2023/24 AdmiralBet ABA League Round 16, Sunday, 14 January 2024:

KRKA - BUDUĆNOST VOLI

Where? Leon Štukelj Sports Hall, Novo mesto

When? 17:00

Story of the game: Another very interesting game will be played this Sunday evening as Krka are about to host Budućnost VOLI in Round 16 of the 2023/24 AdmiralBet ABA League regular season.

Krka have won just game out of the previous 5 rounds and the boys from Novo mesto are still sitting at the 13^th position with two wins more than last placed Mornar-Barsko zlato and with two wins less than 12^th placed FMP Soccerbet. The green-and-whites now hope to get back on the winning track in the clash against the team that they haven’t beaten since 2020.

Budućnost VOLI have won the last 5 games against Krka in the AdmiralBet ABA League and the Podgorica side now aims to extend that winning run. The blue-and-whites have won the previous two games in the league, while on top of that they scored a pretty important win in the BKT EuroCup over the past week that has definitely boosted the team confidence ahead of the upcoming challenges.

Match-up in focus: Jan Špan (Krka) vs. Yogi Ferrell (Budućnost VOLI).

Jan Špan is the leader of this Krka team and many things in Krka's gameplay depend on him. Špan is averaging 11.9 points per game in this season and is therefore the team's top scorer in the 2023/24 regional competition.

On the other side, Yogi Ferrell did not need much time to show off his scoring skills after joining Budućnost VOLI. Ferrell has so far played 5 games for the Podgorica side in the regional league and he he averaged 13 points per game.

Head-to-head score in the regional league: In total 8:21, In Novo mesto 7:7
