Igokea m:tel are set to host SC Derby at home in Laktaši

2024/25 AdmiralBet ABA League Round 10, Saturday, 30 November 2024:

IGOKEA M:TEL – SC DERBY 

Where? Laktaši Sports Hall, Laktaši

When? 19:00

Story of the game: On Saturday night, Igokea m:tel will be hosting SC Derby at home in their Laktaši Sports Hall.

It will be a showdown of two squads with a similar outcome after 9 rounds played in the AdmiralBet ABA League Regular Season. While Igokea m:tel are on a 5:4 record, SC Derby are right now on a 4:5 record in the regional competition, as both teams are currently standing within the Playoffs Zone.

However, to strengthen their positions amongst the Top 8, both of the two squads need to keep winning and Saturday will be the first opportunity to do so.

Lately, Igokea m:tel have been slightly more successful than their Saturday’s opponents, having won 3 out of their last 5 games, while SC Derby have won 2 out of their last 5. Also, Igokea m:tel are entering the game after a Round 9 win over Cibona, while SC Derby lost to Split.

In combination with the fact, that SC Derby have never ever managed to prevail over Igokea m:tel on the road in the regional competition before, one could argue that Igokea m:tel’s odds are looking better right now.

However, one of the reasons why we love this beautiful sport of basketball so much is for sure its unpredictability and we would not dare to bet on one or another team ahead of Saturday’s clash. How about you?

Match-up in focus: Bryce Jones meets Erick Neal! What a match-up the fans in the Laktaši Sports Hall will witness this time around! Both of the two players are currently both top scorers and top passers of their respective squads, and while Jones has been averaging 12.9 points and 5.6 assists per game this season in the AdmiralBet ABA League, Neal’s average is 17 points and 5 assists per game. Who will lead his team to the win this time?

Head-to-head score in the regional league: In total 4:2; In Laktaši 3:0.
