Valencia Basket host the electrifying MoraBanc Andorra to close out the doubleheader at La Fonteta

Valencia Basket men's team will host MoraBanc Andorra to close out the doubleheader at La Fonteta (Sunday, 20th, 17:00h, Deportes 3 by M+) in a game corresponding to the fourth round of the Liga Endesa.

 

The Taronja team will aim to maintain their good shape, which currently stands at five wins in a row, against a rival that also arrives at La Fonteta with two straight wins in the ACB and the same record in national competition.

 

Although the historical results clearly favor the Valencian team, last season, the Andorran team was leading by ten points with five minutes left in La Fonteta and forced a late local comeback to keep the Taronja's winning streak against this opponent at home. In that game, Jean Montero stood out for the visitors with 19 points. The Dominican will face the team for the first time, with which he was the second-highest scorer in the Liga Endesa last season and was selected for the All-Liga Endesa Second Team.

 

Along with the confirmed absence of long-term injured Chris Jones, there is uncertainty regarding point guard Stefan Jovic, who is currently in his home country on leave from the Club for personal reasons.

 

Valencia Basket begins this fourth round in third place with a record of 2-1.
