TM Benidorm faces REBI Cuenca this Saturday at 18:30, aiming to strengthen their position on home soil. The team has struggled to win at home this season, managing just a single victory in their own arena. They will play in the neighboring town of Altea because their regular venue is occupied.
TM Benidorm moves to Altea
Sergio Carballeira’s squad plans to break the recent skid by taking the game to the Garganes Pavilion in Altea, a short distance from their usual base. The move stems from a scheduling clash as the Palau hosts an international darts tournament, making Altea the convenient alternative for a crucial league match.
Pleasure
TM Benidorm looks to regain momentum in a match that could redefine their season. After ending a streak of poor performances with a victory at Puente Genil, the team briefly climbed back into form. That win marked a historic high for the club, with a season-best 39 goals in a single game, signaling a potential turning point in their offensive rhythm.
Carballeira will be without Argentine pivot Lucas Moscariello, who is loaned to Kuwait’s Qadsia SC to compete in the Asian Club Champions Cup. Pablo “Colo Vanstein” is listed as questionable due to an ongoing physical issue that has lingered since the Pan American Games.
The match is one of the most anticipated in the region, reflecting a strong local rivalry and solid ties between the two clubs. Fans are eager to see how the teams adapt under new constraints and whether Benidorm can translate past performances into a convincing result on the road.
one more point
REBI Balonmano Cuenca sits a point behind Altea in the standings, having endured a rough start to the season with several losses. Recently, the Cuenca team has regained its level of play and stepped up its performances in recent weeks, signaling a fresh push toward mid-table security.
“It is a very important match for us. We ended the bad series and the team is confident,” Carballeira explained. He noted that Benidorm had become indispensable in away games, collecting seven of their twelve points outside their home arena.
“This is something we need to start polishing. We have two home games now and we are approaching the first one. Cuenca is not in the best situation because they have suffered several losses and they recently played in Europe, but that is not the case for this match.” The Galician coach described Cuenca as a highly competitive side.
“We have to play the best game possible to win,” added the coach, who urged fans to travel to Altea and turn the pavilion into a pressure cooker. A victory would help consolidate the team in the upper midfield.
