Union Olimpija and Karpoš Sokoli chasing the 3rd win in a row

Union Olimpija and Karpoš Sokoli were victorious in the past two rounds of ABA League, but only one of them will manage to score the 3rd win in a row.

ABA League 20th round, Sunday, 29.1.2017:

UNION OLIMPIJA - KARPOŠ SOKOLI

Where? Stožice Arena, Ljubljana

When? 21:00

Story of the game: If Union Olimpija had played like this in the 1st part of the season, they would have been among the teams who are fighting for the Playoffs. The Dragons scored two pretty big wins in the previous two rounds. The first one came against Partizan NIS at home, while the second was achieved on the road against Cibona. Union Olimpija crew are playing good basketball and they will try to extend their winning streak. Still, it won't be so easy, as their next rivals are also in a very good form.

Karpoš Sokoli are definitely a real hit of the 2nd part of the season. Not just that they triumohed in the past two rounds, but they have 7 consecutive wins at home court! The only problem for the league newcomers is that they are not so successful on the road. Actually, Karpoš Sokoli haven't scored a single away win so far in the 2016/17 season! Perhaps, they will change that on Sunday evening.

Match-up in focus: Nikola Janković (Union Olimpija) and Dragan Labović (Karpoš Sokoli) are both players who started their basketball careers as power forwards, but over the time they have become centers. Still, that change made them centers who can easily score from the long range. Do not be surprised if they become the top scorers of their teams in the upcoming match.

Head to head in regional league: In total 1:0; In Ljubljana 0:0.
