Where? Arena Bonifika, Koper

Where? 18:00

Story of the game: The last match of Round 12 will be quite a special one. Koper Primorska are about to face Crvena zvezda mts in the battle for the Playoffs!

Koper Primorska currently have two wins more than Crvena zvezda mts and if they win the upcoming match they will make a huge step toward the Playoffs. However, that won’t be easy. Especially after everything that has happened over the past week. Koper Primorska have stayed without three major players and without a head coach in the last 7 days. Marko Jagodić Kuridža, Lance Harris and Marjan Čakarun all left Koper, while head coach Jurica Golemac decided to resign from his job. Therefore, no one actually knows how will Koper Primorska look like down on the court after all these changes.

On the other side, Crvena zvezda mts are coming to Koper stronger for one player. And that player is no one else by Marko Jagodić Kuridža, who is one of the guys that left Koper Primorska over the past week. On top of that, then red & whites have boosted the team confidence by scoring a big win against Olympiacos Piraeus in the EuroLeague, so they now hope to return on the winning path in the ABA League as well.

Match-up in focus: Žan Mark Šiško (Koper Primorska) vs. Lorenzo Brown (Crvena zvezda mts). Šiško is the best passer so far in the 2019/20 ABA League regular season, while Brown is holding the 5^th place on that list and the 4^th place on the overall index rating list. Their duel is something you do not want to miss.

Head to head in the regional league: In total 0:1; In Koper 0:0.
