ABA League Round 18, Sunday, 3.2.2019:

KRKA - FMP

Where? Leon Štukelj Hall, Novo mesto

When? 19:00

Story of the game: Let’s start with this – Krka haven’t defeated FMP in the regional league since 2009! Still it sounds worse than it is, as these two teams have faced each other just 3 times since then and FMP triumphed in all of those 3 games.

But, now the boys from Novo mesto have a huge motive to finally break that losing streak against the Panthers.

Krka are among the 3 teams who have the worst score in the league and they simply need to win this match. They did win the previous game in ABA and therefore boosted their confidence in front of the final stage of the season, but in order to reach the safe zone they have to remain on the winning path.

At the same time, FMP also triumphed last week in ABA and moved up to the 7th position. However, as they have just 2 wins more than Krka, Petrol Olimpija and Zadar, the Panthers are still not fully safe and they will certainly not lack motive in the upcoming game.

It is worth mentioning that FMP defeated Krka in the 1st part of the 2018/19 regular season by 93:65.

Match-up in focus: Dominik Mavra (Krka) vs. Matic Rebec (FMP). They are very similar players and they are both considered as quite good scorers. After all, Mavra was the hero of Krka last weekend, when he made 8 points in the final minute of the game against Zadar, while Rebec was pretty impressive in the 1st half of the match against Igokea, scoring no less than 16 points in the opening 20 minutes. Now, they will face each other…

Head to head in the regional league: In total 2:5; In Novo mesto 2:1.
