Valencia Basket catches up on the Euroleague hosting Zenit St.Petersburg at La Fonteta

After finishing its first week of three games in December with two wins in the Endesa League, Valencia Basket will try to return to the winning path in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague by recovering the game of the fourth day against Zenit St. Petersburg (Tuesday 8, 9:00 p.m., Fonteta, DAZN) that was first given to him as won and later was postponed due to the cases of COVID-19 that the Russian team had on the date on which this game was originally supposed to have been played, on October 15 .

 

It will not be easy for an opponent who is the most uncomfortable visitor of this start of the competition and who has won all their official away games so far this season, seven, both in the Euroleague and in the VTB League.

 

In a game in which Fernando San Emeterio can enter the Top-7 of games played with the Valencia Basket jersey equaling Bernard Hopkins, the Taronja squad will maintain the same three absences that it has had in recent games: Louis Labeyrie, Vanja Marinkovic and Joan Sastre. The Valencian team returns to the fourth round of the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague in fourth position of the tournament with 7-4 in the standings.
