2017/18 ABA League Regular Season, Round 11, Saturday, 9.12.2017:
Where? Aleksandar Nikolić Hall
When? 19:00
Story of the game: Do not miss Saturday’s clash of the ABA League powerhouses Partizan NIS and Cedevita in Aleksandar Nikolić Hall in Belgrade. It will be a repetition of spectacular semi-final series from last season in which Cedevita have edged out Partizan, but the black and white did manage to triumph in their home game in the series in Belgrade!
This season the stories of the two teams are similar. Both of them are fighting for Playoffs spots, with Cedevita currently having won two games more than Partizan. However, we do not need to mention especially how important home court is for the black and white and how much effect it has on the results of their team, so things could change quickly with this game.
For the home side a new win would mean that they would find themselves in the Playoffs zone again, while the hosts will be there regardless of the score but… that’s not all that is on their mind – they want to reach for the very top!
Match-up in focus: Two young guns will face each other on the court of famous Aleksandar Nikolić Hall, while Partizan NIS’ Vanja Marinković will be the one to try to prove to be better than Cedevita’s Džanan Musa. Will he succeed?
Head to head in regional league: In total 9:12; In Belgrade 8:2.
