Valencia Basket is looking to recover good feelings in the Fonteta vs. Casademont Zaragoza

Valencia Basket men's team returns to Fonteta after chaining two defeats for the first time this season and will seek to regain sensations with the support of its fans to face Casademont Zaragoza (Sunday 12, 5:00 p.m., Fonteta, Movistar Deportes 3 ) in an Endesa League round 9 game.

 

The Taronja squad will count on the push of its people to rise up from the tough defeat in Milan and put into practice again the virtues that have led Valencia Basket to win all the home games with its fans after the first round of the ACB.

 

Although the precedents are favorable (Valencia Basket have won in the last nine visits of the Zaragoza team and have won 15 of the 17 previous games in La Fonteta), the Taronja team will have to overcome the physical problems that accumulate mainly in the point guard position.

 

With Hermannsson injured for a long time, Chris Jones (sprained left ankle) and Stefan Jovic (stomach virus) are questionable, as is Bouba Touré, suffering from the same ailment as the Serbian point guard, who arrived from our rival on Sunday after winning the silver medal in the FIBA World Cup.

 

Valencia Basket begins this ninth round in third position with a balance of 6-2.
