Krka is coming to Stožice

Cedevita Olimpija will face Novo mesto’s Krka in 16 days in the eighth match on Saturday at 6 pm. The Slovenian derby of the 10th round of the Nova KBM League for the champion will be broadcast live on Sportklub 3.

Ljubljana’s Cedevita Olimpija will host Novo mesto’s Krka on Saturday at 6 pm in the derby of the 10th round of the second part of the national championship in Stožice. After eight Champions League games, both teams have five wins to their credit, and both are also looking forward to extremely important matches in the ABA Regional League next week.

Cedevita Olimpija and Krka have recently found themselves in a busy rhythm of matches, and the teams recorded victories in the Nova KBM League for the champion on Thursday. The Ljubljana team defeated the home team in Podčetrtek with 73:57, while the Novo mesto team defeated Šenčur on the home court with 84:70.

In the ABA League, both teams are expecting extremely important matches early next week. Krka will face FMP in Železnik, and with eight wins and 17 defeats, Novo mesto will try to avoid the fight for survival in the regional competition. Cedevita Olimpija is still trying to secure a place in the playoffs, but unfortunately the place among the top four teams does not depend only on Tuesday’s possible victory against Mega Soccerbet. In Laktaši, Igokea should also beat Mornar at the same time, and both matches will start at 6 pm, and it will be possible to watch the match between Ljubljana and Belgrade at Arena Sport 1.

STATEMENT AHEAD OF THE GAME:

Jurica Golemac, head coach of Cedevita Olimpija:
“We are facing Krka on the home court, and they are basically in the same rhythm of games, as we are. We will try to find the energy and strength for this game, as then we face Mega Soccerbet on Tuesday, and we will have to give everything we got on that game.”
