Story of the game: In the last match of the Sunday’s AdmiralBet ABA League schedule, Krka will host SC Derby in Novo mesto.
Krka opened the new season with three consecutive defeats, yet last week they scored a huge road win vs. Cibona that definitely improved the atmosphere inside the locker room. Now, the green-and-white troops want to stay on the winning path and to record their first home-court victory of the season that would push them even further away from the relegation zone.
Meanwhile, SC Derby are at the score of 2-2, while this will be their only 2nd away game of the season so far. In the previous one they suffered defeat against Cibona, so now the Students want to show a much better performance and clinch their first away win of the season.
Krka and SC Derby have so far faced each other 4 times in the regional league, while the overall score is 3:1 for SC Derby. It is interesting to mention that SC Derby have won the previous 3 duels vs. Krka.
Match-up in focus: Here, we have to mention Krka’s shooting guard Miha Cerkvenik who was the MVP of the previous round. Cerkvenik recorded an index rating of 34 in the last week’s win vs. Cibona, while he is currently Krka’s 3rd best scorer of the season with 10.3 points per game.
On the other side, there is SC Derby’s starting shooting guard Luka Bogavac who is also having a very good season so far. After all, Bogavac is currently the top scorer of SC Derby in the 2024/25 campaign with 12.3 points per game.
