AdmiralBet ABA League Round 14, Sunday, 8 January 2023:

SC DERBY - ZADAR

Where? Morača Sports Hall, Podgorica

When? 18:00

Story of the game: This Monday evening the AdmiralBet ABA League action takes us to Podgorica where SC Derby are about to host Zadar in Round 14 of the 2022/23 regular season.

SC Derby finished the last year in style as they scored 104 points to beat Igokea m:tel at home. The Podgorica team have therefore once again confirmed that they are very good when playing at home court as in this season they suffered only two defeats in Sports Cdenter Morača – against Cedevita Olimpija and Crvena zvezda Meridianbet.

While SC Derby had the best possible ending of 2022, Zadar have finished the previous year with two consecutive defeats. The boys coached by Danijel Jusup lost the games against Cibona and Partizan Mozzart Bet and they now want to end that losing run and start the new year with a big away win.

Both teams can be satisifed with their results in the first part of the season as SC Derby have the overall score of 5-8 and they are just outside the Playoffs zone, while Zadar have the overall score of 7-6 and they are holding the 6th place on the standings.

Match-up in focus: For the second time in this season we will watch the duel of Drežnjak brothers. Mateo Drežnjak is the 4^th best scorer of SC Derby with 10.5 points per game, while Dario Drežnjak is the 2^nd best scorer of Zadar with 14.9 points per game.

As you can see, each of them is having a great season so their upcoming duel should be very interesting to watch.

Head-to-head score in the regional league: In total 2:1; In Podgorica 1:0.
