09-02-2015 | 17:35
The action in EUROHOLD Balkan League will continue this week with another four games. The second round of the Second Stage will be played and all four games could give us a lot of answers.First we are going to have KK Mornar at home against KK Kumanovo 2009 in group C clash. After the first round both teams are at 1-2 record so they′ll go out with only one aimi - to win. Mornar had some injury troubles in the past weeks but the team played a superb fourth quarter against Peja and they will look to carry on that form at home as well. Kumanovo will welcome back Uros Lukovic under the basket which is a big boost for them. They still won a tough home match last week, they in local league as well so they are going to try to take another victory in order to move in to a good position for the top places.
In the second Tuesday game group C leaders - KB Peja will host SCM U Craiova. The home side played very good three quarters last week against Mornar but almost lost it at the end. They′ll try now to play good all 40 minutes and take another victory which will secure them a place in the next stage at 100% and will give them very big chance even for first place. Craiova on their side lost two hearbreakers last week - first in BIBL then in local league so the team will go out on the court to try and stop that negative run. The Romanians are playing very well since the start of 2015 so they′ll try to show it once again.
In group D on Wednesday KK Sutjeska is hosting KB Sigal Prishtina with both teams having 1-2 record. The team from Niksic played a great game in Gevgelija just to lose it in the last 15 seconds. However they will be fired up for this match and the player would want to prove themselves against a good opponent. Sigal took an important road win against Rilski Sportist last week so the team from Prishtina is going to want to do that again. They′ve made a lot of changes to the roster and it seems they′re bringing to better performances. Sigal would try to repeat that in Niksic which is a tough place to visit and we should be in for a great game.
The last game for this week is in Gevgelija where Kozuv will host Rilski Sportist. The hosts continue to be without a defeat so far and they were very close to their first last week. Aleksej Nesovic however led the charge at the end and the character the players showed will have to be seen again. Rilski Sportist is coming a bit tired to this match having played three games in 5 days but this won′t mean nothing. The team from Samokov is playing each game to win and after the tough defeat last week at home against Sigal, they would like to erase the bed memories with victory.
