Story of the game: In the opening game of the AdmiralBet ABA League Round 22, Igokea m:tel will be hosting Zadar at home in their Laktaši Sports Hall.
It will be a game that is extremely important for both squads. While Igokea m:tel are on an 11:9 record after 20 games played and are on the fifth place in the standings right now, they need to win in order to stay on the right track in their Playoffs race. On the other side, Zadar are on a 7:12 record after 19 games and need to win in their bid for their last chance to qualify for the Playoffs.
Both squads are entering the game with a good mood, as both of them have won in their recent appearances. Igokea m:tel have won 2 games in a row in the last 2 rounds, while Zadar have won in their last game against Budućnost VOLI. Both of them have also won 3 of their last 5 games.
It’s worth mentioning that Zadar would write history in case of a win, as they have never ever celebrated a triumph on the road in Laktaši in the regional competition so far.
Can they do it this time? Tune in on Friday night and find out!
