Valencia Basket finishes the Regular Season in La Fonteta hosting the leader Real Madrid

09/05/2024

Valencia Basket men's team faces its last home game in the Endesa League Regular Season hosting the competition leader, Real Madrid (Friday 10, 9:00 p.m., Fonteta, Movistar Plus+) in an acb round 33 game.

 

After sealing its presence in the Playoff last week, the Taronja team has the opportunity to achieve the best possible position for the qualifying series for the title, being able to finish in any position between third and eighth.

 

The options are so open that the Taronja team would not necessarily guarantee being in the Top 4 by winning the two remaining games in the Regular Season and could finish fourth by winning only one.

 

In a new edition of the most repeated game by Valencia Basket in its acb history, Xavi Albert's men will oppose their dynamic of five wins in a row at La Fonteta in acb against one of their longest negative streaks: they have not won an Endesa League Regular Season against the white team for more than eleven years.

 

With the absence of the long-term injured Boubacar Touré and Brandon Davies questionable due to the discomfort in his right knee that made him miss last week's game, the Taronja team will have to leave three of its players non-Spain-raised players out of the squad, one of them necessarily one of the Americans.

 

Valencia Basket begins this round in fourth position in the Endesa League with a balance of 20-12.
