ABA League 26th round, Monday, 6.3.2016:
Where? Krešimir Ćosić Arena, Zadar
When? 18:00
Story of the game: In the last game for both teams this season in the ABA League, Zadar are about to host Sutjeska in Krešimir Ćosić Arena and it will be a clash of due or die for the both sides.
Sutjeska are currently placed in the relegation zone, but they still have a chance to avoid it at the very season"s end. To do so, they need to win in Višnjik and hope for the other results of the teams, that currently have one victory more than them, to go their way. There is just no other option for the Igor Jovović"s squad.
Their problem, however, is that Zadar need a win too in order to achieve the 6th place that is still within their reach. Of course, they need Cibona to fail to win in Podgorica in order to have a chance to do it, since in the eventual circle of Partizan NIS, Cibona and Zadar, Zadar comes out on last place amongst the three teams.
The mission will be difficult for Sutjeska, given that Zadar have only lost four times at home court this season in 12 games. But, nothing is impossible. In the end, they were the ones to prove it last round…
Match-up in focus: There will be a show of snipers on the court of Višnjik hall, as Ante Delaš of Zadar on one side will face and try to score more than Nemanja Vranješ of Sutjeska on the other one. It has been proven that when those two are playing well, it is much easier for their teams to win, than when they are not. Who will be to one to be on fire this time?
