Crvena zvezda mts and Zadar will face each other in their first game of the new year. The home fans are looking forward to this match...
ABA League 16th round, Monday, 2.1.2017:
Where? Aleksandar Nikolić Hall, Belgrade
When? 19:00
Story of the game: The previous year was simply fantastic for Crvena zvezda mts. They have won the ABA League title and the Serbian Championship, while they finished the 2016 journey in the best possible way - The red & white crew defeated the reigning European champions CSKA Moscow in Euroleague!
Therefore, the fans of Crvena zvezda mts will probably want to express a certain gratitude to the team, so everyone expects that there will be several thousand of fans on the stands of Aleksandar Nikolić Hall.
In that kind of atmopshere it is very difficult to beat Crvena zvezda mts, but Zadar are not coming to Belgrade with the white flag. The visitors will give their best to make a major upset at the start of the New Year, so the match in Aleksandar Nikolić Hall should be pretty interesting to watch.
Match-up in focus: Crvena zvezda mts center Ognjen Kuzmić is having an amazing season. He is dominating the paint and has outstanding numbers in his overall stats. On the other side, Zadar put their hopes in Ivan Marinković, who is currently the 2nd best scorer in the league.
Head to head in regional league: In total 17:11; In Belgrade 11:2.
