Valencia Basket seeks its first victory on the court of the LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne

Valencia Basket goes to the road again to play a game of Turkish Airlines EuroLeague away game three weeks after its last European game away from La Fonteta to visit for the fifth time in their continental history the LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne’s court (Wednesday 3, 20:45h, Astroballe, DAZN).

 

The Taronja squad will look for their first victory on this court to stay in the Playoff positions and extend their good streak as a visitor in the Euroleague, where they have won four of their last five European competition games outside of Valencia.

 

It will be the third game in five days after the defeat vs. Fenerbahçe and the victory vs. San Pablo Burgos for the men of Jaume Ponsarnau, with the good news that the Taronja coach Taronja is recovering players. Point-guard Guillem Vives already had some minutes in Sunday's Endesa League win and Belgian playmaker Sam Van Rossom returns to the roster after over a month unable to help his teammates.

 

So shooting guard Jordan Loyd will be the only sidelined player for this game. Valencia Basket begins this round placed in the eighth position of the Turkish Airlines Euroleague, with a balance of 12-14.
