AdmiralBet ABA League Round 25, Wednesday, 20 April 2022:
BORAC – CRVENA ZVEZDA MTS
Where? Borac Sports Hall, Čačak
When? 19:00
Story of the game: In the previously postponed game of the AdmiralBet ABA League Round 25, Borac will be hosting Crvena zvezda mts at home in their Borac Sports Hall in Čačak.
It is a clash of two teams with totally different positions right now, as well as totally different shapes in this part of the season.
While Crvena zvezda mts have already achieved their goals for the 2021/22 AdmiralBet ABA League Regular Season, clinching the first place in the standings with 2 games still ahead of them, Borac have managed to escape the danger zone near the bottom of the standings, but are still endangered with the possibility of being relegated to the NLB ABA League 2 through the AdmiralBet ABA League Qualifiers. They can still avoid the Qualifiers, but only in case of successful finish of the Regular Season, which would help them overcome Mega Mozzart in the standings. However, to do that, they need to keep winning until the end. It will not be an easy tash, though, since they still need to face Crvena zvezda mts and Mornar-Barsko zlato.
Also, Crvena zvezda mts are looking to be in a fairly better shape than Borac right now, as they have won their last 5 games and Borac lost their last 4.
It’s also worth mentioning that in 3 games played between Borac and Crvena zvezda mts so far in the AdmiralBet ABA League history, Crvena zvezda mts have prevailed each and every time.
Will traditions continue or end in Čačak? Tune in on Wednesday night and find out!
Match-up in focus: There will be an interesting battle in the paint, as Marko Pecarski of Borac challenge Luka Mitrović of Crvena zvezda mts for the dominance on the glass. Currently, both of them are the top rebounders of their respective squads, with Pecarski averaging 5.9 rebounds per game and Mitrović 4.8. Who will be better this time?
Head to head in the regional league: In total 0:3; In Čačak 0:1.
