2026/27 AdmiralBet ABA League Regular Season Group A, Round 8, Friday, 13 November 2026:
KRKA – ŠIROKI TT KABELI
Where? Leon Štujelj Sports Hall, Novo mesto
When? 20:30
Story of the game: On Friday night, Krka will be hosting Široki TT Kabeli at home in their Leon Štukelj Sports Hall in Novo mesto.
A game of two teams with similar ambitions for the season, but with different stories so far in the season. While Krka are currently the last placed team of Group A right now, they have returned to the winning track in Round 7, when they have prevailed over Igokea m:tel at home in Leon Štukelj Hall. Of course, they will wish to build on their success now when Široki TT Kabeli are coming to town.
And the Pecara side might be a proper candidate for something like that in the given moment. While the reigning ABA League 2 champions, have, as newcomers, become a sensation of the beginning of the season, with their unbeaten run over the opening three rounds, they have afterwards lost three games in a row, and will be looking for an exit from their mini crisis situation right now.
The two squads have previously met 7 times in Novo mesto, with Krka winning 5 of those encounters and Široki TT Kabeli 2.
Who will triumph this time?
Match-up in focus: Diante Baldwin meets Tayler Persons! Both of the two players are currently the second-leading scorers and top passers of their respective teams at the moment, with Baldwin averaging 12.8 points and 6.5 assists per game for Krka, and Persons 16 points and 5.3 assists per game for Široki TT Kabeli. As Persons returns to Novo mesto just for one game, will he claim the glory on the court, or will his former team celebrate?
Head-to-head score in ABA: In total 9:5; in Novo mesto 5:2.
