ABA League Round 11, Sunday, 16.12.2018:
Where? Tivoli Sports Hall, Ljubljana
When? 17:00
Story of the game: Two years have passed since these old rivals played their last derby in the ABA League. And now, they meet again! In the derby match of Round 11, Petrol Olimpija will face Krka.
Both sides have scored just 1 win out of the previous 5 rounds in the regular season and they currently have the same overall score: 3 wins and 7 defeats. Together with Mornar, these two local rivals share the bottom of the standings, which makes this derby even more important.
Simply because this time they will not play just for honor and prestige, they will play to grab an extremely important win which might help them secure the ABA League status at the end of the season.
Match-up in focus: Mirza Begić (Petrol Olimpija) vs. Jure Lalić (Krka). Two very experienced centers will face each other this weekend. They have both played many important games in their careers, so they should be well-prepared for the Sunday’s derby. But, only one of them can take the win.
Head to head in the regional league: In total 17:7; In Ljubljana 10:3.
