Extremely tough test for Valencia Basket and the Roig Arena with the visit of Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade 

Valencia Basket men’s team opens a stretch of three consecutive home games within a five-day span by hosting the team with the best recent results in the competition, Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade (Friday 21, 9:00 p.m., Roig Arena, Movistar+ Plus) in a matchup corresponding to Round 12 of the EuroLeague. The taronja team will need the support of its fans—whose presence in the stands has made them strong at home—to face the tough challenge of taking on an opponent that has won eight of its last nine games in continental competition.

Although the Serbian team is the opponent against whom Valencia has the worst EuroLeague record among those they have faced more than once (2–9 in favor of the visitors), recent results show that the Valencia side has won two of the last three EuroLeague meetings at home against the red-and-white squad, and the overall record in European competitions leans toward Valencia (4–3).

Coach Pedro Martínez will have his full roster available for this game. Valencia Basket began this round in eighth place in the EuroLeague with a 6–5 record.
