In the delayed game of the 2nd round, Olimpija Ljubljana will host Krka in what is expected once more be an exciting domestic derby. Olimpija hunt 4th, Krka 6th win!
ABA League 2nd round, Monday, 5.12.2016:
Where? Stožice Arena, Ljubljana
When? 21:00
Story of the game: In the delayed game of the second round of the season, Olimpija Ljubljana will host Krka in a big domestic derby, the second one this season, but first one in the ABA League. In the first game, Krka prevailed over Olimpija in the domestic championship.
This time, both teams are trying to find a way out of their 3-games long losing streaks and only one will manage to do it. Will it be the hosts with their fourth win of the season, or the guests with their sixth?
Krka will miss Marko Luković and Darko Jukic this time, while the Dragons are expected to meet their great rivals with all players ready.
Match-up in focus: The most interesting match-up will definitely be seen at the point guard position, where the home side's sharp shooter Brandon Jefferson will meet Krka's top gun Matic Rebec. Jefferson is currently at the very top of the league's statistical standings with three 3-pointers made per game, while we are all aware of phenomenal Rebec's 3-point shooting skills. It will be definitely an exciting battle to watch!
Head to head in regional league: In total 15:7; In Ljubljana 9:3.
