Valencia Basket seeks in Belgrade its first victory vs. Crvena Zvezda in the Euroleague

17/12/2020

After breaking their losing streak against Olympiacos with a solid 85-96 win at Piraeus, and with hardly any time to enjoy it, Valencia Basket's men's team set out this morning for Belgrade to face a new challenge. In this case, trying to win for the first time in a Turkish Airlines EuroLeague game vs. Crvena Zvezda mts Belgrade (Friday 18, 7:00 p.m., Aleksandar Nikolic Hall, DAZN) in round 15.

 

The taronja squad has a balance of 0-5 against this rival in the highest continental competition, which makes them the only team in the current edition of the Euroleague that we have not managed to knock down in this tournament. Ponsarnau's men will try to take advantage of the positive momentum of the victory in Athens, although they will have to face the wear after a very tough game in what will be the second game of a series of three games in five days that will end at the Fonteta on Sunday vs. UCAM Murcia.

 

Valencia Basket will also try to extend its good moment away from home (it has had five consecutive victories as a visitor) and to balance in its favor the history of its games in Serbia without any physical incidents other than the long-term casualties of Joan Sastre and Vanja Marinkovic. The Valencian team begins this day 14 of the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague in the fifth position of the tournament with a 9-5 in the standings.
