We are hosting the team of great aspirations, Atomerőmű KSC Szekszárd, that was strengthened before the season in Novomatic Aréna.
The last time we were defeated in a league game against Szekszárd was back in the fall of 2017, and it was in Szekszárd. On our home court their only triumph was in the 2018 cup final in Sopron. The one coming up will be our 65th league game. In the previous ones we came out as winners 60 times. Taking the cup games into consideration as well, the two teams faced each other 77 times, and we came out on top 72 times.
Szekszárd started their league campaign against PEAC-Pécs and won the game 87-76 at home. Last time out they won in pasarét at the home court of Vasas Akadémia by 27 points, 90-63, where Lívia Gereben returned to court.
Our team has improved on their game after the opening round. Team play worked better against Győr already, our new American players are getting used to their spots and their teammates better and better. Briann Jnauary also arrived on Thursday, but she will enter a system that she knows well. She will surely have to cope with adjusting to a new time zone, but if our head coach thinks it is okay, she may be put into the line-up.
After the Friday morning practice we asked Tina Krajisnik to share her thoughts with us.
Tickets to the game can be purchased at the venue for 1500 HUF. Due to the limited number of seats tickets to the game - depending on the number of season tickets sold - can be purchased at the venue for 1500 HUF from 5 pm. Due to restrictions this season only Season Ticket holders and players of our academy are allowed to enter free of charge, other discounts are not available. For Szekszárd fans we will provide separate entry, and buffet.
The game can be followed via live online statistics, at the federation' website, and via live video stream at MindiGO website. The game will be broadcast live at M4 Sport+.

The board of our club has great experience in managing difficulties, but we are facing an especially huge challenge in terms of functioning due to the energy crisis, as well as on a professional level, since Courtney Vandersloot is for now unable to join our team due to personal reasons
Klubunk vezetésének nagy tapasztalata van már a nehézségek menedzselése terén, de most különösen nagy kihívások elé nézünk a működés tekintetében az energia-válság miatt, illetve szakmai vonalon is, miután személyes okok miatt Vandersloot Courtney egyelőre nem tud csatlakozni a keretünkhöz
