Very tough test for Valencia Basket with the visit of Panathinaikos Aktor Athens

Valencia Basket men's team repeats at Fonteta to face the second of the games of the toughest series of the regular season, hosting Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens (Friday 5, 8:30 p.m., Fonteta, #Vamos) in a Turkish Airlines EuroLeague round 19 game.

 

After the tremendous wear of Wednesday's win against Anadolu Efes Istanbul in this same gym, the Taronja team will try to find energy among the fourteen players available for this game, since with the return of Jared Harper and the doubt of whether the Coach Mumbrú will already play the newcomer Kevin Pangos in this game, only the injured Víctor Claver and Martin Hermannsson are sidelined for tomorrow's game.

 

Although the resounding Greek win in the first leg game by 90-73 puts the general balance of confrontations between these two teams on the green side by 6-5, Valencia Basket has beaten this rival in four of its five visits and has chained four triumphs at Fonteta against Panathinaikos.

 

The Taronja team is in the group of seven teams between fifth and eleventh that have a positive balance of 10-8, currently occupying ninth position due to its general basket-average.
