Head to head

They have not met this season.

Key players and availability

Shannon Evans, Sir'Jabari Rice and Kassius Robertson are the guards Andorra rely on, with Kyle Kuric on the wing. Valencia's scoring comes from Nikola Mirotić, TJ Shorts and Armoni Brooks. No current injury report was available when this was written, so check team news before tip-off.

The edge

Valencia are clear favourites. They have the better attack and the better defence, and Andorra have lost four of five. The one real risk is fatigue: Valencia have played three EuroLeague games in the last nine days, the latest on Friday night, and have to travel to the mountains. If their legs go in the second half a rested Andorra side at home could make it uncomfortable.
