Where? Topolica Sports Hall, Bar
When? 17:00
Story of the game: In the opening game of the 20th round of the ABA League season, Mornar will be hosting Cedevita in Topolica Sports Hall, Bar. The home side, are looking to clinch their spot in the ABA League Playoffs and will therefore need to win in order to do so, while Cedevita have already done that. But for them, a win is a must as well, as they are still chasing a spot at the top of the ABA League standings.
The clash in Bar therefore promises huge showtime for the fans. The question that remains is, which team will take a new pair of points.
Taking a look at the history, predicting Cedevita’s triumph would be a safe bet, as they have won all three games against Mornar so far in the ABA League. However, taking a look at the shape of both sides, one could argue that mornar, besides home court advantage, are in a better position. They have won seven games in a row, while Cedevita have won three of their last five.
Match-up in focus: Even though they are not playing in the identical position in the court, there will be huge rivalry to prove who is better between experienced Derek Needham of Mornar and talented Džanan Musa of Cedevita. What a matchup!
Head to head in regional league: In total 0:3; In Bar 0:1.
