Atticgo Balonmano Elche is aiming to climb back to the top by taking on Navarrese side Beti-Onak this Wednesday at 20:00. The leadership of the Women’s Pride Division could be shared by Elche and Caja Rural Aula Valladolid. One team has two more points but also one more game to play.
Joaquín Rocamora’s group wants to enter the decisive clash against Super Amara Bera Bera on October 7 at home with a full set of wins. The coach explains that the early victories were hard earned, and the plan now is to approach the Bera Bera game undefeated. To achieve this, the team must win both Beti-Onak and Gijón in the current week, a challenge described as far from easy, with a focus on taking it one match at a time.
On Wednesday, Atticgo Handball will face an opponent who controls the tempo well. The message from the coach is clear: hard work and high-quality play will be required against Beti-Onak.

Keys to the match
When asked about the keys to victory this Wednesday, Rocamora emphasizes maintaining control of the game tempo and avoiding a pace that becomes too slow. Beti-Onak monitors game times closely and uses well-structured attacks. The team must remain calm and show efficiency in goal, adapting to Beti-Onak’s two distinct goalkeepers.

The coach adds that the team performs well in goal and enjoys good physical balance, with solid command of special moments of play. Though there are no major issues, a thoughtful approach is needed to keep performing at a high level.
