ABA League is back with Round 7 scheduled for the upcoming weekend, while the 1st match will be played in Novo mesto where Krka will host Zadar.
ABA League 7th round, Friday, 28.10.2016
Where? ŠD Leona Štuklja, Novo Mesto
When? 20:00
Story of the game: Both sides are approaching this match in positive mood. Krka managed to break their losing streak with an unbelievable win against Cedevita away, when Sandi Čebular scored a game-winner on 1 second before the end of the game. Therefore, the green & white crew from Novo mesto now hope they can finally enter some winning streak and start moving up on the standings.
On the other side, Zadar have faced some indeed heavy defeats in the 2016/17 season, but they significantly improved their situation in the past two weeks with two home wins against MZT Skopje Aerodrom and Mega Leks. If they manage to score the 3rd win in a row no one will mention those previous defeats anymore, as Zadar would find themselves safely positioned in the upper part of the standings.
Match-up in focus: Marko Luković vs. Ivan Marinković. They are not playing at the same position, but they are far the top scorers of their teams in the current season. Therefore, many things will depend on their performance.
Head to head in regional league: In total 10:6; In Novo mesto 5:3.
