ABA League Round 19, Sunday, 28 February 2021:
Where? Ranko Žeravica Sports Hall, Belgrade
When? 12:00
Story of the game: Mega Soccerbet will host Borac this Sunday at 12:00 in Round 19 of the 2020/21 ABA League regular season.
The two sides are approaching this match in quite a different situation. Mega Soccerbet are still in the race for the 2021 ABA Playoffs and they will do everything they can to score enough wins to finish the regular season among the top 4 teams on the standings. They have a good mometum as before this three-week break they grabbed an unbelievable last-second win against Mornar in a direct battle for the Playoffs.
On the other side, Borac have so far scored just 4 wins in the 2020/21 ABA League championship, which is the fewest number of wins any team has scored so far in this season. The boys from Čačak are on a four-game losing streak and they need to get back on the winning track as soon as possible in order to avoid finishing the season at the 13th place, which leads into Promotion/Relegation Playoffs.
In the first part of the season Mega Soccerbet's Twin Towers Filip Petrušev and Marko Simonović led their team toward a comfortable win against Borac on the road. The score was 97:83.
Match-up in focus: If they want to win this match, Borac will have to figure out how to stop the league's most valuable player at this moment - Filip Petrušev. Mega Soccerbet big guy is averaging 23.6 points and 7.7 rebounds per game, while he scored 25 points the last time his team faced Borac. Can Borac starting center Dušan Miletić, who is 212 cm tall, find a way this time to stop Filip Petrušev? We will find out the answer on Sunday afternoon.
Head to head in the regional league: In total 1:0; In Belgrade 0:0.
