The Spanish team has won three of its last four, showing its defensive excellence by holding opponents to 66, 62 and 72 points in that trio of wins. Valencia produced a similar display to win 56-63 in Piraeus two months ago, so the Reds will hope Thomas Walkup will again lead the offense with the same effectiveness that saw him pair 16 points with 8 assists in last week's victory at Bayern. He also has the task of slowing down Valencia playmaker Chris Jones, who had 14 points plus 8 helpers to send his team to victory at ALBA last time out.

- The Valencia single-game record for two-pointers made is 12, which Fabricio Oberto set against Olympiacos in January 2004.
- The Valencia single-game record for rebounds is 15, which Dejan Tomasevic set against Olympiacos in January 2004.
- Olympiacos forward Luke Sikma played for Valencia Basket for two seasons, from 2015 to 2017. He helped Valencia win the Spanish League and reach the EuroCup Finals in 2017.
- Sikma posted his career-high with 4 steals playing for ALBA Berlin against Valencia in January 2020.
- Valencia big man Victor Claver player under Olympiacos head coach Georgios Bartzokas at FC Barcelona during the 2016-17 season.
