ABA League 3rd round, Thursday, 6.10.2016:
Where? Krešimir Ćosić Arena, Zadar
When? 19:00
Story of the game: The team which is famous for its home-court atmopshere will host the reigning champions of ABA League. Is there a better reason to follow this match?
Zadar can be satisfied with their start of the season. In the opening round they defeated FMP at home, while then they suffered a defeat in Podgorica against Budućnost VOLI. In both games, Zadar presented some good basketball, which gives hope to their fans that the team will play even better in the upcoming games. Speaking about the fans, they will definitely be the 6th player of the home team on Thursday evening, which is always a great advantage when it comes to Zadar.
At the same time, Crvena zvezda mts are approaching this match in very high spirits. The red and whites had a perfect start of the season as they scored two very convincing wins over MZT Skopje Aerodrom and Cedevita, while this will be their first away challenge so far in the 2016/17 campaign. One thing is certain - Crvena zvezda mts are coming to Zadar to extend their winning streak...
Match-up in focus: Ivan Marinković was the MVP of the 1st Round and he is definitely the main offensive power of Zadar in this season. This time, he will face one of the best defensive centers in the league - Ognjen Kuzmić, who has already managed to stop big guys such are Miro Bilan and Mirza Begić.
Head to head in regional league: In total: 10:17; In Zadar 8:5.
