In the opening game of the 13th round of the season, Mornar are about to host MZT Skopje Aerodrom in Topolica Sports Hall, Bar. It will be the first ever ABA League clash of those two sides and it will be an important one in the battle to avoid relegation for both of them.

ABA League 13th round, Saturday, 10.12.2016:

MORNAR MZT SKOPJE AERODROM

Where? Topolica Sports Hall, Bar

When? 17:00

Story of the game: Mornar and MZT Skopje Aerodrom will meet in the opening clash of the ABA League Round 13 in Topolica Sports Hall in Bar, where history will be written as these two sides will meet for the first time ever in the history of the regional competition.
It is an important game for both sides, as they are currently both occupying positions near the very bottom, with Mornar having won 3 games so far, one more than the last placed Karpoš Sokoli and MZT Skopje Aerodrom four.

Winning this battle will therefore be crucial for a chance to exit the danger zone as soon as possible.

While Marko Čalić is coming back to the court after an injury for Mornar, the guests will play without Xavier Thames this time and appearances of their Đorđe Drenovac and Stefan Sinovec are questionable.

Match-up in focus: It will be exciting to watch the clash of statistically the best ABA League player of November Octavius Ellis of Mornar (15.75 points, 7.5 rebounds, 1.75 blocks and a valuation of 26 per game during the previous month) and the Great Britain international Daniel Clark of MZT Skopje Aerodrom. Will the experience of the latter be enough to stop the high-flying American?

Head to head in regional league: 0:0.
