Story of the game: In the opening game of the AdmiralBet ABA League Saturday schedule, Krka will be hosting Dubai Basketball at home in their Leon Štukelj Sports Hall in Novo mesto.

It will be a game of two squads with totally different shapes right now, but two of which have plenty to fight for at the moment.

Krka have been waiting for a new win in the AdmiralBet ABA League for 7 games in a row now, while Dubai Basketball seem to not be able to lose a game at the moment, as they have won 6 in a row.

And while Krka need to end their winless streak in order to be able to breath more easily, as they are still only 3 wins above the last placed Mornar-Barsko zlato, in the danger zone near the bottom of the standings, Dubai Basketball need to keep winning in order to be able to keep chasing the top of the standings.

They are currently 2 victories behind the leading duo of Partizan Mozzart Bet, which they have prevailed over last round, and Budućnost VOLI.

The first time the two squads met, it has been Dubai, that has prevailed over Krka, with the score of 91:76 in Coca-Cola Arena, quite easily.

Can Krka strike back in Round 24 on home court?

Persons is currently both the top scorer and passer of Krka with an average of 13.9 points and 7.2 assists per game, while Prepelič is averaging 11.1 points and 4.6 assists per game, as Dubai Basketball’s third-leading scorer and top passer.
