Valencia Basket will reunite with its fans at Roig Arena to host Joventut Badalona
Liga Endesa round 4
Miguel Ángel Polo
Valencia Basket men’s team will once again have the support of their fans after playing five of their last six games on the road, as they begin a four-game home stretch by hosting Joventut Badalona (Sunday 26, 6:00 p.m., Roig Arena, DAZN) in a matchup corresponding to Round 4 of the Liga Endesa.
The “taronja” team will face another side that remains unbeaten in domestic competition, in one of the most frequently played matchups in their ACB history — and for the first time at the Roig Arena. Although the black and green team broke their losing streak in Valencia in 2021, Valencia Basket has managed to win the last four meetings against this opponent on home court.
This clash is full of incentives, featuring the two best duos in the ACB in terms of efficiency (Thompson-Pradilla vs. Tomic-Rubio), and pitting the best three-point shooting team against the top two-point scoring team. Only one of the two sides will keep its undefeated record intact after the final buzzer.
With Yankuba Sima ruled out and uncertainty over how much captain Josep Puerto can contribute after missing the win in Milan due to gastroenteritis, Valencia Basket enters this fourth round of the Liga Endesa in second place with a 3–0 record.
