Story of the game: Mornar-Barsko zlato will host Split in Round 9 of the 2021/22 regular season and this match is quite important for both sides.
It is important simply because both sides want to escape the danger zone on the standings after making a pretty bad start in the new season. Mornar-Barsko zlato have scored just 1 win in the previous 8 rounds, while Split are just a bit better as they have grabbed 2 wins in the same period.
Mornar-Barsko zlato have scored that one and only win so far in Bar and that home-court advantage might be very important in the upcoming game. Especially because Split have lost all of their away games so far in the 2021/22 championship.
Mornar-Barsko zlato and Split have so far faced each other just 2 times in the top-tier of the regional league and the Bar troops have won both of those games.
Match-up in focus: Vladimir Mihailović (Mornar-Barsko zlato) vs. Nejc Barič (Split).
Mornar-Barsko zlato guard Vladimir Mihailović has scored 10+ points in 5 out of 6 games he played in this season, while last weekend he was the top scorer of his team in the match against Cedevita Olimpija. At the same time, Split point guard Nejc Barič has played one of the best games of his career last weekend in the match against Krka as he made 20 points and 10 assists, while had the overall index rating of 32.
Head-to-head score in the regional league: In total 2:0; In Bar 1:0.
