Story of the game: Krka have won all of their previous home-court games in the 2021/22 AdmiralBet ABA League regular season, while this Saturday evening they are about to host Borac.
Neither team can really say that they are in the best shape at the moment. Krka have lost the previous two games in the league, but it should be mentioned that they were both tough road games, while on the other side Borac are on a 4-game losing streak in the regional league.
That is why each side will do everything it can in the upcoming match to finally get back on the winning track.
Krka and Borac have faced each other just 2 times so far in the top tier of the regional basketball and the score is 1:1. What is interesting to mention is that in both of those games the away team triumphed. Last season, Borac scored quite a convincing win in Novo mesto – 94:74 – that eventually helped them a lot in securing their AdmiralBet ABA League status for the 2021/22 season.
Match-up in focus: Rok Stipčević is by far the best player of Krka so far in this season. He is the league’s 2nd best scorer and the league’s 3rd best player when it comes to the index rating. At the same time, Borac starting point guard Lautaro Lopez has also had some impressive displays in this season and he is the 4th best passer of the league at the moment.
Their duel is something that should be really interesting to watch.
Head-to-head score in the regional league: In total 1:1; In Novo mesto 0:1.
