AdmiralBet ABA League Round 7, Sunday, 20 November 2022:
Where? Štark Arena, Belgrade
When? 19:00
Story of the game: Partizan Mozzart Bet have never lost a game against Split in AdmiralBet ABA League.
The two former European champions have faced each other 14 times so far in the regional league and the black-and-whites triumphed in all 14 games.
And, these two old rivals are about to meet again this weekend in Belgrade, with Partizan Mozzart Bet once again being the clear favorites ahead of the Sunday’s game.
The black-and-whites are the only undefeated team in the league after the opening 6 rounds as they scored 6 convincing wins to remain all alone at the top of the table. Also, Partizan Mozzart Bet have additionally boosted the team confidence by scoring a huge win in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague on Friday evening when they defeated Maccabi Tel Aviv at home court. The Belgrade powerhouse are having a dream start of the season and they now want to make it even better by adding another win to their 2022/23 AdmiralBet ABA League season record.
On the other side, Split are coming to Belgrade with the overall score of 2-4, but we have to mention that the yellow-and-black crew have won the previous 2 games in the league. That recent form gives Split the right to hope that they might stun the first placed team in the league on the away court, regardless of the fact that they have never defeated Partizan Mozzart Bet in AdmiralBet ABA League so far.
Match-up in focus: James Nunnally is having a pretty good debut season in AdmiralBet ABA League as he is currently the top scorer of Partizan Mozzart Bet with the average score of 12 points per game. Yet, now he will definitely have a worthy opponent as last season’s AdmiralBet ABA League top scorer Shannon Shorter has been on fire lately, leading the Split’s offense with the average score of 19.7 points per game.
It will definitely be exciting to watch the duel between these two amazing scorers.
Head-to-head score in the regional league: In total 14:0; In Belgrade 7:0.
