Valencia Basket returns to Roig Arena to host FC Bayern Munich

Valencia Basket men's team will once again enjoy the support of its fans 16 days after its last home game hosting FC Bayern Munich (Thursday 12, 8:30 PM CET, Roig Arena, #Vamos) in a EuroLeague Round 11 matchup.

After completing its road trip with three consecutive victories, the taronja side now has the chance to set a new club-best start to a EuroLeague season if it can secure another win. It was also a German team, ALBA Berlin, that denied Valencia an 8-3 start back in the 2020-21 campaign.

Although the head-to-head record at home against Bayern is favourable for Valencia, the team will need to slow down a Bavarian offense that ranks among the EuroLeague’s most efficient in two-point shooting if it wants to maintain the strong shape that has seen it win seven of its last eight games.

Valencia will also have to continue coping with its frontcourt injury issues, although Mo Gueye could return after missing the last three games with discomfort in his right foot. Nate Reuvers (left foot) and Nikola Mirotic (left adductor) remain unavailable.

Valencia Basket currently sits third in the EuroLeague standings with a 7-3 record.
