2025/26 AdmiralBet ABA League Play-out Round 8, Saturday, 11 April 2026:
KRKA – SPARTAK OFFICE SHOES
Where? Leon Štukelj Sports Hall, Novo mesto
When? 20:00
Story of the game: On Saturday night, Krka will be hosting Spartak Office Shoes at home in their Leon Štukelj Sports Hall in Novo mesto.
It’s a game in which Krka, currently on an 8:15 record will be looking for a win, that would put them safely away from the danger zone near the very bottom of the standings, while on the other end, Spartak Office Shoes need a win in order to strengthen their position atop of the standings of the Play-out stage.
Both teams have been defeated on the road in the previous round, Krka against Mega Superbet in overtime, while Spartak suffered a blowout defeat in Belgrade against FMP. We could still argue that Spartak have been in a better form lately, having won 4 out of their last 5 games and Krka only 2.
It’s worth noting, that Krka have never ever prevailed over Spartak Office Shoes before in the entire AdmiralBet ABA League history in three encounters played so far. Is it time for their historic first success against the Subotica side or will the tradition go on?
Match-up in focus: Olivier Hanlan against Blaž Mahkovic! The two guards have been integral for the game of their respective squads this season. While Mahkovic is currently the second-leading scorer and third-leading passer of Krka with an average of 10.3 points and 2 assists per game, Hanlan has been averaging 12.6 points and 3.6 assists per game as Spartak Office Shoes’ top scorer and second-leading passer. Who will lead his team to the win?
Head-to-head score in ABA: In total 0:3, In Novo mesto 0:1.
