The 21st round of the ABA League will be closed with style - with the greatest derby of Belgrade, as Partizan NIS are set to host Crvena zvezda Telekom.
ABA League 21st round, Monday, 25.1.2016:
PARTIZAN NIS - CRVENA ZVEZDA TELEKOM
Where? Pionir Hall, Belgrade
When? 21:00
Story of the game: The game that is in the main focus this round is also the game with which the round closes and it"s the Belgrade classic - eternal derby of Partizan NIS and Crvena zvezda Telekom, which will take place in front of the black and white crowd this time around.
The game could not be scheduled for a better time, as Partizan have stood up from being at the bottom of the standings with the arrival of new head coach Aleksandar Džikić. With Džile on the bench they haven"t yet tasted the bitterness of defeat! On the other side, Crvena zvezda Telekom are as well up and ready for the big clash, as they have beaten Unicaja with a monstrous performance during the week in the Euroleague.
As always, derby game is unpredictable, so it is difficult to say which way it would go, despite the fact that Zvezda are undisputed favourites this time, due to their position in the standings.
Match-up in focus: There will be many reasons to watch the clash of the point guards, as the MVP of 20th round Aleksandar Cvetković will stand against Euroleague single game assists record holder Stefan Jović. Certainly it will be a matc-up that won"t disappoint anyone.
