ABA League Round 25, Monday, 19 April 2021:
Where? Split Sports Hall, Split
When? 18:00
Story of the game: Split will host Borac in postponed game of Round 25, while this match is very, very important for both sides.
Just take a look at the standings. Split currently have the overall score of 8-16, same as Cibona and Krka, while Borac are right behind them with the overall score of 7-17. And each of these four teams is doing its best to avoid finishing the regular season at the 13th place as whoever ends up at that spot will have to play in the Promotion/Relegation round.
That is why the upcoming match between Split and Borac is so important for both sides. If Split win this match, then they will definitely secure their ABA League status for the next season. On the other side, if Borac prevail, then they will join the group of teams who have 8 wins and the last round of the regular season will be one of the most exciting in the history of the competition.
In the first part of the season Borac defeated Split in Čačak by 90:69.
Match-up in focus: The outcome of this game will depend a lot on the battle of point guards. Roko Leni Ukić is the 2nd best scorer of Split and a true leader of this team, while on the other side Bryce Jones is the top scorer of Borac and someone who can make difference on the court at any moment.
We are about to see which one will manage to guide his team toward the win on Monday evening.
Head-to-head score in the regional league: In total 0:1; In Split 0:0.
