Valencia Basket seeks its turning point in the Fonteta vs. LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne

31/10/2019

Valencia Basket returns home after three away-games to host LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne in a Turkish Airlines Euroleague round 6 game (Friday 1, 7:00 p.m., Fonteta, DAZN). The Taronja squad will seek to become strong in the Fonteta to add its first win in continental competition by adding the home-court advantage to the defensive improvement shown in the last games in which the victory has been resisted.

 

Valencia Basket has in its favor both its personal history against this rival in Fonteta (4-0 for the taronja) and against rivals of this nationality in Valencia (14-3). Sam Van Rossom is the only confirmed sidelined player while Mike Tobey, who has missed the last three games, has joined practices today and is doubtful for the match.

 

Jaume Ponsarnau

"We play against an athletic team, their main virtue. They have great one-on-one players plus they have confidence because they won several games, plus they have another day of rest. We have respect for them and how they do things, but we want to keep improving and moving ahead. We must get energy from wherever so we can compete at a physical level."
