ABA League Round 19, Saturday, 3.2.2018:
MZT SKOPJE AERODROM – PETROL OLIMPIJA
Where? Jane Sandanski Arena, Skopje
When? 17:00
Story of the game: Last chance to save themselves from the bottom of the standings at the end of the season is coming up for MZT Skopje Aerodrom, as they will be hosting Petrol Olimpija in the opening game of the 19th round, in Jane Sandanski Arena.
The hosts must win this game to stay alive in their desire of not finishing the last, as Petrol Olimpija, one of their direct rivals near the bottom, are currently 3 wins away and there are only 4 rounds left to play this regular season.
The game could indeed go either way, the current shape of the both sides suggests, as both of them have won one of their last five games, with Olimpija winning their last game, while MZT Skopje Aerodrom are on a 2 games long winless streak.
Match up in focus: There will be no dilemma on who to watch. It will be a showdown of two excellent big men, as the top scorers and rebounders of both teams Bojan Trajkovski and Jordan Morgan will battle one against another. Trajkovski is currently averaging 13.44 points and 5.44 rebounds per game, while Morgan is averaging 14.72 points and 7.39 rebounds per game. How will it be this time?
Head to head in regional league: In total 5:6; In Skopje 3:2.
