A #CalderaTaronja to look for the best historical streak in the Euroleague vs. FC Bayern Munich

Valencia Basket men's team returns home after two consecutive away games to face the second game of a series of four games in eight days to host FC Bayern Munich (Tuesday 31, 8:30 p.m., Fonteta, DAZN) in a game corresponding to round 22 of the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague.

 

After seeing their winning streak cut to six on Sunday in Malaga, the Taronja team has the opportunity in this game to add five wins in a row for the first time in the top continental competition, as they currently have the best streak in the Euroleague (and have matched its own best ever in this tournament) with four straight wins.

 

With five confirmed sidelined players due to injury (Dubljevic, Van Rossom, Hermannsson, Rivero and Millán Jiménez are still out) and Klemen Prepelic, who missed Sunday's game due to a bruised left knee, as questionable, Álex Mumbrú's men will need La Fonteta to become a #CalderaTaronja more than ever to become the sixth player to help the team overcome all adversities and continue climbing positions in the Euroleague standings.

 

The precedents at home are favorable to the Taronja team, which has always beaten this rival in its three previous visits to La Fonteta. And at the start of the second leg in which they have the basket-average win for the momento with the rest of the teams the taronja squad already played, the team looks askance at the 97-92 defeat with 16 three-pointers scored by the Germans in the first leg game.

 

Valencia Basket begins this day located in the 9th position with a balance of 11-10.
