KRALJEVO, Serbia (Interstat) — Kraljevo (1-1) will host Novosadska (1-1) in a women’s professional basketball game on Wednesday, with both teams looking to gain momentum early in the season. Both clubs have split their first two games and will try to build consistency.

Novosadska enters the road contest after an 87-50 loss to Crvena Zvezda in its most recent game. Marija Marceta led Novosadska with 13 points and four rebounds in 28 minutes, while Dragana Jovicic added six points, eight rebounds, three assists and one block in 27 minutes. Andela Jekic contributed five points, three rebounds and three blocks in 18 minutes. Novosadska’s other result this season was a 53-46 road victory at Spartak. The visiting side has shown it can compete on the road, and it will need a composed offensive effort against Kraljevo’s size and activity.

Jovicic is a player to watch for Novosadska. She has been productive in multiple areas, and her eight rebounds and three assists in the loss to Crvena Zvezda reflect her willingness to impact the game beyond scoring. Novosadska will look for Marceta to provide scoring punch and for Jekic to protect the rim. Balanced contributions from the backcourt and frontcourt could be important as Novosadska tries to hand Kraljevo a home loss.

Kraljevo comes in after a 64-52 win at Korac. Arieona Rosborough played 35 minutes and recorded nine points, 12 rebounds and seven assists. Myriam Lara added nine points, 13 rebounds, one assist and three blocks in 20 minutes. Marina Davinic scored 20 points with four rebounds and three assists. Kraljevo’s other result this season was a 78-75 home loss to Ras. The home team has displayed a strong interior presence and balanced scoring, traits it will aim to carry into the matchup.

Lara is a player to watch for Kraljevo. Her 13 rebounds and three blocks in the win at Korac gave Kraljevo a major lift, and she will be counted on again at both ends. Rosborough’s all-around line and Davinic’s scoring ability give Kraljevo multiple options. Kraljevo’s schedule ahead includes a trip to Duga, a home game against Spartak, a visit to Crvena Zvezda, home games against Vojvodina and Partizan, and road contests at Nibak Nis and Student Nis. Novosadska’s upcoming slate includes a home game against Partizan, road games at Nibak Nis and Student Nis, and home dates with Mega MIS and Ras.
