Valencia Basket visits the Fenerbahçe Beko Istanbul fortress

Valencia Basket men's team will try to break its losing streak in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague on the most complicated court to do so as it visits Fenerbahçe Beko Istanbul, the best home team in the tournament with a home record of 12-1, in a top continental competition round 29 game (Thursday 14, 6:45 p.m., Ulker Sport and Event Hall, Movistar Deportes 3).

 

Although the precedents are also in favor of the Turkish team by 3-2, the taronja squad has won in two of its last three visits to this court and took the victory in the first leg game played at La Fonteta by 77-74.

 

Álex Mumbrú's men will play in Istanbul their second away game of a series of three games as a visitor and for the tour that will be completed in Girona. The fourteen professional players available had travelled, with the only absence of the long-term injured Boubacar Touré. Nate Reuvers is questionable due to the problems he has in his right shoulder.

 

Valencia Basket remains in play-in positions and is currently tenth in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague with a balance of 13-15.
