Valencia Basket seeks its first victory as a visitor vs. Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv

Valencia Basket men's team opens round 32 of the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague by visiting the team in the best shape of the competition, Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv (Wednesday 27, 8:30 p.m., Aleksandar Nikolic Hall, #Vamos) in a clash in in which the Taronja team will try to achieve its first victory away from La Fonteta against this rival to remain attached to the fight for the positions that give access to the play-in of the maximum continental competition.

 

After a week of good feelings, especially in the defensive aspect, the taronja squad will need to make a concerted effort to control one of the best offensive teams in the competition and the one that best carries the offensive rebound. And despite having played their European competition matches at home except for the first in Belgrade and with a very reduced capacity of spectators, they are 11-4 at “home”.

 

Center Brandon Davies has worked until the last moment to try to join the team's expedition to Belgrade, but finally he will not be able to be in tomorrow's game due to the injury in his left calf and joins the absence of Boubacar Touré (back).

 

Valencia Basket is currently twelfth in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague with a record of 14-16.
