Krka host Budućnost VOLI in Novo mesto

AdmiralBet ABA League Round 25, Saturday, 2 April 2022:

KRKA – BUDUĆNOST VOLI

Where? Leon Štukelj Sports Hall, Novo mesto

When? 17:00

Story of the game: In the opening game of the Saturday’s AdmiralBet ABA League schedule, Krka will be hosting Budućnost VOLI at home in Leon Štukelj Sports Hall.

It is an extremely important game for both sides and the one that might have a huge impact on the outcome of their seasons in the end. While Krka need to win in order to increase their options of escaping the bottom of the standings as the Regular Season ends, Budućnost VOLI need a victory in order to stick to their good chances of claiming the third place in the standings.

Budućnost VOLI seem to hold better chances of success this time, as they have won their last game, while Krka have lost their last 3. However, when the two sides have faced each other in Novo mesto over the past, Krka have celebrated 7 times an Budućnost VOLI 6.

Everything is possible, the tradition teaches us. How will the game unfold this time? 

Match-up in focus: There’s a big head to head clash coming up in the point guard position, where Rok Stipčević will face Justin Cobbs. Both of them are currently without doubt the key players of their respective squads, leading both in scoring and passing and we do believe that the one, that wins this battle will be able to push his team to the win this time. While Stipčević has been averaging 15.9 points and 3.6 assists per game, Cobbs has been coming up with 14.3 points and 4.4 rebounds per game this season. Who will shine brighter this time?

Head to head in the regional league: in total 8:19; In Novo mesto 7:6.
