MORNAR-BARSKO ZLATO - KRKA
Where? Topolica Sports Hall, Bar

Story of the game: The Monday’s schedule of Round 5 will start with the game in Bar where Mornar-Barsko zlato will host Krka.
This match is very important for each side as both Mornar-Barsko zlato and Krka are doing everything they can to put an end to their losing streaks.
Mornar-Barsko zlato is still winless in the ongoing season as they lost all of their previous four games in the league. Yet, we have to mention the fact that the Bar troops have so far faced four teams from the last season’s Playoffs and that they were not considered as favorites in any of those four games. Now, they will host the league newcomers Krka and everyone in Bar hopes that the time has come for the first win in the new season.
On the other side, Krka shocked everyone at the start of the 2023/24 campaign when they defeated FMP Soccerbet on the road, however after that the Novo mesto troops suffered three consecutive defeats, also against the teams that played in the last season’s Playoffs. The green-and-whites are now coming to Bar with a chance to make a giant step away from the relegation zone, but for that to happen they will need to beat Mornar-Barsko zlato on the road for the first time in club’s history.
Match-up in focus: The duel between Alex Gavrilović (Mornar-Barsko zlato) and Jurij Macura (Krka) might have big impact on the final score as we are here talking about the top scorers of each team.
Gavrilović is averaging 12.3 points per game in the 2023/24 AdmiralBet ABA League season, while Macura is averaging 12.8 points per game.
Head-to head i nthe regional league: In total 8:2; In Bar 5:0.
