Can MZT beat Igokea on a road too?
MZT Skopje Aerodrom, that were better than Igokea in their first clash of the season and are in good shape currently, are travelling to Laktaši with a goal of snatching a new pair of points. However, it has to be seen how they will function away from home against a team that celebrated last round.

ABA League 18th round, Sunday, 03.01.2016:
Where? Laktaši Sports Hall, Laktaši
When? 17:00
Story of the game: An important game in the battle to grab a spot in a bit safer zone in the battle to avoid one of the last two spots in the standings is coming up in Laktaši, as Igokea, that are coming from a win in their last ABA League encounter on the road in Belgrade against Partizan NIS, will host MZT Skopje Aerodrom that have won three out of their last four games, but lost the last one, after a thriller in the final minutes against Top four team Mega Leks.
MZT are currently in excellent form, but it has to be noticed that since the arrival of Aleksandar Jončevski three out of their four solid performances came at home in their Jane Sandanski Arena and playing away from home in Laktaši will provide a proper test for their current capabilities.
On the other hand, it has to be seen whether Igokea, inspired by their new tactician Dragan Bajić can maintain their high level of the game from last round, when they celebrated in Pionir Hall.
It is expected to be an interesting clash in the first 2016 game in Laktaši.
Match-up in focus: There will be an interesting matchup in the paint between the two late additions to both sides, as ABA League veteran Christopher Booker will have a task to prove himself better than big man Uroš Luković on the other side, that has shined during the previous several games. Which one would you bet on?
