Story of the game: In this week’s ABA League match of the round Crvena zvezda mts will host Igokea on Sunday at 17.
This is a direct battle for the Playoffs! Crvena zvezda mts currently have the score of 18-3 and they have won 4 out of the last 5 games in the league. On the other side, Igokea’s season record at this moment is 19-4, while the boys from Laktaši are on a 5-game winning streak in ABA League.
Crvena zvezda mts have been defeated by only 2 two teams so far in the 2020/21 ABA League regular season and one of those two who managed to beat the red-and-whites is Igokea. In the first part of the season, Igokea scored quite a convincing win against Crvena zvezda mts in Laktaši – 85:65.
Still, it’s been quite a while since Igokea scored their last road win against Crvena zvezda mts as the last time they triumphed in Belgrade was back in 2015. Since then, Crvena zvezda mts have scored 4 consecutive home wins against Igokea in ABA League.
Match-up in focus: Whenever Crvena zvezda mts are in front of some big game all eyes are pointed to Dejan Davidovac. Simply, Davidovac enjoys playing this kind of games and he has helped the red-and-whites win big matches so many times during his career. In the upcoming clash, Davidovac will have a direct duel with Igokea’s top scorer Marko Jošilo who is having an outstanding season. Jošilo is also someone who is not afraid to step up for his team in high-pressure moments, so this duel should have a large impact on the final score.
Head to head in the regional league: In total 13:6; In Belgrade 6:3.
