Story of the game: The city of Bar is preparing for another basketball spectacle as this Sunday evening Mornar-Barsko zlato will host Crvena zvezda Meridianbet in Round 23 of the 2022/23 AdmiralBet ABA League regular season.

Mornar-Barsko zlato have scored two big wins in the previous four rounds and have therefore escaped the danger zone. Yet, the Bar troops still haven’t secured their AdmiralBet ABA League status for the next season and will therefore be fully motivated to win every next game, including the upcoming one against the Belgrade giant.

On the other side, Crvena zvezda Meridianbet have lost the top spot on the standings to Partizan Mozzart Bet, but they still have chances to finish the regular season at the 1^st place. In order to do so, the red-and-whites will have to score one more win than their arch rivals in the remaining games, which is why every match in the rest of the season is very important to them.

Crvena zvezda Meridianbet have won the previous 5 games against Mornar-Barsko zlato in the AdmiralBet ABA League. The last time Mornar-Barsko zlato defeated Crvena zvezda Meridianbet in the regional league happened 3 years ago, on February 10, 2020.

Match-up in focus: In this match it will be very interesting to watch the battle of two 23-year-old power forwards Marko Pecarski (Mornar-Barsko zlato) and Filip Petrušev (Crvena zvezda Meridianbet). Both of them are having a very good season and they’ve been one of the best players of their teams in the 2022/23 campaign.

Both Pecarski and Petrušev have the 2^nd best average index rating in their teams in the ongoing season.

Head-to-head in the regional league: In total 2:14; In Bar 2:5.
