Story of the game: Krka will host Zadar in Round 4 of the 2021/22 Admiralbet ABA League regular season.
After a pretty bad start of the new season and a heavy defeat against Cedevita Olimpija on the road, Krka made quite a good impression in the next two games. The boys from Novo mesto firstly stunned Mornar-Barsko zlato at home court, while then they lost the overtime thriller against Mega Basket in Belgrade. Now, they will try to keep the perfect score in their own gym and grab another win in the 2021/22 season.
On the other side, Zadar are among the three teams who are still winless in the 2021/22 AdmiralBet ABA League championship. Zadar lost two out of three games in dramatic endings, so they hope that their luck will finally change in Novo mesto this week.
Krka have been much more successful than Zadar in their head-to-head games as the green-and-whites have won 17 out of 26 head-to-head games so far in the regional league. Still, it must be mentioned that Zadar triumphed the last time they visited Novo mesto.
Match-up in focus: Rok Stipčević was just brilliant in the previous two rounds as he scored 58 points combined in those two games! At the same time, Justin Carter has been the main power of Zadar so far in this season as he is currently averaging 12,7 points, while his average index rating so far is 20,3 per game.
Head-to-head score in the regional league: In total 17:9; In Novo mesto 8:5.
