ABA League Round 14, Sunday, 10 January 2021:

MEGA SOCCERBET - IGOKEA

Where? Ranko Žeravica Sports Hall, Belgrade

When? 12:00

Story of the game: We have a big battle for the Playoffs already at the start of the second part of the 2020/21 ABA League season. Mega Soccerbet (9-4 season score) will host Igokea (9-3) on Sunday at 12:00 and this game may decide plenty of things when it comes to the race for the top 4 spots.

Looking at their previous duels we should firstly mention that Mega Soccerbet scored quite a convincing win in the 1^st part of the season as they triumphed in Laktaši by 84:62. Now the two sides move to Belgrade to face each other once again and it is worth mentioning that Mega Soccerbet have a pretty good score against Igokea when playing at home court.

Mega Soccerbet have won the previous 6 home games against Igokea in ABA League. Their overall head-to-head score at Mega Soccerbet’s home court is 6:1 for the Belgrade side.

It is also important for you to know that Mega Soccerbet stayed without Jovan Novak who moved to Spanish team Fuelabrada last week. On the other side it is still a big question whether Igokea be able to count on their two big guys Nikola Jovanović and Jackie Carmichael who missed the last round math against Mornar due to injuries.

Match-up in focus: Marko Simonović (Mega Soccerbet) vs. Marko Jošilo (Igokea).

Marko Simonović usually plays as power forward in this season and he is quite dominant at that position as he is currently the 2^nd best scorer and the top rebounder of Mega Soccerbet. At the same time, Marko Jošilo spends a lot of time at the power forward position and he is using his minutes quite well as he is currently the 3^rd best scorer and the 4^th best rebounder of Igokea.  

Head to head in the regional league: In total 11:4; At Mega Soccerbet’s home court: 6:1.
