ABA League 7th round, Monday, 26.10.2015:
METALAC FARMAKOM - CRVENA ZVEZDA TELEKOM
Where? Hala sportova, Valjevo
When? 21:00 CET
Story of the game: Crvena zvezda Telekom is coming to Valjevo for a true basketball festival, that their game against the home side Metalac Farmakom is expected to be. It will be an opportunity for the last season's champions of the regional competition to stand up after defeats against Cedevita and Union Olimpija in the ABA League, as well as against Real Madrid in the Euroleague.
It will not be easy, though, with a long list of injured players, containing Marko Tejić, Nemanja Dangubić and Luka Mitrović.
On the other end, Metalac Farmakom will try to upgrade their winning streak to three games, after previously prevailing over Cibona and Krka and they will try to do it without Nikola Jevtović, whose appearance in this game is under the question mark.
Match-up in focus: Especially with all the mentioned players absent, Israeli international Gal Mekel is the undisputed leader of Crvena zvezda Telekom on the court, but one former Crvena zvezda Telekom player, Boris Bakić, will try his best to prevent him from dominate the court this time in Valjevo. Can the ex player prove to be the nemesis for the visiting team?
