Match of the round: The undefeated are coming to Stožice

Monday night is bringing us the derby of the round and it will be a clash of two ABA League powerhouses, Olimpija Ljubljana and Crvena zvezda mts in Stožice Arena.

ABA League 11th round, Monday, 28.11.2016:

OLIMPIJA LJUBLJANA – CRVENA ZVEZDA MTS

Where? Stožice Arena, Ljubljana

When? 17:00

Story of the game: The big game is coming up on Monday night in Ljubljana! The undefeated Crvena zvezda mts are heading towards Stožice to face Olimpija, which have been in good shape lately, which was confirmed again during the week, when they have overpowered in German Bundesliga still undefeated Ratiopharm Ulm.

Clashes of these two sides in Ljubljana have never been one-sided as far as history is concerned and this time is not expected to be any different, despite Zvezda’s dominance at the beginning of the season in the regional competition.

Crvena zvezda mts, that are arriving to Stožice after an Euroleague defeat against Anadolu Efes on the road in Istanbul without injured Nikola Rebić and Luka Mitrović, while Olimpija have no injury problems whatsoever currently.

Match-up in focus: Big men will be in the limelight in the last game of the round in Ljubljana. While Nikola Janković of Olimpija is currently ranked 4th in the league’s overall valuation rankings (20.13), with 18 points and 7 rebounds on his account on average per game, Zvezda believe that they have an adequate medicine for this Ljubljana’s side weapon in Ognjen Kuzmić, who has proven himself utterly useful in order to stop the dominant men of the opposite sides so far this season. Will he do it again?

Head to head in regional league: In total 14:19; In Ljubljana 8:7.
