2017/18 ABA League Regular Season, Round 10, Monday, 4.12.2017:
Where? Pinki Sports Hall, Sremska Mitrovica
When? 18:00
Story of the game: Looking at the 2017/18 season, Mega Bemax and Zadar are not really in a good position. They are both placed in the bottom part of the standings and they have the same overall score – 3 wins and 6 defeats. Therefore, this is a very important match for each side.
Mega Bemax have scored just 1 win in the previous 4 rounds in ABA League, so this two-week break came in the right moment for them to regroup in front of the rest of the season. Mega will definitely be very motivated to finally break their losing streak in Sremska Mitrovica, as they got defeated in the previous 3 games when playing at home court.
As far as Zadar is concerned, they have improved their form lately, but that was only enough to escape the bottom of the table. To be fully safe and far away from the relegation zone, they need more wins, and the one in Sremska Mitrovica would be so important for them.
Match-up in focus: Dylan Ennis (Mega Bemax) vs. Preston Knowles (Zadar). Two excellent scorers who play at the same position. We will see who will score more points on Monday evening.
Head to head in regional league: In total: 6:2; In Sremska Mitrovica 4:0.
