Can Mega MIS get their revenge for round 2 defeat in Laktaši?

AdmiralBet ABA League Round 15, Saturday, 14 January 2023:

IGOKEA M:TEL – MEGA MIS

Where? Laktaši Sports Hall, Laktaši 

When? 17:00

Story of the game: In the opening game of the Saturday’s AdmiralBet ABA League schedule, Igokea m:tel will be hosting Mega MIS at home in Laktaši.

It’s a game of two squads, that have been in a similar shape lately, having won 1 of their last 5 games each. However, last round Mega MIS ended their losing streak by prevailing over FMP Meridian at home in Belgrade. On the other side, Igokea m:tel have lost four games in a row now.

And not only have they had similar success lately, but also throughout the season, as Igokea hold 5 wins so far and Mega 4. So it is clear that a win would be invaluable for Mega MIS this time, as it would not only push them away from the danger zone near the league’s bottom, but would also tie them with Igokea m:tel in the number of wins and place them in the Playoffs Race again.

On the other side, Igokea m:tel wish to win not only to once and for all end their losing streak, but also to strengthen their chances of finishing amongst the Top 8 when the Regular Season ends.

The first time that the two sides met this season, it have been Igokea m:tel, that have emerged victorious, winning with the final score of 87:76 on the road in Belgrade.

How will it end this time?

Match-up in focus: Nikola Tanasković or Danko Branković? Who will dominate the paint on Saturday night in Laktaši? While Tanasković is currently the third-leading scorer and second-leading rebounder of Igokea m:tel, Branković is atop of both categories at Igokea m:tel, with an average of 14.2 points and 5.6 rebounds per game. Don’t miss this promising clash of big men under both rims in Laktaši Sports Hall!
