Borac and Maks Strumica will meet for the second time this season once again looking for the first victory of the season. In their first fixture of the season team from Banja Luka missed a victory by an inch after leading with +3 late in the second half but finishing the match with a 30:30 draw. That point is still the only one they have. Maks have in the meantime managed to catch another one and are a step away from Borac meaning that this derby of the bottom will be a chance for both teams to bring joy of victory to their fans for the first time of the season and run away from the bottom. 

Boris Dvoršek, Borac m:tel' coach:
We've went through a physical preparations cycle raising our capacities and I believe it will be visible against Strumica. I believe we're favorites and that it's time for our first victory of the season. 

Đorđe Ćelić, Borac m:tel' player:
We're waiting for a very tough match which was visible in our first match of the season in Strumica. Saves and easy counter-attack goals will decide it. 

Marjan Andonov, Maks Strumica' coach:
Last two rounds my roster was not complete. However, all players are not available and I expect us to play as we can. Honesty, I expect our first victory in SEHA Gazprom League. 

Zlatko Vezenkovski, Maks Strumica' player:
Borac are a good team and we do not have any pressure. However, we're in a bit bad form after a bad performance and a loss in Prešov. We can compete with Borac because they are a team which we're close to on League's table.
