Valencia Basket opens its #NadalTaronja hosting MoraBanc Andorra

Valencia Basket men's team returns home after achieving three wins in a row as a visitor to open its particular Nadal Taronja with four consecutive games at Fonteta hosting MoraBanc Andorra (Sunday 17, 6:30 p.m., Fonteta, Movistar Deportes 2) in a Endesa League round 14 game.

 

The taronja squad will try to extend its good shape that has led it to chain four wins in a row with the wear and tear of the very tough game on Friday on the Olympiacos court but with the support of the good defensive exercises carried out in the last games.

 

In this match, Valencia Basket still has no mathematical options of getting a ticket for the Copa del Rey, but a victory against the Andorrans would bring that goal very significantly closer to that goal and would keep the taronja squad in the positions that give it the right to be seeded in the draw.

 

The precedents are favorable to the Taronja team, which has only lost once against this rival in La Fonteta and has added the win against this rival in the nine games since this club's return to the elite in the 21st century.

 

The infirmary remains full and although Hermannsson was able to play in Piraeus and could have his first minutes in Fonteta of the season, the small men rotation continues to be affected. Harper is out for a long time and it is difficult for coach Mumbrú to recover Semi Ojeleye or Xabi López-Arostegui for this game.

 

Valencia Basket begins this day in third position in the acb with a balance of 9-4.
