2017/18 ABA League Regular Season, Round 7, Monday, 6.11.2017:
PARTIZAN NIS - CRVENA ZVEZDA MTS
Where? Aleksandar Nikolić Sports Hall, Belgrade
When? 21:00
Story of the game: The last match of the Round 7 will be quite special. It's the clash of two fierce rivals and probably one of the biggest basketball derbies in the whole world.
It's Partizan NIS vs. Crvena zvezda mts!
The two sides approach this game with the same overall score of 4 wins and 2 defeats. Partizan NIS will be the hosts this time, which means that the whole gym will be cheering for them. And that is something that may bring them a significant advantage in the clash against their eternal rivals.
But, on the other side, Crvena zvezda mts have the EuroLeague experience of playing tough away games against top-class teams, so they might not have any problem of facing such a hot atmosphere.
One thing is certain, we are in front of a true basketball spectacle, so be sure not to miss the first Belgrade derby of the season.
Match-up in focus: Nigel Williams-Goss (Partizan NIS) vs. Taylor Rochestie (Crvena zvezda mts). Williams-Goss is currently the best passer in the league with 8.7 assists per game, while Rochestie is the league top scorer with 20 points per game. What a duel will that be!
Head to head in regional league: In total 19:14; At Partizan NIS court 11:7.
