IGOKEA M:TEL - PARTIZAN MOZZART BET

When? 18:30

Story of the game: The small town of Laktaši will once again be the host of a true basketball spectacle as this Sunday evening local team Igokea m:tel will face reigning AdmiralBet ABA League vice champions Partizan Mozzart Bet.

Every time these two teams played in Laktaši we had a super exciting game, while you should know that Igokea m:tel is one of the rare teams in this region that has a positive head-to-head score against Partizan Mozzart Bet when playing at home.

The two sides have faced each other 11 times in Laktaši so far in the regional league and the score is 6:5 for Igokea m:tel.

Yet, the upcoming game is not really coming in the best moment for Igokea m:tel as the boys from Laktaši have lost 4 out of the last 5 games in the league, while on top of that they've struggling with some major injury problems lately.

On the other side, Partizan Mozzart Bet are coming to Laktaši in high spirits after defeating Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul on the road in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague couple of days ago. The Belgrade troops also have some injury problems, but they also have good news regarding their roster as one of their best players from the previous season Aleksa Avramović has fully recovered and he is ready to make his 2022/23 AdmiralBet ABA League season debut this weekend.

Match-up in focus: Kendrick Ray (Igokea m:tel) vs. Kevin Punter (Partizan Mozzart Bet).

Igokea m:tel point guard Kendrick Ray is currently the 2^nd best scorer of the league in December as he averaged 26.5 points in the 2 games he played this month. On the other side, Partizan Mozzart Bet have their captain Kevin Punter who loves playing big games and he should be the main offensive strength of the black-and-white team in the upcoming game.

Head-to-head score in the regional league: In total 8:15; In Laktaši 6:5.
