Match Report
Granollers BM saw off Hornos Alicante 41 to 31 in the ASOBAL League on 26 September 2026. The visitors had already established themselves as the stronger side early on, sitting fourth with four points from two games while their hosts languished seventh on two.
By then the pattern was clear enough. Granollers took control of the tie from the opening exchanges and never looked back, running away with a ten-goal margin that reflected their superiority. Hornos Alicante had shown promise in their previous encounters — a win and a draw — but this time they played the second half a man down on hope.
And here's the thing, we had called this one in advance. Our prediction pointed toward a Granollers victory at 56 per cent confidence, and the result vindicated that assessment without any fanfare. The away side simply executed what they set out to do.
What changed the complexion was Granollers' consistency. They had won both opening fixtures — 27-24 against Puerto Sagunto and 38-34 versus BM Morraso Cangas — and carried that momentum into Alicante. Hornos, meanwhile, had dropped points in their most recent outing, losing 29-35 to Caserío Ciudad-Real, and the result against Granollers confirmed their struggles.
The table tells a straightforward story now. Granollers sit four points clear of the mid-table pack, while Hornos remain tied on two points with others but have played the same number of games. One defeat in two matches for the hosts puts them in a position where they cannot afford further setbacks.
