Where? Borac Sports Hall, Čačak
When? 17:00
Story of the game: A very important game will be played on Sunday evening in Čačak where Borac Mozzart are about to host Igokea m:tel.
It is important for each side and for quite a good reason as both Borac Mozzart and Igokea m:tel are desperate to end their losing streaks.
Borac Mozzart have lost the previous 4 games in the league and they are just 1 win in front of the last placed MZT Skopje Aerodrom. Therefore, the Čačak crew simply need to get back on the winning track as soon as possible in order to escape the relegation zone.
On the other side, Igokea m:tel are on a 5-game losing run in the regional league and that awful streak caused a coach change in Laktaši. Dragan Bajić resigned from the position of head coach, while the club appointed former Crvena zvezda Meridianbet head coach Vladimir Jovanović to replace Bajić. Jovanović will try to put Igokea m:tel back in the Playoffs race as the club from Laktaši is currently outside the top 8 zone.
It is worth mentioning that Borac Mozzart and Igokea m:tel have so far faced each other 5 times in the AdmiralBet ABA League and Igokea m:tel have won all 5 games.
Match-up in focus: In this match we will have a duel between two top-class guards who are currently among the top 10 scorers of the 2022/23 AdmiralBet ABA League regular season.
Hunter Hale (Borac Mozzart) vs. Kendrick Ray (Igokea m:tel).

Head-to-head score in the regional league: In total 0:5; In Čačak 0:2.
