The Great Derby of the Plenitude League that will face today (19:00 hours, LALIGA+, Teledeporte and Esport3) Barça and Fraikin BM. Granollers will be the first opportunity for the blue team to conquer the title and proclaim themselves champions. The team led by Carlos Ortega leads the standings flawlessly, with full points (44) and victories (22) and wants to take advantage of the window of the Match of the Day to celebrate the championship in front of their fans at the Palau Blaugrana.

Barça could repeat the same script as last season when the Catalans collected a new league title coinciding with the visit of Granollers to Barcelona. The blue and reds have been champions, uninterruptedly, since the 2010/2011 campaign and today they will seek to add their 15º consecutive title, their 32º in total and the 24º since the birth of the ASOBAL League.

The leader's rival, Fraikin BM. Granollers, has become strong in the second place of the domestic championship thanks to a streak of four consecutive victories against Tubos Aranda Villa de Aranda (40-30), Ángel Ximénez Puente Genil (28-35), REBI Balonmano Cuenca (34-27) and BM. Logroño La Rioja (28-27). In the first round derby, the Vallesanos sold the defeat dearly at the Palau d’Esports (27-31).

Very aware of this duel will be the pursuers of Antonio Rama's team that present their candidacy to Europe. Bidasoa Irun (3º with 29 points) hosts today (20:30 hours) Viveros Herol BM. Nava at Artaleku; Bathco BM. Torrelavega (4º with 29 points) will visit tomorrow (17:00 hours) the track of REBI Balonmano Cuenca; Recoletas At. Valladolid (5º with 28p) will play in Logroño and ABANCA Ademar León (6º with 27p) will face at home Frigoríficos del Morrazo.
