ALBA Berlin's visit to La Fonteta, second challenge of the week for Valencia Basket

Valencia Basket returns home for its second game of the week after achieving two away victories on the Fenerbahçe Beko Istanbul and Barça courts with the aim of maintaining its good dynamics in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague hosting ALBA Berlin (Thursday 3, 21:00h, Fonteta, DAZN) in a game of round 12 of the maximum continental competition.

 

After marking its best start in this tournament, the Taronja squad now have a chance to match their best Euroleague streak ever if they manage to take its fourth consecutive win against the Germans. The precedents are favorable, since Valencia Basket has always won in the Fonteta not only this rival, but all the German teams that have passed through it in an official game.

 

In a night in which Jaume Ponsarnau will become the person with the most games coached in European competitions in the Club's history, Louis Labeyrie, Joan Sastre and Vanja Marinkovic still sidelined

 

The Icelandic guard Martin Hermannsson, despite the injury to his finger that he suffered at the Palau Blaugrana, has been able to exercise normally this afternoon and tomorrow will be available to face his former team for the first time since he arrived in Valencia this summer. The Valencian team begins this twelfth round in the third position of the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague with a 7-3 in the standings.
