Will Cibona extend their winning streak in the clashes against Krka?

AdmiralBet ABA League Round 7, Monday, 8 November 2021:

CIBONA - KRKA

Where? Dražen Petrović Sports Hall, Zagreb

When? 18:00

Story of the game: Cibona have won the previous 6 games against Krka, while this Monday evening these two teams will face each other in Zagreb in the final match of Round 7.

Cibona are not in a good rhythm at the moment. After winning the opening three games of the new season, the Wolves then suffered three consecutive defeats and now have the overall score of 3-3. Therefore, the boys from Zagreb will now be fully motivated to get back on the winning track and continue their pursuit for one of the Playoffs tickets.

On the other side, Krka also have the overall score of 3-3, but it should be mentioned that the Novo mesto troops have scored all of their wins at home court. They are still winless on the road in the 2021/22 season, but perhaps the green-and-whites can change that this Monday evening in Zagreb.

Cibona have been quite successful in the games against Krka in the past. The Zagreb crew have won 11 out of 14 games at home court against the visitors from Novo mesto, while it is also important to say that Cibona are on a 6-win streak against Krka in the regional league, counting both games that were played in Zagreb and in Novo mesto.

Match-up in focus: Jose Vildoza (Cibona) vs. Rok Stipčević (Krka).

Jose Vildoza means a lot to this team of Cibona. He is currently the 4^th best scorer and the 2^nd best passer of the Zagreb squad and many things in Cibona’s gameplay depend on their starting point guard. At the same time, Krka’s starting point guard Rok Stipčević is one of the best guards in the league in this season. Stipčević is the league’s 2^nd best scorer and the best 3-point shooter at the moment, while he is a true leader of this Krka’s team.

Head-to-head score in the regional league: In total 20:9; In Zagreb 11:3.
