ABA League Round 1, Saturday, 5.10.2019:
Where? Dražen Petrović Arena, Zagreb
When? 20:00
Story of the game: ABA League basketball is back in Zagreb after a few days, following the ABA Super Cup, which was another lovely chapter for regional club basketball. After they have been defeated by Budućnost VOLI in their clash at the ABA Super Cup, Cibona will face Mornar of Bar this time in the opening round of the ABA League season.
Cibosi wish to start the new league season with a victory and their good performance against Budućnost VOLI a few days ago gives them a reason to be optimistic. On the other side, Mornar have qualified for the Basketball Champions League Regular Season by beating Benfica in the Qualifying Round and they wish to build on that at the beginning of the regular season in their regional competition.
Who will prevail? Watch the game and find out.
Match-up in focus: Matic Rebec against Jacob Pullen! The crowd in Zagreb will be able to enjoy the clash of the two amongst the most attractive point guards of the ABA League, two of those that cannot only pass, but score as well and each of them can win games on his own. Let’s wait and see whose game it will be on Saturday night.
Head to head in the regional league: In total 3:3; In Zagreb 2:1.
