ABA League Round 17, Monday, 27.1.2020:

IGOKEA - CRVENA ZVEZDA MTS

Where? Laktaši Sports Hall, Laktaši

Where? 17:00

Story of the game: In the last match of Round 17, Igokea will host Crvena zvezda mts in Laktaši on Monday evening.

Igokea are on a 4-game winning strerak in the ABA League. The boys from Laktaši have significantly improved their form over the past month, while their latest results helped them escape the danger zone. Igokea now hold the 8th place on the standings with the overall score of 6-10, but they haven’t yet secured their ABA League status. Therefore, the home side will do everything they can to stun the reigning ABA League champions in the upcoming match in order to make another major step away from the relegation zone.

At the same time, Crvena zvezda mts are coming to Laktaši full of confidence, as they have scored 3 pretty impressive wins in a row in the ABA League. The red & whites have defeated Krka, Mega Bemax and Cibona, respectively, while in each game they scored 100+ points. Zvezda have therefore returned to the Playoffs zone as they now hold the 3rd place on the standings, while they want to improve their position even more in the rest of the season.

Match-up in focus: While playing for Partizan NIS, Đorđe Gagić have fought numerous battles against Crvena zvezda mts. Gagić now plays for Igokea and he has been one of the best players of this team in the past month, while this Monday evening he is about to face Crvena zvezda mts big guy Vladimir Štimac who has brought so much energy to the red & whites since his return to the club. We are about to see who will win this battle of giants.

Head to head in the regional league: In total 5:12; In Laktaši 2:6.
