Two direct duels for survival and a new chapter in the fight for second place.

The NEXUS ENERGY ASOBAL League enters matchday 25 with the fight for the top positions and the lower part of the classification red-hot. The competition outlines its last six assaults with alternatives and equality that characterizes every detail that makes up the ASOBAL show. Survival, as one of the two main focuses of what's left of the season, will have two direct duels this weekend. First in El Sargal, with REBI Handball Cuenca and Bada Huesca (Sunday, 6pm, LALIGA+) fighting for much more than two points at stake.

Lidio Jiménez's team wants to celebrate a victory in front of their fans again after falling this week against Barça in an advanced match of matchday 27. The Huesca team, with four points less and one above the 15th position, seeks to score a valuable victory as a visitor and break the triple tie at 15 points that currently exists with Viveros Herol BM. Nava and Frigoríficos del Morrazo. The Cangas team receives Tubos Aranda Villa de Aranda -with 17 points- on Sunday in a duel (7:30pm, LALIGA+) that will close the matchday and has final overtones, with a victory at stake that can equalize even more that fight to maintain the category in Spanish handball.

In that scenario, Cajasol Ángel Ximénez P. Genil and SANICENTRO BM. Guadalajara have their particular mission to sign the two points against rivals from the noble area of the classification. Toni Malla's pupils receive Bathco BM. Torrelavega (Saturday, 5pm, LALIGA+), who is playing to end second this matchday and Juan Carlos Requena's team will try this afternoon to achieve a soothing victory on the court of ABANCA Ademar León (Friday, 8pm, LALIGA+). Viveros Herol BM. Nava, for its part, also receives Barça this Friday (8:30pm, LALIGA+), already champion after mathematically lifting the title last weekend.

The competitiveness also moves to the top positions. IRUDEK Bidasoa Irun, two points behind the second position, receives HORNEO BM. Alicante (Saturday, 6:30pm, LALIGA+) after winning last week on the court of Dicorpebal Logroño La Rioja. The aspiration of Álex Mozas's team to continue with the upward trend to dream of the runner-up against the obligation of Roi Sánchez's team to sign two points that practically ensure their survival.

Logroño will continue to defend its second position tooth and nail. It will do so this matchday at Quijote Arena, against a BM. Caserío Ciudad Real (Saturday, 5:30pm, LALIGA+) with 22 points, in great shape and practically with its duties done to be a team of the NEXUS ENERGY ASOBAL League next season. The 'Match of the Day' will complete the picture of the very equal struggle at the top of the competition. Fraikin BM. Granollers seeks to overcome Recoletas At. Valladolid (Sunday, 12:30pm, LALIGA+) and return to the path of victory to have options to end the weekend occupying the second position.
