ABA League Round 19, Friday, 8.2.2019:

MEGA BEMAX - KRKA

Where? Pinki Sports Hall, Sremska Mitrovica

When? 18:00

Story of the game: The ABA League Round 19 will be opened with the clash in Sremska Mitrovica, where Mega Bemax will be hosting Krka. The game will be extremely important for both teams, as Mega Bemax need to win in order to extend their chances of reaching the ABA League Playoffs, while Krka need to get back on the winning track to improve their chances of avoiding relegation at the end of the season.

Mega Bemax are currently three wins below Partizan NIS, which are occupying the fourth place of the standings, the last one that leads to Playoffs. On the other hand, Krka are currently placed on the very bottom of the ABA League standings and only a win can give them hope of escaping it after 19 rounds.

Speaking of current shape, both teams are in a similar position, as they have both won only once in the last five games. Mega Bemax, however, have lost two last games in a row, while Krka have lost one.

Match-up in focus: It will be an interesting matchup at the swingman position, where Edin Atić of Mega Bemax will be facing Luka Lapornik of Krka. Both players have been playing in great shape lately and perhaps the one that would be more effective this time would also be able to lead his team to the victory. Let’s wait and see.

Head to head in the regional league: In total 5:4; At Mega Bemax's home court 3:1.
