Valencia Basket is looking to seal its ticket to the Playoffs in La Fonteta vs. Joventut Badalona

Valencia Basket men's team returns to La Fonteta in the first of the three opportunities it has to add the win needed to achieve its 18th consecutive classification for the Endesa League Playoffs by facing Joventut Badalona (Saturday 4, 20: 45 hours, Fonteta, Movistar+ Deportes) in a acb round 32 game.

 

Last week the taronja squad suffered their first defeat in national competition since the arrival of stay in the race for fourth position which gives a home-court advantage in the series for the title.

 

In its favor it has the history of confrontations in Fonteta against this rival (26-8) and the victory in the last two games at home, although the first leg game ended with a green and black triumph.

 

With point guard Kevin Pangos recovered from his muscle injury in his left leg and already back in training, the only confirmed absence is that of the long-term injured Boubacar Touré.

 

The Taronja coach will have to make three technical discards of non-Spain-raised players in the preview, one of them necessarily one of the Americans.

 

Valencia Basket begins this day in seventh position in the Endesa League with a balance of 19-12.
