Battle for the middle of the standings – Borac host Zadar

AdmiralBet ABA League Round 18, Friday, 28 January 2022:

BORAC - ZADAR

Where? Borac Sports Hall, Čačak

When? 21:00

Story of the game: Borac are set to host Zadar at home in Borac Sports Hall by the Morava river.

It’s a clash of the two squads, that currently have one goal in mind – escape the danger zone near the bottom of the standings and join the squads, currently placed in the middle. To do so, each of them needs to grab a win this time and go on a winning streak, following their recent victories in Round 17.

Zadar seem to have slightly better chances right now, as they have won 3 games out of their last 5 and Borac only 1. They have also beaten Borac in every single encounter of these two squads played so far in the regional competition in three games played between the two so far.

However, Borac do have the home court advantage this time. Can they use it to grab their historic first ever win over Zadar?

Match-up in focus: There’s no doubt that the match-up that will be in focus this time is the one between Hunter Hale and Justin Carter, as the two shooting guards have been shining all season long and have been heading their respective squads in terms of scoring. While Hale has been averaging 14 points per game this season, Carter has had an average of 15 points per game so far. Who will lead his team to the win this time around? Tune in on Saturday night and find out!

Head to head in the regional league: In total 0:3; In Čačak 0:1.
