ABA League Round 10, Monday, 10.12.2018:
Where? Leon Štukelj Hall, Novo mesto
When? 18:00
Story of the game: At this moment, Krka and Cibona are the two last placed teams on the standings, while they will face each other on Monday evening in Novo mesto.
Krka have scored all of their 3 wins in this season at home court, while so far only Zadar have managed to take the win in Novo mesto as the away team. As this match is very important for both sides, it is expected that the Green crew will have a big support from their fans in Leon Štukelj Hall, while the players will try to use it to defend the home court once again.
On the other side, Cibona have lost their 3 previous games in ABA League and they simply need to bounce back as soon as possible. The Wolves have been quite successfull in Novo mesto in the past, as they had scored 6 away wins against Krka in the history of the regional league.
Match-up in focus: Krka's top scorer Luka Lapornik should return to the team after recovering from injury and he will probably be the main offensive power of the home side. When Cibona is concerned, their top scorer is Marko Ljubičić, who has already won several games for the Wolves in this season by making key shots in the last moments. We are about to see who will be better this time.
Head to head in the regional league: In total 9:14; In Novo mesto 6:6.
