For the Orange comes probably one of the most fascinating challenges of this Euroleague as it is the remake of last year’s quarter-finals: Schio–Valencia This concludes this first round. The two teams are not experiencing the same triumphal season as 2022/23 but are still fully in the running for one of the top four places in Group A.

The situation is still unclear Carrera who missed the last few games due to an injury but is very close to returning: coach Burgos could have her available as early as tomorrow evening.
The words of the veteran in the pre-match Martina Crippa which presents the challenge as follows:
“Both teams have several new additions compared to last year and we are struggling to find continuity of results: this can take away our confidence but right now we need to remain more united, continue to work with intensity and dedication as we have been doing since the start of the season. year. I think that even with the new additions, Valencia’s game is similar to last year: a very aggressive team full of talented and experienced players. It will be a tough game, similar to last year’s series: we will have to work on the details and show off a great defense”.
