Liga Iberdrola Femenina | Preview of Matchday 6
Already played earlier this week with an advance EPlus CN Catalunya 6-20 Astralpool CN Sabadell and postponed to 11/21 the Santa Cruz Tenerife Echeyde-CE Mediterrani, this Saturday the following matches of Matchday 6 of the Liga Iberdrola Femenina will be played: Simalga Real Canoe NC-Zodiac CN At. Barceloneta (12:00), Assolim CN Mataró-CD WP Iruña 9802 (12:45), CN Sant Feliu-CN Sant Andreu (17:00), and CN Terrassa-CN Rubí (18:00).
Let's start with the match that will kick off this Saturday in Madrid (12:00). The tenth-placed Simalga Real Canoe, with two points, welcomes a Zodiac CNAB team that comes from a narrow 14-16 victory over Iruña in Pamplona. The Madrid team will seek their second win of the season after defeating Rubí on penalties in Matchday 2. The seafaring team aims to move up the table.
At Joan Serra in Mataró (12:45), Dani Ballart's team looks to get back to winning ways against newly promoted Iruña 9802. The Maresme team suffered a heartbreaking 8-9 defeat at home to Terrassa last week and also lost in the Champions League. On the other hand, the Navarre team wants to show a good performance at the home of one of the 'powerhouses' of the Liga Iberdrola.
At El Complex de Sant Feliu (17:00), one of the trending teams in this start, CN Sant Feliu, hosts the reigning Copa de la Reina and Supercopa Iberdrola champion, CN Sant Andreu. Clear favorites are Javi Aznar's team, who have a perfect record in the Champions League and 4/5 in Liga Iberdrola. But the team led by Bea Espinosa (who reunites with Aznar, whom she assisted at Sant Andreu) wants to give as much fight as possible.
Finally, at the Área Olímpica (18:00), CN Terrassa receives CN Rubí in a seemingly straightforward clash for Jordi Millán's team. The women from Terrassa come from a great victory at Joan Serra in Mataró (8-9) and are the only ones alongside Astralpool Sabadell with a perfect record of wins. The vallesanas team is coming from a loss against Sant Feliu.
