Story of the game: There is no doubt that no one in MZT Skopje Aerodrom expected that the team will have such a bad start of the season. The truth is that they had a very difficult schedule in the opening rounds, however that cannot be an excuse for the current score of 0-3 and point-ratio of -74. MZT Skopje Aerodrom have a good roster, which has recently got even stronger fro Stefan Sinovec, but it is obvious that the team still need more time to get into the right rhythm. We are about to see if they will be ready for the game on Sunday, when they are facing another regional powerhouse...
Cibona are arriving to Skopje with a bitter taste from the previous round. The Wolves are no longer perfect, as they lost the derby against Partizan NIS on the road, but it must be mentioned that they played a very good game in packed Aleksandar Nikolić Hall in Belgrade. Cibona's roster is experienced enough to know that only the next game matters, so they will be fully focused on the upcoming challenge in Skopje.
