In Pinki Sports Hall in Sremska Mitrovica the ABA League season will end for Mega Leks and Karpoš Sokoli, the two sides that will end up in the middle of the standings. The question is – which of them will be the better placed, with 11 wins on their record at the end of the season.

ABA League 26th round, Friday, 10.3.2017:
Where? Pinki Sports Hall, Sremska Mitrovica
When? 20:00
Story of the game: When everything is summed up one could claim that Mega Leks and Karpoš Sokoli did not fail to warrant the expectations placed ahead of them before the beginning of the season. Both Mega with their young squad and Sokoli as the newcomers, will be placed around the middle of the standings when the season ends and everyone will be satisfied.
However, the season is not over yet, as both teams still need to close the last chapter – the round 26, which will decide which one of them will grab the 11th triumph of the season and finish it as the better placed of the two.
Very likely, it will decide who will be in the bottom and who in the upper half of the standings. Pride is at stake!
The first time the two sides met this season, the Skopje side prevailed in Boris Trajkovski Arena with the score of 75:72.
Mega Leks will play this game without Vlatko Čančar and Ognjen Čarapić, while on the other side, Karpoš Sokoli are coming to Pinki without injured Zoran Vrkić.
Match-up in focus: Kendrick Perry has proven his class once again in the previous round, when he became the MVP. This time around an excellent defensive player Ognjen Jaramaz will be his competitor at the point guard position and we will see if this is going to disturb him on the way to make a similar achievent again.
Head to head in regional league: In total 0:1; In Sremska Mitrovica 0:0.
