Valencia Basket looking for its best-ever start in the Euroleague vs. Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv

Valencia Basket returns to Fonteta to repeat its commitment in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague three days after its triumph vs. Panathinaikos OPAP Athens, in this case to host Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv (Friday 20, 9:00 p.m., Fonteta, DAZN) in a game corresponding to the tenth round of the maximum continental competition.

 

The taronja team has already matched its best-ever start in the Euroleague but has a chance to get six wins in its first nine games for the first time in this tournament. Coach Jaume Ponsarnau recovers the participation of Sam Van Rossom, who missed Tuesday's game due to a sore left knee, but maintains Joan Sastre and Vanja Marinkovic as long-term injured.

 

Valencia Basket will try to balance its particular balance against a rival that it beat only in one of its three previous visits to Fonteta. The Valencian team begins this tenth round in the fifth position of the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague with a 5-3 in the standings.
