ABA League Round 20, Sunday, 7 March 2021:
Where? Leon Štukelj Sports Hall, Novo mesto
When? 17:00
Story of the game: This Sunday we will have just one ABA League game in the daily schedule, but that one should be quite interesting. It’s Krka vs. Mega Soccerbet.
Krka are still winless in 2021, while their losing streak in ABA League now stretches to 7 games. Therefore, the boys from Novo mesto will do everything they can to win the upcoming game as they are now dangerously close the 13th place on the standings which leads into Promotion/Relegation Playoffs.
On the other side, Mega Soccerbet will also be fired up for this match as they need a win to stay in the Playoffs race. Mega Soccerbet have been in a pretty good form lately as they have won 4 out of the previous 5 games in the regional competition.
We should also mention that these two teams played quite a thrilling match in the first part of the season when Mega Soccerbet seized a narrow win in Belgrade – 71:70.
Match-up n focus: Jure Škifić is the 4th best scorer of Krka and their main man inside the paint. Still, this weekend Škifić will have an extremely difficult task as he will have to confront league’s top scorer Filip Petrušev who has made 20+ points in 12 out of 17 games that he has played for Mega Soccerbet in this season. It is also worth mentioning that Petrušev has scored 15+ points in every game he has played this season.
Head to head in the regional league: In total 5:8; In Novo mesto: 4:2.
