SPLIT - KRKA

Where? Split Sports Hall, Split

When? 17:00

Story of the game: A very busy Monday night schedule in the AdmiralBet ABA League will begin with the match between Split and Krka.

Neither team can really brag that they are in a good form. Split have lost 3 of the previous 4 games in the league, while Krka have suffered 4 defeats in the last 5 rounds.

Yet, we have to mention that Krka might have a slightly better momentum than Split ahead of the Monday’s clash as the Novo mesto troops scored a pretty important win against Mornar-Barsko zlato last weekend.

Split and Krka have so far faced each other 16 times in the regional league, while the overall score is 9:7 for Krka. When the games played in Split are concerned, the two sides are all tied with each team scoring per 4 wins at Split’s home court in their head-to-head clashes.

Last season, Split defeated Krka both times in the AdmiralBet ABA League. Split triumphed at home 78:74, while then they prevailed in Novo mesto by 80:76.

Match-up in focus: In this match we will watch the duel between the two players who are currently inside the Top 10 of the list of players with the highest average index rating in the 2024/25 season.
