Second assault at the Palau Blaugrana to face FC Barcelona Lassa in the Endesa League

Less than 48 hours after falling in the Turkish Airlines Euroleague game in this same scenario, Valencia Basket repeated visit to the Palau Blaugrana to face FC Barcelona Lassa (Sunday 19, 18: 30h, # 0) in a match in which the taronja team will defend the co-leadership of the Endesa League and their perfect run as a visitor in national competition (four wins in their four starts so far).

 

Regarding that meeting on Friday, Valencia Basket lost in the call to the forward Alberto Abalde (with a strain in the distal insertion of his left quadriceps tendon) and center Bojan Dubljevic, who received a strong blow in the match of Euroleague that has produced a sternocostal contusion, is questionable. Antoine Diot and Latavious Williams still out too. The taronja squad has managed to take the victory of the Blaugrana fief in three of his last six visits in the Endesa League, although was defeated 89-71 in yesterday's game. Valencia Basket comes to this Endesa League week 9 as second placed, tied with the leader Real Madrid, with a balance of 7W-1L.
