Very tough away game for Valencia Basket on the Unicaja's court

Valencia Basket men's team faces its second consecutive away game in a complicated tour before the start of the Euroleague in which it will try to extend the good feelings of its win in Tenerife by visiting one of the most complicated courts in the Endesa League, Unicaja’s one (Saturday 30, 8:45 p.m., Martín Carpena, Movistar Deportes) in a game corresponding to round 3 of the national competition.

 

In what will be the hundredth historical confrontation between these two teams, the Taronja team will try to add again on a court where it has won in nine of its last fifteen visits but against a rival that last season won both games clearly.

 

Forward Semi Ojeleye, who has missed the first two games due to muscle overload in his right leg, could make his debut as a taronja in an official game if his condition improves, which would force one of the eight non-locally raised players who were on the list in the Santiago Martín to be discarded.

 

The long-term injured Martin Hermannsson and Xabi López-Arostegui still sidelined.

 

In the absence of the last games of the second round being played today, Valencia Basket currently occupies 8th position with a balance of 1-1.
