ABA League 16th round, Wednesday, 23.12.2015:

IGOKEA - METALAC FARMAKOM

Where? 25. September Hall, Valjevo

When? 21:00

Story of the game: He is back! The man who led Igokea toward the greatest success in club's recent history has accepted to return on the team's bench. Dragan Bajić has replaced Željko Lukajić at the head coach position and he will try to help Igokea bounce back on their feet. Three years ago he led this team toward the first place in the regular season of the ABA League, while now the main goal is to avoid relegation.

Metalac Farmakom have the same goal, but to achieve it they need to do something about their away score. They have only 1 win out of 7 road games so far, but perhaps they might improve that score today. Recall that team from Valjevo managed to take two points from Laktaši last time they were in the town.

Match-up in focus: When Đorđe Majtorović got injured, Metalac Farmakom stayed without their only real center. Therefore, Marko Jevtović had to take over that role, although his natural position is power forward. On the other side, Igokea have Miloš Komatina who is very strong down in the paint, so their duel might be crucial on this match.
