Valencia Basket will play its second game of the EuroLeague double round by visiting the court of Asvel Villeurbanne in a matchup corresponding to the third round. The French side will be the first opponent the taronja have visited ten times in their entire European history, making Lyon the most frequent destination for the Valencia club. They will also draw level with Panathinaikos as the team the taronja club has faced the most times. Xavi Albert’s men will be looking for their third win in three EuroLeague games on a court that has historically been difficult for them, although they arrive on a positive run after winning on each of their last three visits. With the full squad available, the team traveled to the French city with fourteen players and, after the game, will head straight to Zaragoza to play in domestic competition on Sunday. The taronja are currently fourth with a 2-0 record.

Asvel Villeurbanne opened the competition with a home win over Maccabi Tel Aviv, 84-74, although last Wednesday they lost away to Panathinaikos, leaving them twelfth in the standings with a 1-1 record. The team led by Tony Parker has placed its trust in two veteran newcomers, Patty Mills and Jae Crowder.
