Valencia Basket recovers its postponed game vs. Frutti Extra Bursaspor

Valencia Basket returns to compete two weeks after its last official game, recovering its 7DAYS EuroCup round 7 game (initially scheduled for December 15 and which was postponed due to the detection of Covid-19 positives in the team) facing Frutti Extra Bursaspor for the first time in his European history (Wednesday 6th, 6:30 pm, Fonteta, DAZN).

 

This will be the first game in which the capacity of the Fonteta is reduced to 50% due to the new security measures decreed by the health institutions, although all those season ticket holders who have not exercised the option to freeze their season tickets during the month of January are guaranteed their access to the game.

 

The postponement of his last two Endesa League games due to the positives of his rivals has given Joan Peñarroya a margin of preparation in which he has had most of his roster, although forward Víctor Claver still sidelined (injured in the left foot) and the taronja team announced on December 28 the positive of one of the members of the men's team.

 

There are no precedents of confrontations against this rival (which becomes the ninth Turkish team to visit the Fonteta in a European competition game and the 103rd rival of the Taronja team in continental tournaments) but our balance against rivals of this nationality at home is favorable with 13 wins and 4 losses.

 

Valencia Basket currently occupies the fourth position in group B of the 7DAYS EuroCup with 4-3 in the standings.
