Story of the game: The battle for the 2019 ABA League Playoffs is getting intense and Mega Bemax and Cedevita are just in the middle of it! Mega Bemax currently hold the 4th position on the standings with the same overall score as the 3rd placed Budućnost VOLI, while Cedevita have 1 win more than these two teams and stand just in front at the 2nd spot.
Therefore, the following game will decide many things when it comes to who will take the top 4 spots.
Mega Bemax played a truly stunning game against Cedevita in the 1st part of the season, winning the game in Zagreb by 95:86. But, since that match a lot of things have changed, especially among the Orange crew. Apart from making quite a few changes in their roster, Cedevita have finally picked up the right rhythm and they are now on a 7-win streak in ABA League.
On the other side, Mega Bemax have won just 1 out of their last 4 games in the championship, but this might be the perfect time for them to bounce back. Because if they win the upcoming match not just that they will tie with Cedevita on the standings, but they will also have a better head to head score, which can be very significant at the end of the regular season.
Match-up in focus: In the home team we have Adam Mokoka (Mega Bemax), who turned out to be one of the best defenders in the league. On the other side, we have Jacob Pullen (Cedevita), a superb scorer who is holding the record in this season by scoring 41 points in a single match. Therefore, it should be very interesting to watch their duel.
Head to head in the regional league: In total 3:8; In Sremska Mitrovica 1:4.
