ABA League 24th round, Sunday, 26.2.2017:
Where? Jane Sandanski Sports Hall, Skopje
When? 21:00
Story of the game: This may actually be the most important game for MZT Skopje Aerodrom so far in the 2016/17 ABA League season. By having the overall score of 8-15, MZT are just in front of Krka and Zadar who currently have 7 wins. But, if the boys from Skopje score a win against Igokea on Monday evening then they will be two steps ahead of their rivals! And, with just two rounds remaining in the regular season that might mean that MZT Skopje Aerodrom would definitely escape the bottom place of the standings.
On the other side, Igokea are approaching the next week in quite relaxed mood. Simply, the squad from Aleksandrovac are holding the 7th place on the standings, they cannot reach the Playoffs, but neither they can suffer relegation. Therefore, Igokea have absolutely no pressure in front of the away match in Skopje.
Match-up in focus: Djordje Drenovac is often the key player of MZT Skopje Aerodrom, while now his team needs him more than ever. He will have a direct clash with Djordje Milošević, who has been probably the best player of Igokea in the last couple of weeks.
Head to head in regional league: In total 5:4; In Skopje 2:2.
