Valencia Basket receives its black beast in La Fonteta

La Fonteta is going to be the scene of the match between the two most fit teams in the Euroleague. Valencia Basket has achieved six victories in its last seven games played while Olympiacos has won the last six games. The Greek team is the leader of the competition.

The Taronja team faces the challenge of achieving the first victory in history against Olympiacos at home and the great victory in Piraeus can serve them in the first round match where they prevailed (82-83) thanks to free kicks from Jones and a great block from Webb III.

In the chapter of absences It is worth noting the loss of Martin Hermannsson that in recent weeks he has trained at a faster pace after overcoming the serious knee injury he suffered seven months ago, but that he is still not ready to compete at the highest level. Sam van Rossom and Millán Jiménez are still out and Mumbrú will have to discard because he has thirteen players available.

In front will be Sasha Vezenkov, who comes to this match as the most valued player in the competition with an average of 23.5 credits per game. And he comes from being MVP of the previous day, with a PIR of 40 in his triumph in Berlin two weeks ago.

Mumbrú expects a great atmosphere in the stands because, according to what he said, “We have to be 6,000 against five.” The Catalan coach will seek to break his team’s losing streak against Olympiacos at La Fonteta where they have never managed to win and have met six times. With a victory, Valencia Basket would achieve a balance (14-11) that would settle it in the Top-8 of the Euroleague with nine days to go until the end of the group stage.
