Story of the game: Split will try to get their first win of the season in the home match against Igokea m:tel on Sunday evening.
The Yellow troops have lost all of their previous 3 games in the season, but we will once again have to mention that they had an extremely difficult schedule at the start of the 2022/23 campaign. Split were defeated by Budućnost VOLI, Cedevita Olimpija and FMP Meridian, the three teams that played in the last season’s Playoffs. And, Split won’t have any easier job this weekend as they are about to play against another last year’s Playoffs participant – Igokea m:tel.
The visitors are coming to Split full of confidence as they have won the previous two games in the AdmiralBet ABA League, while on top of that they also scored a win in FIBA Basketball Champions League during the last week.
Split have won only 1 out of 6 previous games against Igokea m:tel in the regional league. Interesting enough, that win came in their last clash in January this year.
Match-up in focus: Split star player Shannon Shorter is once again among the top scorers of the season as he is averaging 18.3 points per game. On the other side, Igokea m:tel summer signing Kendrick Ray is averaging 13 points per game, but only because he scored just 2 points in the opening round. In the following two games, Ray scored 17 and 20 points respectively.
Therefore, this duel of two amazing scorers might decide many things in the upcoming game.
Head-to-head score in the regional league: In total 1:5; In Split 1:2.
