Test of maximum level to the Taronja momentum on the Virtus Segafredo Bologna's court

Valencia Basket opens a series of five games in eleven days with the first of its two consecutive away games, which will take the taronja squad to visit the Virtus Segafredo Bologna stadium (Thursday 17, 8:30 p.m., Paladozza, DAZN/Movistar+ dial 65) in a Turkish Airlines EuroLeague round 8 game

 

The Taronja team will put its good moment of results to the test, with five wins in the last six games, and its line as a visitor in the highest continental competition on a court that it is visiting for the third time in its European career, although it will be the first time in which these two teams meet in the Euroleague.

 

In the first reunion of the Valencians and Bolognese since the last season 7DAYS EuroCup semifinals that the Italians won, up to nine players from each team continue in the rosters compared to that game. Valencia Basket won the other two games of the previous season, including an epic comeback on the same stage as tomorrow's game that ended with a 96-97 win for the Taronja team.

 

To try to repeat, Álex Mumbrú's men will have to try to maintain their good attacking performance of the last few games against one of the best defenses in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague.

 

The Taronja team regains the presence in the squad of Sam Van Rossom and Jasiel Rivero already has a better training pace after entering the last list but not playing in the win against AS Monaco, so the thirteen available players will travel for the double commitment of this week. Millán Jiménez (left ankle) and the long-term injured Martin Hermannsson will be sidelined

 

Valencia Basket begins this round located in the 7th position with a 4-3 record.
