Valencia Basket seeks to continue adding in the Euroleague on the Khimki Moscow Region’s court

Valencia Basket faces the first of its five remaining games in the Regular Season of the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague to visit the court to which it has traveled the most times in continental competition, that of the Khimki Moscow Region (Friday 19, 6:00 p.m., Mytishchi Arena, DAZN / Movistar dial 59) in a game corresponding to round 30 of the top European competition.

 

Aware that it must touch perfection in this final stretch to keep open its options to qualify for the Playoffs, the taronja team wants to improve its performance as a visitor in the Euroleague against a rival that cut a streak of 17 consecutive losses in this tournament by winning in this court to Real Madrid two weeks ago.

 

To do this, Jaume Ponsarnau's men must seek to maintain their accuracy in the launch against the team that concedes the most points in the Euroleague and try to maintain the good defensive line of their last two triumphs in the continental tournament, in which they left Zenit. St. Petersburg in 62 points and Fenerbahçe Beko Istanbul in 52.

 

On the eighth visit to the Moscow Region to play the 17th game of the historic Taronja European Classic against the yellow team, captain Bojan Dubljevic is questionable due to a trauma in a finger on his left hand, although this morning he traveled with the team on a 13-player expedition. Valencia Basket currently occupies the 10th position of the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague, with a balance of 15-14, a victory shy from the team that marks the cut of eighth place.
