Zadar will have a home court advantage in the upcoming match, but the home team are not in a good form. They suffered 4 consecutive defeats in ABA League, which turned on the red alarm inside the club. They simply need to break this awful streak as soon as possible in order to escape the danger zone.
On the other side, Krka went through an even bigger crisis as this team had 9 defeats in a row, however they managed to beat none other than Cedevita in the last round and to finally get back on the winning track. Still, the squad from Novo mesto are well aware that they must not stop now, as there are still 7 rounds to be played in the Regular Season.
Match-up in focus: Lovre Bašić (Zadar) and Matic Rebec (Krka) are considered as some of the most talented point guards in the league. Therefore, their duel on Sunday evening may decide the outcome of this match.
Head to head in regional league: In total 7:12; In Zadar 4:5.
