After 37 demanding EuroLeague rounds, Valencia Basket faces its final regular season game with the peace of mind of having completed its objectives, but also with the ambition to finish as high as possible. The 'taronja' team, following Thursday's results, can finish either second or third, and in any case, will be a top seed in the knockout rounds, a testament to their strong performance.

While there was a slim chance of finishing first, this evaporated when Olympiacos won their match. Real Madrid, who also won their game, has jeopardized Valencia's second position, which now depends on their own result. The calculations are clear for Valencia Basket: win to be second or lose and finish third.

For this final regular season match, coach Pedro Martínez has his full squad available, with the exception of captain Xabi López-Arostegui, who is still recovering from discomfort and will not travel with the team to Bosnia. Martínez is ambitious and wants the team to finish as high as possible, despite being satisfied with the work done so far.

Dubai Basketball arrives at this final matchday in eleventh position and needs to win to have a chance of qualifying for the Play-in. Therefore, Valencia Basket will face an opponent for whom the game is of vital importance. The 'taronja' coach highlighted the difficulty of the match and the unknown factor posed by the change of coach for the opposing team.

Valencia Basket is well aware that it will not be an easy game, recalling the first encounter between the two teams at the Roig Arena, where the 'taronja' won by a narrow 80-78. In that match, Dubai was without its star, Dzanan Musa, due to injury. Musa, who returns for this game, has shown great performance in the matches Dubai Basketball has played in Bosnia, averaging 22 points with high shooting efficiency.
