Valencia Basket visits the court of Barça, the undefeated leader of the Liga Endesa

13/11/2021

Valencia Basket closes its very tough week with the visit to the court of the undefeated leader of the Endesa League, Barça (Sunday 14, 6:30 p.m., Palau Blaugrana, #Vamos) in a game corresponding to round 10 of the Endesa League that the Taronja squad will face with the moral rush of their comeback and win on the Virtus Segafredo Bologna’s court but with two new sidelined players in the squad that join the other three that the Taronja team has been dragging in recent games.

 

Power forward Louis Labeyrie and point guard Martin Hermannsson will miss this game due to muscle injuries in the left leg, joining the already known absences of Victor Claver, Mike Tobey and Neno Dimitrijevic.

 

In a game that will put the two highest ranked players in the Endesa League face to face (Dubljevic and Mirotic), the Valencian team will try to improve their performance compared to the previous one this season, which was the defeat in the semifinal of the Endesa Super Cup by 87-68.

 

Although the general precedents are clearly favorable to the Catalan team, the recent dynamics are quite balanced in the last ten games between these two teams in national competition at the Palau Blaugrana, with five wins for each side. Valencia Basket is currently eighth in the Endesa League with a balance of 5-4.
