Safe zone path goes through Valjevo

Metalac Farmakom and Sutjeska are looking for their second win in a row in ABA League... Still, only one of them can prevail in the game in Valjevo.

ABA League 17th round, Saturday, 26.12.2015:

METALAC FARMAKOM - SUTJESKA

Where? 15. September Hall, Valjevo

When? 17:00

Story of the game: Metalac Farmakom scored such an important win last week in Laktaši. They outplayed Igokea and reached the safe zone on the standings, but the plan is to stay there until the end of the regular season. Therefore, team from Valjevo need to continue with good results, while now they are in front of another clash against a direct rival from the bottom part of the table - Sutjeska.

The NIkšić crew are still at the last place, but now they are sharing that spot with Igokea. There are 4 teams which have only one win more, including Metalac Farmakom, so Sutjeska have the opportunity to tie the score with at least one of them. The visitors are coming to Valjevo in high spirits after beating Union Olimpija in the last round, so we should have a very interesting game on Saturday evening.

Match-up in focus: Metalac Farmakom game philosophy is - defense! They stopped Igokea on 60 points and won the game, while they will try to do the same with Sutjeska. Therefore, probably the most important duel will be the one between Boris Bakić and Nemanja Vranješ. Defensive specialist against a natural scorer...
