This Saturday marks the last day of the regular phase of the Iberdrola Guerreras League – all matches are at seven o’clock in the afternoon –Atticgo Balonmano Elche or Conservas Orbe Rubensa will decide whether BM Porriño is in fourth place in the standings and therefore has the home factor in the playoff quarterfinals.

The team from Elche would do the same against Porriño if they win at home to Gurpea Beti-Onak Azparren and RoCasa Gran Canaria.The team’s coach, Joaquín Rocamora, said Atticgo would finish fourth in the league and “The home team will be in our favor in the quarterfinals of the playoffs against Porriño, it will be very important for us.”

What is clear is that Elche and Porriño will be vying for a place in the semi-finals and this opponent is a really hard nut to crack this season. All three games they played were very balanced. Two were in the opponents’ favor and one was in Elche’s favour, the Cup, which gave the Rocamora team the transition to the final stage.

Moreover, Gurpea Beti-Onak in this last regular league match against Azparren -They are in tenth place, 10 points less than Elche team with 13 points- Atticgo Elche’s fighters should put this difference aside on the table and think that you should not forgive in a very difficult area, with a great handball atmosphere. In the opposing team Villava (Navarra), a municipality with a population of around 10,000, “they are fully committed and when they play locally they throw a great party. It will be a difficult and beautiful match as we will be playing in a packed arena, which will be very useful for us to face the next commitments.

Gurpea Beti-Onak Azparren, In Rocamora’s opinion“One of the very nice surprises the competition has had this year. They have to play to avoid relegation, but they’ll have enough to win one or two out of six games to maintain the category, so they’re not playing against us as much as they used to.

For this match, the coach “cannot trust neither Danila So Delgado nor Ivet Musons because they are recovering from their injuries and we are at the expense of their evolution, but it is difficult for him to show up soon.”
