Atticgo Club Handball faces Elche at seven o’clock in the evening on Friday, December 16, at the Esperanza Lag pavilion, a crossroads clash in the Iberdola Warrior League. The match pits Joaquín Rocamora, a standout in the standings with six points and sitting in ninth place, against a hopeful Elche side seeking to turn momentum into a climb up the table.
The Elche squad has shown an uneven start to the season, advancing through the third round of the EHF European Cup while dealing with injuries that have disrupted their rhythm. Their objective is clear: keep winning to solidify a top position in the regular league, and build consistency as the campaign unfolds.

Results in the league
Rocamora’s team holds two wins and two draws across eight league games, with their upcoming opponent having drawn in a single league fixture thus far. La Rioja has posted 172 goals for and 239 against, while the Franjiverdes have produced 182 goals and conceded 194.
A victory for the Atticgo Balonmano Elche players would push them up at least one place, as Gurpea Beti-Onak and Motive.co share points with Gijón after their fixtures today. The Elche squad cannot overlook this chance to seize control of the league standings, aiming to strengthen the foundation of the season and secure a path toward European qualifications.
