Valencia Basket seeks its first win in Euroleague hosting Anadolu Efes Istanbul

Valencia Basket returns home to face the Turkish Airlines Eurolegue round 3 hosting Anadolu Efes Istanbul (Friday 18, 21:00 hours, Fonteta, DAZN). The Taronja squad will seek for their first win in continental competition after a complicated start against an opponent who comes to Valencia being the current runner-up of the tournament, But Valencia Basket has always won Anadolu Efes Istanbul in their games in Fonteta.

 

Shooting guard Joan Sastre will be sidelined for this game, while power forward Louis Labeyrie remains doubtful because of the elongation of the left adductor that has made him miss the last two commitments of the Taronja squad. In a confrontation between the two teams that have received the most points in the first two round of Euroleague, the control of the rhythm and the offensive of the rival seems to be one of the key elements of the clash.
