The eternal Slovenian basketball derby is ahead of the Cedevita Olimpija basketball players. On Tuesday at 8.30 pm, the Dragons will face Novo mesto’s Krka in the fifth round of the Nova KBM League in Novo mesto. Ljubljana and Novo mesto have competed three times this season, and each time the head coach Jurica Golemac was more successful.

In the second part of the national championship, Novo mesto has played four matches so far, and the results of victories and defeats have been evenly distributed. On Sunday, they played in Šenčur near Kranj and beat the home team Šenčur with 102:98 after extra time.

For Cedevita Olimpija, Tuesday’s test in Novo mesto will be an overture before Friday’s clash of the 23rd round of the ABA League with Cibona in Zagreb.

“We have a always demanding away game in Novo mesto ahead of us. Krka is playing with a lot of energy after the change of head coach, as the players want to prove themselves to the new coach.
