Story of the game: In the Round 13 of the AdmiralBet ABA League season, Krka will be hosting Igokea m:tel at home in their Leon Štukelj Sports Hall in Novo mesto.
It will be an exciting clash of two squads, that definitely need a win badly in order to get closer to achieving their objectives, set for this season.
Krka have lost their last 6 games in a row and need to win in order to improve their 3:9 record after 13 rounds, to move away from the danger zone near the bottom of the standings and move towards desired middle of the standings.
On the other side, Igokea m:tel have got back to the winning track last round, beating Cibona at home in Laktaši, but need to keep winning in order to build on their current 6:6 record and protect their position in the Playoffs Zone.
Taking a look at the tradition, it is difficult to predict the outcome of the game, as in 9 games played so far between the two belligerents in Novo mesto in the regional league history, Krka have won 5 games and Igokea m:tel 4.
How will it be this time? Will Krka and their winless streak, or will Igokea m:tel keep winning?
