At 17.30 CET, Igokea will host Szolnoki Olaj. Igokea with 4-3 record and with Home court advantage is favorite in this game. Szolnoki Olaj have 3-4 record, but will try to surprise Igokea. Igokea failed to win over BC Khimki in Eurocup, until Szolnoki Olaj topped BC Mures in EuroChallenge.

At Sunday, at 19.00 CET, Cedevita will host Radnicki Kragujevac in Zagreb. Cedevita have 5-2 record, Radnicki is at 3-4. Cedevita is favorite in this game since they playing very well in this season. Radnicki kave its ups and downs, but they need one very good game if they have an goal to win in this game.
Also at 19.00 CET, Mega Vizura will host Siroki Primorka in Smederevo. Mega Vizura have better record 3-4, until Siroki Primorka have 2-5. Young team of Mega Vizura will try to reach another one win at front of its fans. Siroki Primorka is not known as team who played good in road game, so I am not sure if they have chance in this game.
Finally, at Monday, at 20.30 CET, a long-waited Serbian derby, Game of the week, clash between Partizan NIS and Crvena Zvezda Telekom. Serbian media are already full of articles about this game, fans are crazy, looking forward for start of this spectacle.
