Match announcement
Valencia
Current form
The team from the city of the same name leads the Spanish championship, but the competition at the top is extremely high. Valencia and Unicaja have the same number of wins and losses, so every match is of great importance now. In addition to the domestic championship, the team participates in the Eurocup, where it also demonstrates a high level of play. In the last round, the team beat Leyma Coruna (99:91). The match was productive and intense, which impressed the fans.
The team's main driving force is its attack leaders Chris Jones and Matt Costello, who are in great shape. When playing at home, Valencia usually shows bright basketball, full of attacking actions.

Granada
Current form
The Granada team is in deep crisis, having failed to win in the last five matches. The series of defeats has significantly affected the tournament position – the team is already close to being among the outsiders of the league. In the last round, Granada lost to Real (79:84). This result was expected, since the opponent was significantly superior to the guests in class.
Overall, Granada is showing a weak game, especially in attack, where there is no stability. The next away match against Valencia looks even more difficult, since one of the championship favorites is unlikely to allow itself to lose points. Despite everything, the team must pull itself together and try to fight the opponent.
