Borac can with a win catch Meshkov on league’s table

Borac u prilici dostići Meškov na tablici

Borac Meskov


After a great match against NEXE, Borac will today (20.00) in Borik hall host Belarus Meshkov in a game of delayed sixth round. Meshkov is , currently, three points away from the team from Banja Luka so Borac will have chance to catch them with a win in today’s match at least for a few days as Meshkov has played three matches less than Bosnian champion.

 

Meshkov is on its Balkan tour. By now team from Brest has won the match in Belgrade against Partizan and lost to Vardar in Skopje which has not done much good to their Final Four ambitions (12 lost points in 8 matches). That’s why the match in Banja Luka is the one in which coach Željko Babić could not allow his team to lose. Borac has no pressure but is ready to show everyone once again what they can. They now have a good, competitive roster and want to go on a winter break with a good winning streak after a bad start.

 

- We’re entering each match with positive thoughts and a wish to win. I hope our medical staff will be able to prepare players well for this match after NEXE. Meshkov is a great team and I believe our supporters will again have chance to see quality handball - says coach of the team from Banja Luka, Jani Cop.

 

Hero of the match against NEXE, Ratko Nikolic states:

- It will be hard because the break between two match was maybe not long enough to prepare 100% which is important when playing against such strong teams like Meshkov. But, if we repeat the game from few days ago we have right to believe in new points. I believe it would be the right prize for our supporter who have been here for us in the last few matches.

 

It will be really interesting to see strong Belarus defence against great players from Bosnian team.
