ABA League Round 12, Sunday, 23.12.2018:
Where? Topolica Sports Hall, Bar
When? 17:00
Story of the game: We have only one game scheduled for this Sunday, but it should be a very interesting clash. Mornar are facing Petrol Olimpija.
Both sides are doing their best to escape the danger zone, however they are still very low positioned on the standings. Mornar are sharing the last place with Krka, while Petrol Olimpija are just above with 1 win more.
What is interesting is that Mornar have won just 1 out of 5 home games in the championship, while on the other side Petrol Olimpija have lost all of their 5 away games in the season. On top of that, the team from Ljubljana have never triumphed in Bar in the ABA League.
In the 1st part of the season Petrol Olimpija scored quite a convincing win against Mornar – 87:66.
Match-up in focus: Malcolm Grant will play his first match for Mornar in the ABA League and he should be a significant reinforcement for this team in the rest of the season. He will have a direct duel with Petrol Olimpija top scorer Jan Špan, who has recovered from injury and will be ready for the match in Bar.
Head to head in the regional league: In total 3:2; In Bar 2:0.
