Valencia Basket receives the leader of the Turkish Airlines Euroleague, CSKA Moscow with De Colo

07/02/2018

Valencia Basket receives tomorrow the current leader of the Turkish Airlines Euroleague, CSKA Moscow (Thursday 8, 20: 30h, Fonteta, Movistar + dial 193) in a round 22 game that marks the first return to the Fonteta of the French point guard Nando De Colo. The taronja squad has the complicated challenge of trying to extend its recent good streak at home in the Euroleague (has won three of its last four matches at La Fonteta) against a rival that has won seven away games so far.

 

To do so, he could expand his rotation with Montenegrin center Bojan Dubljevic and base Sergi Garcia, who have returned to practice this week, but their participation will depend on their response in the last working sessions. Regardless of whether he can recover these two players, coach Txus Vidorreta will have another four injured: Guillem Vives, Sam Van Rossom, Antoine Diot and Latavious Williams.

 

Valencia Basket has on its side the historical factor. The taronja squad prevailed over this rival in their only match so far in the Fonteta and has a very positive balance against Russian teams at home. Valencia Basket currently occupies the 14th position of the Turkish Airlines Euroleague with a 7-14 in the standings.
