Valencia Basket men's team returns to La Fonteta to play its 1,000th game in this arena, facing a direct clash at the top of the Liga Endesa standings against Unicaja (Sunday 13th, 6:30 PM, Fonteta, #Vamos) in a Round 27 acb matchup.

The Taronja squad will look to bounce back and regain its best performance with the home crowd's support after suffering two home losses last week. This will be a showdown between two of the highest-scoring teams in the league, featuring four of the five most efficient three-point shooters in the Liga Endesa.

This will mark Unicaja's 46th visit to La Fonteta, making the team from Málaga our most frequent visitor in this competition. They come as a dangerous opponent, having won four of their last five games in our city.

Valencia Basket currently holds third place in the Liga Endesa with a 19-7 record. A win in this match would allow the team to maintain that position with a two-win lead over Unicaja, their closest chaser. Moreover, if Valencia manages to overcome the eight-point deficit from their first-round loss (94-86 in Málaga), they would also secure the head-to-head points differential.
