Krka and are currently holding 7 wins in their hands and Split 8 and they both need to win badly in order to improve their chances of avoiding the 13th place at the end of the Regular Season, that leads into the ABA League Qualifiers.
The team that is defeated, however, will have lots to fight for in the remainder of the regular season.

Match-up in focus: Two Dalmatian combo guards will be in focus this time, as Krka’s Rok Stipčević meets Split’s Roko Leni Ukić.

Who will shine brighter this time around?
Head to head in the regional league: In total 7:4; In Novo mesto 3:2.
