Big battle in Nikšić is underway. Sutjeska need to find a way to escape from the bottom of the standings, but the rival is one of the ABA League top four - Mega Leks.
ABA League 21st round, Sunday, 24.1.2016:
Where? SC Nikšić, Nikšić
When? 19:00
Story of the game: To go up, you need to defeat teams that are above you. The fact is that Sutjeska can't go above Mega Leks, even if they score a win in Sunday's clash, but the squad from Nikšić can jump over some other teams on the standings which might be crucial in the battle for survival. Sutjeska will play at home court which means that they will have a huge help from the stands... We will see if that is enough for a big win over fourth placed Mega Leks.
Speaking about the visitors, they are safely positioned in the Playoffs zone. Still, that does not mean that Mega Leks will not be motivated in the upcoming game. They will definitely give their best to remain on the winning path and to keep the good atmosphere inside the team.
Match-up in focus: Sutjeska starting center Draško Albijanić will have a special task - He will have to keep an eye on Boris Savović, one of the best players of Mega Leks. Since he returned to the ABA League, Savović has been dominating the paint in every single game, so Albijanić must find a proper answer in order to help his Sutjeska prevail this time.
