ABA League 15th round, Saturday, 19.12.2015:
METALAC FARMAKOM - MZT SKOPJE AERODROM
Where? Hala sportova, Valjevo
When? 17:00
Story of the game: Two teams that have perhaps unexpectedly found themselves in the battle to avoid the bottom of the standings midway through the season, will step on court of Valjevo Hall of Sports on Saturday. Both of them need to win desperately, but only one of them will be able to take a new pair of points.
Which one would it be? It"s hard to say right now, since none of the teams is in particularly bad shape at the moment. While Metalac Farmakom have beaten Mega Leks in their last home game two rounds ago and gave Partizan NIS a proper resistance in the previous round on the road in Belgrade, MZT Skopje Aerodrom have crushed Union Olimpija at home in Skopje as Aleksandar Jončevski has replaced Aleš Pipan at their head coach position.
This will be one of the crucial games until the end of the season for both teams, in order to stay on the right track to keep their place among the regional elite. Which one will make the important step?
Match-up in focus: One of arguably the best point guards of the league, Marko Ljubičić is coming back to Valjevo where he spent last season and established himself in the regional competition. His replacement Boris Bakić will be there to try to stop him. Which one will be more successful this time?
