Story of the game: Crvena zvezda mts and Krka are about to close Round 14 of the 2019/20 ABA League regular season with their Monday night clash in Belgrade.
What we should mention already at the start of this game preview is that Krka haven’t triumphed in Belgrade against Crvena zvezda mts since 2011! In the last 9 years Crvena zvezda mts have scored 7 consecutive home-court wins against the visitors from Novo mesto and the red & whites hope to extend that winning streak. The reigning ABA League champions have significantly improved their form recently, while the best proof is their 3-game winning run in the EuroLeague.
On the other side, Krka broke their 4-game losing streak in ABA League last weekend with a very important home win against Zadar. The Green troops have therefore boosted their confidence ahead of the trip to Belgrade, while they have already showed in this season that they are not afraid of Crvena zvezda mts. Krka have defeated the red & whites in the 1st part of the season in Novo mesto, while now they hope that they might stun the Belgrade giant once again.
Match-up in focus: Kevin Punter (Crvena zvezda mts) vs. Glenn Cosey (Krka). Kevin Punter has recently signed a contract with Crvena zvezda mts, while this Monday evening he will get a chance to make his ABA League debut. Punter is well-known as a top-class scorer, while his direct opponent in this game will be the league’s best 3-point shooter – Glenn Cosey of Krka.
Head to head in the regional league: In total 17:6; In Belgrade 9:2.
