ABA League Round 2, Sunday, 11 October 2020:
MEGA SOCCERBET - ZADAR
Where? Ranko Žeravica Sports Hall
Where? 19:00
Story of the game: In the second game of the Sunday’s ABA League schedule, Mega Soccerbet will be hosting Zadar at home in Ranko Žeravica Sports Hall in Belgrade. The most important question right now is whether Mega would score their second win or Zadar their first.
Treaditionally young Mega Soccerbet squad have made a pleasant upset in the opening round of the season, as they have defeated Igokea on the road in Laktaši, which not many have expected. They now have a chance to be undefeated after two rounds played this season.
On the other side, Zadar have not managed to use their home court advantage in their ABA League opener in Krešimir Ćosić Arena on Friday night and have been defeated by Mornar. They now need to bounce back in order not to be placed at the bottom of the standings after two rounds of the season.
Match-up in focus: Marko Simonović and Domagoj Vuković will be in a limelight as they will be fighting one against another in the paint this time. While Simonović has been the top scorer and rebounder of Mega Soccerbet in the game against Igokea with 19 points and 13 rebounds on his record, while on the other side Vuković was the leading rebounder and third leading scorer for Zadar against Mornar with 9 points and 12 rebounds made. Who will be more successful this time?
Head to head in the regional league: In total 8:6; At Mega Soccerbet’s home court 5:2.
