ABANCA Ademar León and Frigoríficos del Morrazo open Matchday 3 with the 'Match of the Round' in the Liga NEXUS ENERGÍA ASOBAL

Matchday 3 of the Liga NEXUS ENERGÍA ASOBAL kicks off this Friday with the ‘Match of the Day’ at the Palacio Municipal de los Deportes Urbano González, which will face ABANCA Ademar León and Frigoríficos del Morrazo (7pm, RTVEPlay, Eurosport and ASOBAL TV). A clash between two teams looking for their first win of the season, further raising the level of parity that has marked the early stages of the professional competition.

Luis Puertas’ side relies on the effectiveness of the top scorer in the overall ranking, Gonzalo Pérez Arce, who continues to break scoring records after netting 14 goals from 15 attempts last week. The Cangas team aims to replicate the feelings and competitive level from matchday 2, confident in their ability to find solutions within a squad equipped with resources and players of different profiles. It will be a major opening act before one of the most exciting Saturdays of the first half of the Liga NEXUS ENERGÍA ASOBAL.

Fans of the best Spanish handball will be able to enjoy a lineup of five matches, starting at El Sargal, with REBI Balonmano Cuenca and Cajasol Sevilla BM. Proin under the lights (4pm, ASOBAL TV). Lidio Jiménez’s squad wants to build on their victory in León by adding two more points to climb the overall standings. The Sevilla side, meanwhile, will look to open their individual account in another chapter of their history.

The clash between Viveros Herol BM. Nava and Dicorpebal Logroño La Rioja (5pm, ASOBAL TV) will continue the excitement typical of the ASOBAL brand. The Guerrer@s Naveros will be more than ever a pressure cooker, aiming to drive their players to the first win of the season. The Riojan team, gradually picking up the pace from last season, promises not to make things easy, strengthened after taking two points from Sevilla last week.

The Pabellón Santiago Manguan promises to match the atmosphere that will be felt in León, Cuenca, and Nava by hosting a spectacular Tubos Aranda Villa de Aranda – IRUDEK Bidasoa Irun (7pm, ASOBAL TV, Eurosport 2). The Aranda side has shown in these first two weeks of the official calendar (a draw and a loss) that they have what it takes to contend for a place in the top tier of the standings. Their success will be closely linked to the strength of their home advantage, one of the great hallmarks of the professional competition.

From there, Álex Mozas’ players will try to stay at the top of the table, increasingly consolidating their play, based on a recognizable backbone, which has added various elements that promise to be differentiators. Mario Nevado is taking on the offensive responsibility at the start in Artaleku, with MVP performances like last week’s in O Gatañal.

Cajasol Ángel Ximénez Puente Genil and Bathco BM. Torrelavega will also face off this coming Saturday (7pm, ASOBAL TV). The Pontanos want to get back on the winning track and prove they have the talent and resources to set the pace in this Liga NEXUS ENERGÍA ASOBAL, especially with Dani Serrano and Pablo Simonet at the helm. The ‘Orange Squad’ will be a good test. Also with two points in the overall standings, Jacobo Cuétara’s side aims to continue progressing, gaining competition minutes to gel a renewed squad, which continues to count on Jakub Prokop and Isidoro Martínez as cornerstones.

The ASOBAL competition Saturday will close with HORNEO BM. Alicante and Fraikin BM. Granollers (8:30pm, ASOBAL TV, Siroko TV). One of the league leaders visits Pitiu Rochel, in the process of rebuilding the core structure of a fortress that wants to be a protagonist again in the national circuit. The ability to generate play from Juan Carlos Sempere against the scoring instinct of Pablo Urdangarín and Marcos Fis, the two members of the ‘ideal seven’ from the first two matchdays.

The Polideportivo Huerta del Rey will deliver the verdict in the last match of this week’s Liga NEXUS ENERGÍA ASOBAL. Recoletas Salud At. Valladolid, with a perfect winning record, hosts Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto (12pm, ASOBAL TV), who have returned to the top tier of Spanish handball hungry, with scoring ability and the capacity to make a difference. The home side will try to dominate the court through the interventions of Nagy, the best goalkeeper of the first two matchdays of professional competition, aiming for an excellent 6 out of 6 in their points tally. A challenge and another wall to break down for the team led by goalscorer Antonio Capitán, one of the great sensations of this first stretch of the season.
