A record-breaking Viveros Herol Nava will host the Match of the Round.

The team led by Álvaro Senovilla is enjoying a spectacular start to the season in the Plenitude League with a scoring record after the first five rounds. The naveros are comfortably in fourth position, with 7 points in their locker, and only 1 point off the lead shared by Barça, Granollers and Torrelavega.

The Segovian team will act as host in the chosen Match of the Round of the sixth round of the elite in which the Guerrer@s Naveros Pavilion will dress up to receive, on Sunday at 7:30 p.m., the visit of the current champion Barça. The clash will be broadcast on the LALIGA + App and, on free-to-air, on Teledeporte.

The locals debuted in the championship with a narrow defeat against Helvetia Anaitasuna (28-27), but have bounced back with victories against Recoletas At. Valladolid (38-33), BM. Logroño La Rioja (30-31), Tubos Aranda Villa de Aranda (31-34) and a draw against Ángel Ximénez Puente Genil (32-32). Barça will visit Nava with a full house of league wins (4/4) and in the EHF Champions League (5/5) after beating HC Zagreb away (29-31).

Álvaro Senovilla – Coach of Viveros Herol BM. Nava

“We face the game with the usual idea, to do things as best as possible with what we have prepared during the week and being as honest as possible with ourselves and our work. We are happy to be in a competition where we can compete against the European champion”.

“Against Barça you can't plan to win the whole war because in the end they have a lot of potential, they have a very high competitive level and they have very high level players. We have to try to beat them little by little in small things and try to make, in the balance, little by little, things fall on your side. The team is doing well, continues to evolve, continues to compete at a good level and continues with enthusiasm and illusion. We believe that we are not in our best version and that is also important for a coach, to see that his team has ambition and desire to work and improve”.
