Tenerife to Host Reyer Venezia at Home
In Week 5 of the BKT EuroCup, La Laguna Tenerife welcomes Umana Reyer Venezia. The match is seen as a test of recovery for Venezia, who have lost four of their last six games.
La Laguna Tenerife and Umana Reyer Venezia will meet at 21.00 in Week 5 of the BKT EuroCup Group B. The match will be played at the home of Tenerife, the group leader.
Venezia arrive in the Canary Islands with a record of 2 wins and 2 losses, but it stands out that they have lost four of their last six games. Their last two defeats came in Europe against Maxima Roma and in the league derby against Treviso, which was decided in overtime. The visitors will also be without Kyle Wiltjer, who suffered a sprained left ankle in the Roma game.
Tenerife, meanwhile, have won 3 and lost 1 in the European cup. The home side have found good form, winning five straight games in both the cup and the league. Head coach Neven Spahija described Jaka Lakovic's team as "formidable." The team plays at a high tempo, moves the ball quickly and involves the whole roster.
The home team's dangerous players are said to be Huertas, Kyle Guy, Vince Hunter and Shermadini. For Venezia, this match offers an important chance to show character and respond after their recent defeats.
