MZT’s second or Mornar’s third?

AdmiralBet ABA League Round 6, Friday, 4 November 2022:

MZT SKOPJE AERODROM – MORNAR-BARSKO ZLATO

Where? Jane Sandanski Arena, Skopje 

When? 18:00

Story of the game: In the opening game of the AdmiralBet ABA League Round 6, MZT Skopje Aerodrom will be hosting Mornar-Barsko zlato at home in their Jane Sandanski Arena in Skopje.

It is a battle of the two squads, currently from the bottom half of the standings, that haven’t been successful lately in the regional competition and will do everything they can in order to return to the winning track. While MZT Skopje Aerodrom have been defeated in Round 5 on the road in Ljubljana by Cedevita Olimpija, Mornar-Barsko zlato have suffered three defeats in a row.

MZT Skopje Aerodrom will be counting on their home-court advantage, as they have celebrated a win the last time that they have played at home, facing SC Derby. This time they wish to repeat the same success against Mornar-Barsko zlato, given that their opponents have been defeated in the previous round by – SC Derby.

However, the fact remains that MZT Skopje Aerodrom and Mornar-Barsko zlato have met 4 times before in the regional competition and never ever have MZT prevailed over Mornar so far. So the visiting side will be counting on tradition to help their cause.

Match-up in focus: Perhaps the most interesting match-up this time will be the one on the shooting guard position between Vojdan Stojanovski of MZT Skopje Aerodrom and Vladimir Mihailović of Mornar-Barsko zlato. While Stojanovski has been averaging 10.2 points per game so far in the AdmiralBet ABA League season, Mihailović has been averaging 13.6. How will it be this time?

Head-to-head score in the regional league: In total 0:4; In Skopje 0:2.
