The demanding Frutti Extra Bursaspor’s court, next taronja challenge at 7DAYS EuroCup

22/03/2022

Valencia Basket will visit the Frutti Extra Bursaspor’s court for the first time in its continental history (Wednesday 23, 6:00 p.m., Tofas Spor Salonu, DAZN/Movistar dial 59) in a 7DAYS EuroCup round 16 game.

 

After guaranteeing its presence in the Playoffs two rounds ago, the taronja squad will have its first opportunity in this game to certify a place among the top four of the group and ensure home court advantage in the Eightfinals with a win in the ninth court of a Turkish rival in which the taronja squad will play in its European career.

 

To look for a win that would also swing the balance of his games in Turkey in his favor, coach Joan Peñarroya recovers forward Víctor Claver, who missed all last week three games due to COVID-19, but maintains the absences in the point guard position with Sam Van Rossom and Neno Dimitrijevic sidelined.

 

Valencia Basket puts into play the best streak of the competition (seven wins in the last eight games) against a rival that has not lost at home since December 19. The taronja team currently occupies the second position in group B of the 7DAYS EuroCup with 11-4 in the standings.
