Story of the game: Split will host Mega Mozzart this Thursday evening in the final game of Round 24.
Split (5-17) are doing their best to escape the relegation zone and they did a really big job in the past two rounds as they scored two consecutive wins that put them in front of last-placed Krka (4-18). However, the famous Yellow team are still in danger of finishing the regular season at the bottom of the table and that is why every next game might be crucial for them, including the upcoming one against Mega Mozzart.
On the other side, Mega Mozzart are coming to Split with one and only goal – to break their losing streak that now stretches to 5 games in AdmiralBet ABA League. The Pink troops scored their last win in this season back in January this year and they want to finally end that awful streak of results.
In the 1st part of the season, Mega Mozzart defeated Split in Belgrade by 78:65.
Match-up in focus: Karlo Žganec was one of the best players of Split in the past two rounds. Last week he put up a double-double in the match against Borac with 13 points and 13 rebounds, while seven days earlier he recorded 5 points and 11 rebounds in the win vs. Mornar-Barsko zlato.
And, in the upcoming match Žganec will confront Karlo Matković, young Mega Mozzart star who is currently the team’s top scorer and the top rebounder. Matković recorded double-digits in scoring in each of the past 5 games of his team.
Head-to-head score in the regional league: In total 1:2; In Split 1:0.
