ABA League 8th round, Sunday, 6.11.2016
MZT SKOPJE AERODROM – OLIMPIJA LJUBLJANA
Where? Sports Hall Pinki, Sremska Mitrovica
When? 17:00
Story of the game: MZT Skopje Aerodrom will face Olimpija Ljubljana in the 8th round of the ABA League and it will be an interesting match-up, since Olimpija have been to Skopje only a round ago, when they faced Karpoš Sokoli and got away with a victory. To make things interesting, let’s mention that MZT Skopje Aerodrom themselves have also taken on Karpoš two rounds ago and – won the game after a drama in the dying seconds, their first this season.
It will be a clash of the two sides from the bottom of the standings, with MZT currently occupying the last-before-last position with one game won so far, while Olimpija Ljubljana have won two, but it’s worth mentioning that they have played one game less than the competition.
A new success would mean for Olimpija Ljubljana that they have reached the middle of the standings, while on the other hand MZT wish to score a new triumph in order to exit the danger zone in the bottom of the standings.
Match-up in focus: Perhaps the thing to watch will be the match-up of the home side center Jure Lalić, former Olimpija Ljubljana player himself and the main go-to-guy in Aleksandar Jončevski’s team and his opponent Nikola Janković, the most efficient player on the Olimpija side so far. Who will come out victorious from the clash of the giants that we would witness in the paint.
Head to head in regional league: In total 3:5; In Skopje 2:2.
