Endesa League returns to La Fonteta with the visit of Baxi Manresa

06/03/2021

Valencia Basket returns home after four away-games in a row to return to compete in the Endesa League more than a month later to hosy Baxi Manresa (Sunday 7, 8:00 p.m., Fonteta, Movistar Deportes) in a game corresponding to round 25 of the national league competition.

 

The taronja squad will try to break a bad dynamic that has led them to chain three defeats on a court where in their last European competition games they have knocked out CSKA Moscow and Real Madrid and return to the path of triumph in the acb after seeing how its streak was cut into twelve wins in Andorra last week. All this with the accumulated attrition of four games in eight days and with only two work sessions to prepare for Sunday's game.

 

The history of precedents is favorable to the Taronja squad, which has not lost with the Bages team at home since 2008, has nine home wins against this rival and the victory fell to the Valencian side in the first round by 74-82.

 

In a meeting that may mark the last visit of Rafa Martínez to La Fonteta as an active professional player, Guillem Vives (back) remains sidelined, Fernando San Emeterio will return to the squad after resting in the two Euroleague games this week and one of the non-formative players will have to out of the roster for this game, with Vanja Marinkovic not active at this moment. The taronja team currently occupies the fifth position in the Endesa League with a balance of 16-7.
