MTA vs VAL Dream11, Euro League Basketball, Prediction and Fantasy Team News
Israeli champions Maccabi Tel Aviv host Valencia in the round four of Euro League Basketball at Menora Mivtachim Arena, with both the teams looking for a win in this crunch fixture.
Considering Maccabi’s lofty standards, the Isreali giants are certainly not hitting the heights in Euro League, after losing twice in the first three games. Though, their domestic campaign is a complete opposite of their European adventure as the defending Israeli champions are currently the joint leaders with Hapoel J-M in the Israeli Basketball Premier League following three wins from as many games.
Valencia are hard-pressed for a win and can’t afford to lose more ground after losing the first three matches. No wonder, the Spanish giants are propping up the table in Euro League.
In fact, Valencia have been on the downfall for quite some time now as they have lost 10 times in the last 12 games in all competitions, and come into this game on the back of a four-game skid.

MTA vs VAL Dream11 Team News:
Maccabi Tel Aviv:
Maccabi have no injury issues and will take Valencia with their full roster.
Valencia Basket:
Valencia’s problems lie more in the offensive department, with no player looking in the form to carry the burden of scoring for the team.
Players like Brock Motum and Fernando San Emeterio have failed to recapture the form of last season with latter hardly contributing to the team’s cause.
That said, head coach Jaume Ponsarnau has a deep roster to make changes to tweak his system.
Emeterio’s lack of form has already seen Brock Motuim moving ahead in the pecking order, while Maurice Ndour is clocking more minutes than what many would have expected at the start of the season.

Elijah Bryant, Scottie Wilbekin, Quincy Acy, Angelo Caloiaro, Othello Hunter, Sandy Cohen, Omri Casspi, Deni Avdija, Tyler Dorsey, John DiBartolomeo, Nate Wolters, Jake Cohen, Dori Sahar, Yonathan Atias, Tarik Black, Yovel Zoosman
