ABA League Round 18, Tuesday, 30.1.2018:
MEGA BEMAX - MZT SKOPJE AERODROM
Where? Pinki Sports Hall, Sremska Mitrovica
When? 20:00
Story of the game: The current position of these two teams at the ABA League standings is not really good but it promises a really good match on Tuesday evening! Mega Bemax will host MZT Skopje Aerodrom in Sremska Mitrovica in the final game of Round 18, while this clash can also be considered as a direct battle for the ABA League status.
Simply, Mega Bemax are placed at the 11th position with the overall score of 5-12, while MZT Skopje Aerodrom are at the bottom of the standings with the overall score of 3-14.
Taking into concern that Mega Bemax triumphed in the 1st part of the season in Skopje by 92:76, the boys from Sremska Mitrovica now have a big chance to escape the danger zone if they once again beat MZT Skopje Aerodrom.
At the same time, the visitors hope that they can win this match and therefore reduce the gap between these two teams even more, which would make the battle for the ABA League status extremely exciting in the remaining 4 rounds of the regular season.
Match-up in focus: Goga Bitadze has just recently won the U19 ABA League Championship with Mega Bemax and he was named the MVP of the final tournament. Still, he will now confront a much older opponent – MZT Skopje Aerosrom starting center Jure Lalić, who has a lot of experience in playing this kind of games.
Head to head in regional league: In total 6:3; In Sremska Mitrovica 4:0.
