New test for Alser BM Puerto Sagunto

Tomorrow, Alser BM Puerto Sagunto will have the chance to make up for their bitter defeat against Quabit Guadalajara at their favourite venue, the Ovni. From 20.15, they will face European opposition in a fixture brought forward because of the European Cup Winners’ Cup commitments, a competition in which Amaya Sport San Antonio of Pamplona are involved.

The Navarrese side, with a revamped squad featuring plenty of talented young players, are travelling to Puerto de Sagunto intending to put their second-half start back on track, as it has been much weaker than their exceptional first half of the season. They were undoubtedly one of the surprises of the Liga Asobal, since the significant changes to their squad suggested a longer transition for the players managed by old rival Juanto Apextchea, who knows the home atmosphere perfectly from his visits in recent seasons while managing Helvetia Anaitasuna.

Players such as Gedeón Guardiola, Urdiales and Mindegia are the weapons this young side brings. They are established in the comfortable part of the table and continue to keep a very close eye on Europe.

For the home side, and pending Goran Dzockic’s final squad selection, the most important thing is for the team to regain the attitude and good play they showed against CAI and learn from the mistakes made in their most recent match against the Alcarreños.

With a very demanding home schedule, they must quickly collect every possible point, whoever the opponent, so as not to lose ground on the relegation places.
