Valencia Basket returns to La Fonteta in the Euroleague to face a rising ALBA Berlin

Valencia Basket returns to Fonteta after leaving behind with two wins and good feelings its last week of three consecutive away-games seeking to make its home debut in the current edition of the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague hosting ALBA Berlin (Thursday 27, 8:30 p.m., Fonteta, DAZN) in a match corresponding to the fifth round of the maximum continental competition.

 

In a match in which the German team will become the second team against which Valencia Basket has played the most times in European competitions (it will be their 14th matchup, with a balance of 10-3 in favor of the taronja team), the team Taronja will try to recover their good results against this rival at La Fonteta, since on their last visit in December 2020, they became the first German team to win from the Taronja fiefdom.

 

And the only one so far, with a favorable 22-1 win for the Valencian team at home against rivals of this nationality.

 

Coach Álex Mumbrú is keeping an eye on the evolution of the injuries of point guard Jared Harper and power forward James Webb III, who although they have already begun to work with the team, it will be difficult for them to play tomorrow against the Berliners. The Cuban Jasiel Rivero (left calf muscle rupture) and the long-term injured Martin Hermannsson remain as sidelined.

 

Valencia Basket begins this rouns located in the 13th position with a 1-3 in the standings.
