Recap
The basketball players of MZT Skopje are playing one of the key matches for survival in the ABA league, against Igokea in the 22nd round. The Bosnia and Herzegovina team is one of the direct competitors in the fight for the last two places, so the meeting in the Jane Sandanski hall is of great importance. Dragan Nikolić’s team enters this game with a victory over Kumanovo in the championship, but just two days before that, they had a defeat on the road at Mega Basket. In that match in Serbia, the basketball players of the North Macedonian champion failed in many segments, they allowed the youngest ABA team to surprise and outwit them. However, the stakes are high, support from the stands will not be absent, and they are in a series of 6 home victories, 2 of which are against ABA league teams FMP and Cedevita Olimpija. Igokea ended a 12-game losing streak in all competitions in the previous round after defeating FMP. There is no doubt that Igokea, just like MZT, sees a chance in today’s game, but it will not be easy in Skopje and I expect MZT to win and cover this line.
