PARTIZAN NIS – CRVENA ZVEZDA MTS

Where? Aleksandar Nikolić Hall, Belgrade

When? 18:30

Story of the game: Game 4 of the 2022 AdmiralBet ABA League Finals will be played on Friday evening, with Partizan NIS being the hosts in the upcoming match.

Partizan NIS defended their home court in Game 3 as they prevailed over Crvena zvezda mts in a thrilling ending to stay in the title race. The black-and-whites have reduced the lead of their arch rivals in this final series to 1-2 and they now want to repeat that performance from Wednesday evening to tie the score in the Finals.

On the other side, Crvena zvezda mts missed a big chance to close out the series in the previous game, but they are well aware that they still have two match points left to clinch the title. The red-and-whites will do everything they can to finish the job already on Friday evening and to complete their second three-peat as they were the ones who won the previous two regional league titles.

What is interesting to mention is that none of the big Belgrade rivals have managed to win the derby game on the road in this season. Crvena zvezda mts have won all 3 previous home-court games against Partizan NIS, while at the same time Partizan NIS have triumphed in the previous 2 home-court games against Crvena zvezda mts.

Will that streak continue or will we see the first road win in big Belgrade derbies this season? We will find out the answer on Friday evening.

Match-up in focus: Kevin Punter made a fantastic performance in Game 3 as he scored 22 points to lead Partizan NIS toward the win. On the other side, Ognjen Dobrić scored 20 points in that match and he once again confirmed that he simply enjoys playing the big games.

Their duel in the upcoming match might decide the winner.

Head-to-head in the regional league: In total 23:26; At Partizan NIS home court 12:10.
