Igokea vs Krka: Analysis and Prediction – Igokea will play at home court in Laktasi against Krka in the ABA League.
Igokea vs Krka Odds
Igokea Team News
Igokea is once again facing a string of failures. The team from Laktasi has suffered five consecutive losses in the ABA League and now finds itself in a situation where it’s fighting for a playoff spot in the final stretch. The team currently holds a record of 11-13, with six wins in 11 home games.
Igokea has paid the price for its decision to release almost half of the team midway through the season and give opportunities to young players. They seemed like a secure playoff contender halfway through the league. But two major losing streaks have pushed the team into a position that doesn’t lead to the playoffs. Additionally, the team has played several very poor games. Head coach Vladimir Jovanovic has had the difficult task of rebuilding the team with young players who have received more playing time. In this matchup, Igokea will be seeking an opportunity to break their losing streak. In recent games, Marko Josilo has received more playing time. He had made a significant contribution to the team, as has center Nikola Maric. Youngsters Kosta Kondic and Mario Nakic have shown inconsistency, which is certainly a problem for Igokea. Additionally, newcomer Goran Filipovic has already integrated well with the team, and better performances are expected from him.
In this matchup, Igokea will need to play more aggressively on defense and reduce turnovers. They also need to improve their shooting percentages, as they have struggled in shooting in recent games, especially from three-point range (except in the game against Bar, where they had almost 43 percent).
Krka Team News
Krka is facing an increasingly difficult situation regarding survival in the ABA League. They have suffered five consecutive losses, leaving them with a score of four wins in 23 matches. They have also performed poorly on the road, winning only twice in 11 away games.
Krka has paid the price for poor reinforcements this season. While the player roster seemed decently filled for the battle to stay in the ABA League, it did not deliver the expected performances on the court. This is especially true for Isaiah Cousins, who failed to meet high expectations. Additionally, after a promising start, Darko Planinic also did not contribute to the club’s improved results. Jairus Hamilton was sidelined with injury for a long time, which affected his game and reflected in Krka’s results. The only bright spot this season has been Jan Span, who has fully utilized his playing time and emerged as the main offensive option.
In their away game in Laktasi, Krka will need to play much better both defensively and offensively than they have in their recent matches. They will certainly strive to draw the opponent into a positional offense and not allow them to find a good offensive rhythm.
