Mega Leks will host Zadar in the 19th round of ABA League. It's the clash of two teams who are fighting for the ABA League survival.
ABA League 19th round, Sunday, 22.1.2017:
Where? Sports Hall Pinki, Sremska Mitrovica
When? 19:00
Story of the game: Mega Leks did lose 4 out of the previous 5 games in ABA League, but no one can deny that this team has significantly improved their game recently. After all, the boys from Sremska Mitrovica were very close to pull off major upsets in Podgorica against Budućnost VOLI and in Zagreb against Cedevita, while they played an overtime against Crvena zvezda mts at home. Unfortunately for them, Mega Leks suffered defeats in all of those games, but their luck simply has to change at some point. Perhaps, that will happen on Sunday evening when they will host Zadar in Sports Hall Pinki.
As far as the visitors are concerned, they are in a very similar situation. Zadar also suffered 4 defeats out of the last 5 rounds, but they still have one win more than Mega Leks in the overall score. Regarding the fact that Zadar beat Mega in the 1st part of the season, one more win against the same rival would mean so much for them in the race for the ABA League survival, because head to head score might be the crucial thing at the end of the Regular Season.
Match-up in focus: Jakov Vladović is the most experienced player in Zadar, he is the master mind of all team offensive plays and probably the key figure down on the court. At the same time, Ognjen Jaramaz is the main engine of Mega Leks, he is a talented point guard who can do everything if he has a good day. Only one of them can prevail on Sunday.
Head to head in regional league: In total: 5:2; In Sremska Mitrovica 3:0.
