2024/25 AdmiralBet ABA League Round 3, Saturday, 5 October 2024:

KRKA – SPARTAK OFFICE SHOES

Where? Leon Štukelj Sports Hall, Novo mesto

When? 21:00

Story of the game: In the last game on schedule on Saturday night, Krka will be hosting Spartak Office Shoes at home in their Leon Štukelj Sports Hall in Novo mesto.

It’s a game of two teams, that still haven’t tasted the sweetness of a win this season and they will both be hoping that they can break the ice this time, as they would face each other in Novo mesto.

Krka have previously suffered narrow defeats at home against Mega MIS and on the road in Čačak against Borac Mozzart and the guys, led from the bench by head coach Dejan Jakara, believe that they are ready for next step, at the dawn of the Round 3 of the AdmiralBet ABA League season, in order to escape the very bottom of the standings.

The same goes for Spartak Office Shoes, that first suffered a defeat in a close game on the road in Podgorica against SC Derby, and afterwards ended the game against Partizan Mozzart Bet at home in Dudova Šuma Sports Hall in the same way, after putting on a brave performance against the last season’s finalists.

Is it time for Krka’s first win this season or the first ever win by Spartak Office Shoes in the AdmiralBet ABA League? Tune in on Saturday night and find out!

Match-up in focus: Perhaps the most intriguing match-up of the game will be seen on the point guard position, where Jan Špan will face Rasir Bolton. Both of them are currently the second-leading scorers of their respective squads, while they are both also the top passers of their teams, with Špan averaging 13.5 points per game and 4 assists per game for Krka and Bolton 12.5 points and 3 assists per game for Spartak Office Shoes. Who will lead his team to the win this time?

Head-to-head score in the regional league: 0:0.
