Valencia Basket opens a three home-games week at La Fonteta hosting Real Madrid

21/11/2022

Valencia Basket returns to Fonteta to open a series of three home games in a row hosting Real Madrid (Tuesday 22, 8:30 p.m., Fonteta, DAZN/Movistar+ dial 64) in a Turkish Airlines EuroLeague round 9 game.

 

The Taronja squad will try to become strong at home and maintain its good line of results at Fonteta in European competition to leave behind the feelings of last week in which they fell in Bologna and Tenerife. To do this, our team will have to take advantage of the support of its fans to find the shot accuracy has lacked in the last two games and prepare for a physical battle under the basket against an opponent who is the second best in the tournament in rebounds and the second team that fewer rebounds concedes to its rivals.

 

Friday's game will tip the balance of confrontations between these two teams in European competitions (currently tied at five wins for each team) although the Taronja squad has good precedents and so far has been able to defend its court in the two previous visits of the white team in the Euroleague Regular Season.

 

Although coach Mumbrú confessed in the pre-game press conference that the team does not arrive at its best physical moment by having some players who are playing with problems or without rhythm having just come out of injury, the only confirmed sidelined players at this moment are Millán Jiménez (left ankle) and the long-term injured Martin Hermannsson.

 

Valencia Basket begins this round located in the 11th position with a 4-4 in the standings
