Valencia Basket hosts for the first time an AS Monaco that arrives as co-leader of the Euroleague

Valencia Basket returns to the Fonteta to put its good results to test, with four wins in the last five games, hosting one of the hottest teams on the continent, AS Monaco (Friday 11th, 9:00 p.m., Fonteta, DAZN/Movistar+ dial 64) in a game corresponding to the round 7 of the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague.

 

It will be the first time that these two teams meet in an official game, so the red and white team will became the opponent number 105 in Taronja's career in European competitions. And Monaco in the 27th different country from which Valencia Basket's rivals come from in continental tournaments.

 

The taronja team will have to try to take the ball from the team with less turnovers and recovers the most in a game that will mark Jordan Loyd's first return to La Fonteta after his time with our Club in the 2019-20 season.

 

Cuban power forward Jasiel Rivero has already returned to practicing with the group after missing seven games due to a muscle rupture in his left calf, although his participation in tomorrow's game is still in questionable. Sam Van Rossom (right knee) and long-term injured Martin Hermannsson will still both sidelined.

 

Valencia Basket begins this round located in the 10th position with a 3-3 in the standings.
