Valencia Basket seeks in the Euroleague’s closing beat Maccabi Fox Tel Aviv for the first time

Valencia Basket finishes its fourth participation in the Turkish Airlines Euroleague receiving Maccabi FOX Tel Aviv in the Fonteta (Friday 6, 20:30h, Fonteta, Movistar Deportes 2) in a game in which the team led by Txus Vidorreta will try to get their first win against this opponent in European competitions.

 

Without options to reach the Playoff positions, the taronja squad faces this game with two main objectives besides finishing the Euroleague giving a final joy to their fans: adding the victory to finish the second leg of the competition with positive balance and put a 12 in its box of victories, a result that together with others could make up Valencia Basket up to the tenth position in the final standings of the Turkish Airlines Euroleague Regular Season.

 

As endorsement to seek this victory, the taronja team presents a balance of six victories in its last eight home games in the Turkish Airlines Euroleague and a great accuracy from beyond the three-point line that makes it the team that more triples scores in the competition. Guillem Vives (tenosynovitis left ankle) and Fernando San Emeterio (left leg muscle injury) will not be available for this game, in addition to the absence of the long-term injured Antoine Diot.
