Krka Dare to Dream as Partizan Mozzart Bet Come to Town

2025/26 AdmiralBet ABA League Group A Round 11, Monday, 22 December 2025:

KRKA - PARTIZAN MOZZART BET

Where? Tivoli Sports Hall, Ljubljana 

When? 17:00

Story of the game: Round 11 of the AdmiralBet ABA League brings an intriguing Monday evening clash in Ljubljana, where Krka will host the reigning champions Partizan Mozzart Bet. While the names and ambitions of the two teams differ, they arrive at this matchup sharing a similar emotional backdrop - both are searching for a reset.

Krka are currently sharing the bottom of Group A with an overall score of 2-7 and are well aware that every upcoming game carries extra weight. The green-and-whites have shown flashes of offensive potential this season, but consistency has been hard to come by.

Partizan Mozzart Bet, on the other hand, enter this game under unusual circumstances. Despite winning their last three games in the AdmiralBet ABA League, the Belgrade powerhouse are still feeling the shockwaves of Friday night’s EuroLeague disaster, where they suffered a heavy 41-point defeat on the road against Žalgiris Kaunas. The challenge for the black-and-whites will be less about tactics and more about mentality - how quickly they can regroup and respond.

Match-up in focus: Krka’s main offensive weapon will once again be Victor Bailey Jr, who already proved he can hurt Partizan. In the first part of the season, Bailey Jr. exploded for 29 points against the Belgrade side, showcasing his shot-making ability and confidence against elite opposition.

On the opposite end stands Duane Washington, Partizan’s undisputed offensive leader in recent weeks. Washington has been carrying much of the scoring load and will be expected to set the tone early, especially after the EuroLeague setback.

Head-to-Head Score in ABA: In total 5:24; At Krka home court: 3:11.
