Hard test for the taronja unbeaten run in 7DAYS EuroCup at Zenit St. Petersburg’s court

Valencia Basket returns to the road to face one of the most complicated away games of this 7DAYS EuroCup Regular Season, the visit to the court of Zenit St. Petersburg (Wednesday 24, 7:00 pm, Sibur Arena, Teledeporte) in a match in which the provisional leadership of group C will be put into play and the taronja unbeaten run in this European competition will be put to the test. The team of Jaume Ponsarnau will seek to return to the path of triumph after seeing his winning streak broken by a one point loss vs. Barça Lassa in the Endesa League. And for that, the taronja squad will have to remain being one of the best defenses of the EuroCup against a rival with an enormous offensive potential and who recovers key players. Valencia Basket does not recover either Joan Sastre (acute back pain), Antoine Diot or Rafa Martinez, so he will present the same roster as in the last three matches for his first visit to St. Petersburg in European competitions. The taronja team currently occupies the lead of group C of the 7DAYS EuroCup with a balance of 3-0.
