ABA League 9th round, Friday, 11.11.2016:

IGOKEA – MEGA LEKS

Where? Laktaši Sports Hall, Laktaši

When? 20:00

Story of the game: In the opener of the ABA League Round 8, Igokea are set to host Mega Leks at home in the Laktaši Sports Hall. According to the current situation in the ABA League, we could characterize Igokea as mild favourites, since they are chasing their fifth win, while Mega Leks are chasing their third.

Besides that, Igokea are coming to the game after a win on the road in Zadar in the previous round of the regional competition, while Mega Leks have lost against Krka in a thrilling encounter and afterwards a Basketball Champions League defeat against Lithuanian side Juventus Utena, so the morale is at the moment higher in the home team's camp.

Let's add that Mega Leks would have to write a new chapter in the history books in order to win it on Friday – they would have to score their first ever win in Laktaši against Igokea.

Match-up in focus: It is no doubt who is the main offensive weapon on Igokea's side – it is James Arthur Robinson, an excellent shooting guard who never fails to deliver a huge amount of points for his team. On the other side, Jovan Novak has proven to be a huge reinforcement for Mega Leks ever since he joined the Sremska Mitrovica side. It will be a clash of Igokea's top scorer (18.57 ppg) and the second scorer of Mega Leks (13.4 ppg). Who will score more this time?

Head to head in regional league: In total 4:2; In Laktaši 3:0.
