Valencia Basket ends its stretch of away games on the court of EA7 Emporio Armani Milan
EuroLeague round 6
Miguel Ángel Polo
Valencia Basket men’s team closes a stretch of five away games out of their last six with a visit to EA7 Emporio Armani Milan (Thursday 23, 8:30 p.m., Unipol Forum, Deportes por M+) in a Round 6 EuroLeague matchup. The taronja side will look to turn around their fortunes in Europe’s top competition in a venue that has historically not been favorable to them. Although they won their first two visits against this opponent — both of which were played outside Milan — they have lost in each of their last four trips to the Forum.
It will not be an easy task for Pedro Martínez’s men, as this game will make him the second coach with the most games in charge of the men’s team, to impose their pace and offensive rhythm against the team that allows the fewest points in the competition and holds the second-best defensive rating overall.
The taronja coach will be missing only Yankuba Sima due to injury, leaving him with thirteen players available for the game. Valencia Basket enters this sixth round of the EuroLeague in 15th place with a 2–3 record.
