ABA League 1st round, Friday, 29.9.2017:
MZT SKOPJE AERODROM - PARTIZAN NIS
Where? S.C. Jane Sandanski, Skopje
When? 20:00
Story of the game: It's the start of the season and everyone are super excited, but the basketball fans from Skopje are additionally fired up for Friday evening.
The reason is quite simple - MZT Skopje Aerodrom will host Partizan NIS in the opening round of the 2017/18 campaign and this game has always been considered as a special one among the local crowd.
Both teams have made some major changes in their rosters since the end of the previous season, so it will be interesting to see how the newcomers will adapt to the new environment. In any case, we are eagerly anticipating this clash.
Match-up in focus: Two American point guards, born in the same year, both with great basketball talent... Eric Garcia (MZT Skopje Aerodrom) and Nigel Williams-Goss (Partizan NIS) are the players to watch in this game. Only one will leave the court as a victor.
Head to head in regional league: In total 7:3; In Skopje 2:3.
