AtticGo Elche and Elda Prestigio face off on Guerreras League Iberdrola’s ninth round this Wednesday
AtticGo Elche extended its push in the Guerreras League Iberdrola with a solid road win over KH Granollers, while Elda Prestigio came up short on their home court against Conservas Orbe Rubensa Porriño.
Franjiverdes demonstrated their authority early, maintaining control throughout the match even when Granollers threatened a comeback. The opening minutes set the tone as Elche built a steady lead, opening a 13-1 gap at one point before the teams settled into a more measured pace. By the midway point, the scoreboard showed 18-21, signaling a tense contest as Granollers sought to close the distance. In the final stretch, Elche tightened its defense and leaned on a cooperative effort from the squad, pulling away to win by five goals as the final whistle blew.
With this result, AtticGo Elche solidifies its place near the top of the standings, remaining in the hunt with Bera Bera and Costa del Sol Málaga, the other two heavyweights in the league. The trio sit tied at the upper end of the table, each carrying a robust 16 points and a chance to claim the season’s title.
In contrast, Eldenses faced a tougher night in Porriño, unable to recover after a strong early push. A draw quickly shifted into a deficit as Porriño gained momentum and led 14-19 at halftime. The Galician team then extended its advantage after the break, concluding the match at 23-31 in favor of Porriño, a result that underscored the visitors’ efficiency on both sides of the court.
With this loss, Chema Vives’ Eldas side dropped to the bottom half of the standings, collecting only a couple of points. The team now finds itself in a fragile position as it eyes the remaining rounds to stabilize its campaign and turn its fortunes around. The challenge ahead will be to blunt the momentum of the league’s front-runners while rebuilding confidence across the squad.
In summary, the ninth round highlighted contrasting trajectories: AtticGo Elche continuing to push upward through disciplined defense and cohesive team play, while Eldas Prestigio faced a sobering reality on the road, needing a strategic reset to climb away from the bottom of the standings and into the contention that mid-season form usually promises.
