IGOKEA M:TEL - KRKA

Story of the game: Igokea m:tel will host Krka this Sunday evening in Round 26 of the 2021/22 AdmiralBet ABA League regular season.

Igokea m:tel are in pretty impressive form. They have won 5 out of the previous 6 games in the regional competition and they have secured a spot in the Playoffs for the 2nd year in a row. Now, the boys from Laktaši want to add another victory to their season record as they are still fighting with FMP Meridian for the 5th place on the standings. At this moment both teams have the overall score of 14-10.

On the other side, situation is not that bright for Krka. The Novo mesto squad have lost the previous 4 games in the season and they are sitting all alone at the bottom of the table with the overall score of 4-19. In order to avoid relegation, Krka need to score all 3 wins in their remaining 3 games in the regular season to try surpassing 13th placed Split who currently have the score of 6-19.  

It should also be mentioned that Igokea m:tel have won the previous 4 games against Krka in AdmiralBet ABA League, including the one from the 1st part of the season when the Laktaši troops triumphed in Novo mesto by 72:59.

Match-up in focus: Igokea m:tel point guard James Arthur Robinson III was the league’s top passer in March, while he is currently the 5th best passer of the entire season. On the other side, Krka starting point guard Rok Stipčević is scoring plenty of points every weekend and he is currently the league’s 3rd best scorer in the ongoing season.

Their direct duel will definitely decide many things in the upcoming match.

Head-to-head in the regional league: In total 12:7; In Laktaši 7:2.
