FC Barcelona, very tough rival to try to recover feelings in Fonteta

Valencia Basket will seek to recover its best feelings to maintain its good start in the Turkish Airlines Euroleague in its game of the third round of the maximum continental competition against FC Barcelona (Tuesday 13, 9:00 p.m., Fonteta, DAZN) that will be sponsored by B the travel brand.

 

This clash that comes just two days after the defeat at home against Unicaja in the Endesa League, which opened a streak of three consecutive home games, although this time the Taronja team will be able to count on the support of a part of its fans, already that up to 400 people will be able to access the game as public.

 

It will be the third time that the Barça team visits the Fonteta for a Euroleague match, with a victory for each team in the precedents and the memory of the loss in the last play of last season. In this game, captain Bojan Dubljevic can play his 61st match in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague with Valencia Basket, a figure that would make him the player with the most games in the top continental competition with the taronja jersey.

 

The Serbian Vanja Marinkovic, already recovered from his back injury and who was already called up in the win vs. Real Madrid, awaits his moment to debut in the official season. The only confirmed sidelined player will be the guard Joan Sastre, who was injured for a long time due to a partial tear in the internal lateral ligament of his right knee. Valencia Basket currently occupies the second position of the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague standings, with a balance of 2-0.
