Valencia Basket seeks to continue adding in Liga Endesa in the hard court of Montakit Fuenlabrada

Valencia Basket repeats in the community of Madrid less than 48 hours after his defeat of Euroleague at the Wizink Center to face Montakit Fuenlabrada (Saturday 7, 18: 00h, Fernando Martín, Movistar Deportes 1) in a Endesa League round 12 game. The Taronja team will try to maintain its good offensive feelings against one of the teams that receives the most points in the tournament, although it will need to improve its defensive performance against an opponent who has shown that it can be incisive in attack, especially on its own court.

 

Valencia Basket seeks to add its second league away-win and chain two consecutive wins in national competition to get even closer to the positions that give access to the Copa del Rey. The most recent precedents are for the taronja squad (7 victories in the last 10 visits), although last season the victory remained in Fuenlabrada. And all this in an afternoon in which Bojan Dubljevic can become the second player in the history of the Club to reach 5,000 points.

 

With the only confirmed absence of the point-guard Sam Van Rossom (who follows the recovery process after had surgery on the left knee three weeks ago), Fernando San Emeterio is the other player in the inactive players list for the Endesa League. Although it can be replaced by another teammate until 2:00 pm on Saturday morning. The Taronja team currently occupies the 9th position of the Endesa League, with a balance of 5-6.
