ABA League Round 15, Sunday, 13.1.2019:
Where? S.C. Topolica Bar
When? 19:00
Story of the game: The situation in front of this match is very simple. Whoever wins it will make a huge step away from the danger zone. And that is why Mornar and Zadar are fired up in front of their Sunday’s clash in Bar.
The two sides currently have the same overall score: 5 wins and 9 defeats, which puts them just in front of the two last placed teams on the standings – Petrol Olimpija and Krka (4-10).
Still, you should know that the Sunday’s rivals are not approaching this match in the same mood. Last weekend Zadar won the thriller against Petrol Olimpija in overtime, while Mornar lost that incredible match against Partizan NIS after conceding the 2-pointer at the buzzer.
On the other hand, Mornar’s advantage, apart from playing the game at home court, might be the fact that they have won the last 3 games against Zadar in ABA League.
Match-up in focus: Uroš Luković (Mornar) vs. Luka Žorić (Zadar). Over the years these two big guys have fought many battles in the regional league. Now they meet again and we expect another great duel.
Head to head in the regional league: In total 3:2; In Bar 1:1.
