbmpuertosagunto.com/entradas/.
