A couples final with a lot of hook

They have been the most regular combinations in the most even Couples of recent times and today (5:00 p.m.) they have the opportunity to put the golden climax to their brilliant performance. Altuna III and Martija face Laso and Imaz at the Bizkaia fronton for the txapela of the most demanding championship. After four months of hard work in which the strikers who were always faithful to the event in previous seasons have been left out, the summit clash has its hook.

The two strikers with the most pull so far this season meet again after the great taste in the mouth they have left in the previous clashes, due to the spectacle they have given and how close their disputes have been. Behind him will be two rocky defenders who lose very little ball and who have the complicated mission of preventing the explosiveness of the tenants of the truth boxes from fueling.

The data

Such ingredients have not gone unnoticed by the fans, who have responded perfectly and the stands of the Miribilla venue will present a practically full appearance. Yesterday there were barely 71 tickets left to complete the capacity of 3,000 that the Biscayan court has. It will be the first time after the pandemic that these figures have been achieved and they are good news for the ball.

The Colorados will start with a slight favoritism in the bets. The money will be awarded 100 to 80 for its color for the good moment that the striker from Amezketa has shown, above all, who has ahead of him the challenge of winning the only title that is missing from the three official handball tournaments. If he succeeds, he will be the eighth pelotari in history to achieve them at 26 years of age, the first from Gipuzkoa.

He has reached his tenth final with a spark so, with the quality he possesses, he needs to become the protagonist of the match so that the Aspe team come to fruition. Behind him will be Martija, a life insurance that grows as she enters the games and can be key when it comes to holding him. For Etxeberri’s it is his second top clash in this discipline, but the first he played and won alongside Ezkurdia two years ago did so without the support of the public, so it will be necessary to see how he manages the tension in such a hot environment.

quite similar

Laso has shown that, since he returned to professionalism last summer, he continues to grow. He has been planted in his second consecutive final because he has managed to combine his self-confidence with a much more solid physical preparation that has allowed him to express himself with much more forcefulness and confidence on the court. His game has hooked many followers and his greatest blow may be another of the keys to the match. Imaz is the perfect squire for it. It is his first match of these characteristics for the Oiartzun player, who up to now has shown a know-how that few expected. If he manages to temper his touch, he will have a lot to gain.

They are two fairly similar couples in their game, so it is difficult to predict where the match can break. The existing antecedents so far are favorable to those who will wear colorado, who won the two games of the quarterfinals league (22-21 and 22-15). Those from Baiko won the last semifinal with unexpected force (6-22), but by then their rivals were already qualified and their tension was not that of other occasions. The three commitments were played at Astelena in Eibar.

This time everything will be different, even the stage. The Biscayan court gives more time, so the strikers will have to look better for the angles to score goals, and the defender who best hits the ball against the wall can generate more opportunities for his teammate. The start of the clash can also mark it because if one of the two pairs takes advantage it can grow, and if it reaches cruising speed it will be very difficult to stop it.
