Six-time champion and eight-time Spanish Cup winner are looking for a game. After the failure last season and the coaching leapfrog, the contract with Xavi Garcia last summer was supposed to solve all the problems and renew the squad. After 18 rounds of the current championship Valencia has four wins and seven peaceful outcomes, which brought 19 points and 14th place in the standings. After two defeats at the end of last year to Sevilla (0:1) and Granada (1:2) in 2021, the Orange entered with a draw with Cadiz (1:1) and a victory over Valladolid (1:0). It is impossible not to note the second worst indicator of hosts in the attack line, which distinguished itself 15 times. The “bats” performed well in the King’s Cup, where the team made it to the 1/8 finals, knocking out Terrace (4:2), “Eklano” (4:1) and “Alcorcon” (2:0). Paulista, Sillessen and Gameiro, who has a thigh injury, will not be able to take part in this game.
For a long time Memphis could not win, but finally Grizzlies burst through. It just so happened that it coincided with the return of Ja Morant. But it cannot be said that the leader’s appearance immediately improved the play of the “bears”. They had played quite well before and even beat Brooklyn (115-110). Thanks to a streak of five wins, Memphis managed to get to seventh place in the Western Conference. This is a well-deserved position, as Jenkins’ charges have been looking pretty good lately. In recent games, they even defeated Philadelphia and Phoenix.
