Will SC Derby or Krka get back on the winning track?

2023/24 AdmiralBet ABA League Round 6, Thursday, 2 November 2023:

SC DERBY – KRKA 

Where? Morača Sports Hall, Podgorica

When? 19:00

Story of the game: In the opening game of the AdmiralBet ABA League Round 6, SC Derby will be hosting Krka on Thursday night at home in Morača Sports Hall in Podgorica.

It’s a game of two teams that are in totally different positions right now, after 5 rounds of the AdmiralBet ABA League season, but two, that have suffered defeats recently.

While SC Derby have lost on the road in Ljubljana against Cedevita Olimpija, Krka have been defeated in Bar against Mornar-Barsko zlato. However, SC Derby are currently placed in the upper half of the standings with a 3:2 record, while Krka are just a win above the very bottom with a 1:4 record and they haven’t tasted the sweetness of a win for four rounds.

So the question upon us is whether SC Derby or Krka would return back to the winning track this time around, as they meet in Podgorica.

Match-up in focus: Perhaps the most intriguing match-up of the game can be the one under both rims between Kenan Kamenjaš of SC Derby and Jurij Macura of Krka. While Kamenjaš is currently the top scorer and rebounder of SC Derby with an average of 12 points and 7.8 rebounds per game, Macura has been putting on 10.8 points and 6.4 rebounds per game on average, as he has been leading Krka in rebounding. Who will prevail this time?

Head-to-head score in the regional league: In total 1:1, In Podgorica 1:0.
