Tough test for Valencia Basket on the Olympiacos Piraeus' court

Valencia Basket opens a week in which it will face a tour with two consecutive away games visiting the court of the best offensive team in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague so far, Olympiacos Piraeus (Friday 4, 8:00 p.m., SEF, DAZN/ Movistar+ dial 65) in a top-European competition round 6 game.

 

The taronja team will fulfill the only ritual that it has carried out in all its participations in the EuroLeague, since the Greek team's court is the only one that has always been on its roadmap in its seven appearances so far.

 

And although he has a negative balance of 2-4, in the last precedent the taronja squad won for the first time at the Peace and Friendship Stadium (the first victory was at the Koridallos Sports Hall) by 85-96.

 

Regarding his last continental commitment, coach Álex Mumbrú recovers point guard Jared Harper and power forward James Webb III has won some playing time, although Sam Van Rossom is sidelined due to some discomfort in his right knee and the Cuban Jasiel Rivero (left calf muscle rupture) and the long-term injured Martin Hermannsson still sidelined

 

Valencia Basket begins this round located in the 12th position with 2-3 in the standings.
