In the first game of Saturday’s ABA League programme, Igokea will host Crvena zvezda mts at home in Laktaši. Throughout the history, it has never been easy for Zvezda to beat the blues. Can Igosi become the first to beat the Belgrade powerhouse this season?
ABA League 19th round, Saturday, 21.1.2017:
Where? Laktaši Sports Hall, Laktaši
When? 17:00
Story of the game: Another festival of basketball is coming to Laktaši, as Igokea will host a traditionally welcome Belgrade powerhouse at their basketball hall. It will be a new test for Zvezda whether they can continue their amazing unbeaten run and on the other side perhaps the last chance for Igokea, to keep in touch with the top four and to try to reach one of the Playoffs spots.
Traditionally, Igokea have always been tough opponents for Zvezda, regardless of the strength of two teams and this time it is expected not to be any different.
In the first game this season of the two teams, Zvezda prevailed over Dragan Bajić’s squad with the final score of 68:66. How will it end this time?
Match-up in focus: There is no doubt which match-up to choose to watch closely. It will be a battle of two tremendous point guards – the home side’s Vuk Radivojević (ranked 8th in the league with 4.87 assists per game) and Stefan Jović (4th with 6.53 apg) from the ranks of the guests. Youth or Experience? Stefan or Vuk? Watch and find out!
Head to head in regional league: In total 5:6; in Laktaši 2:3.
