MZT Skopje Team News
MZT Skopje played much better with the arrival of Dragan Nikolic, and with victories against Cedevita Olimpija and FMP, they came to 4-17. In the last five rounds, they will need at least three more, and maybe even four more triumphs, to avoid being dropped from the league.
In addition to the arrival of coach Nikolic, MZT also signed several players who strengthened the team. Among them, Keandre Cook stands out the most. He had a couple of great games. Abdul-Malik Abu brought firmness and racket, and the champion of North Macedonia looks different than at the end of 2022. The only problem is that they achieved all their victories in Skopje, and with at least one visiting team, it will be easier to finish last.
In the last two games, in front of their fans, MZT beat Cedevita Olimpija and FMP. Igokea is a weaker opponent on paper, so we should expect the home team to be up to the task again. A possible defeat would put them in an almost hopeless situation.
Igokea Team News
Igokea ended its ten-game losing streak in the ABA league in the last round when it defeated FMP 77:70 on its home floor. It was also the first victory for Vladimir Jovanovic after two months on the bench, if you don’t count the trophy won in the Cup of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Considering all the unexpected problems in this club, the absolute only ambition that Igokea has is survival. In the summer, there will be significant changes to be a resident of the upper part of the ABAliga table again next season. Before they even get into a situation for such a thing, they have to fight for survival. The schedule suits them as they will have matches against Cibona and the Student Center in Laktasi. With those two wins, they would be safe.
In addition to the goal of avoiding the 14th place in the table, Igokea wants to be kept from being second to last either, as that would take them to the play-off for survival. This match in Skopje is significant because a win would solve many things in those battles in the lower house.
