AdmiralBet ABA League Round 24, Monday, 3 April 2023:
MEGA MIS - CRVENA ZVEZDA MERIDIANBET
Where? Ranko Žeravica Sports Hall, Belgrade
When? 18:00
Story of the game: Mega MIS have won 9 out of the previous 10 games in the regular season, while in this round they are about to play against a team that they have never beaten so far in the regional league – Crvena zvezda Meridianbet.
This is definitely one of the hardest tests for Mega's youngsters in the ongoing season, but they are awaiting it full of confidence as they officially secured their place in the Playoffs this weekend. The Pink troops have nothing to lose, so they will do their best to try winning their first game against Crvena zvezda Meridianbet in the AdmiralBet ABA League.
On the other side, Crvena zvezda Meridianbet have boosted the team morale significantly by scoring two wins in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague over the past week, so they are now ready to continue their race for the 1st place in the AdmiralBet ABA League. As you all already know, the red-and-whites need to score one more win than their arch rivals Partizan Mozzart Bet in the remaining games in order to take over the top spot, which is why every next game is like a final to them.
Match-up in focus: Mega MIS power forward Matej Rudan has won the MVP of the Month award in March. Rudan's has been really impressive lately, while he will now have a direct duel with former Mega MIS star player Filip Petrušev who is having an excellent season with Crvena zvezda Meridianbet.
This duel of two young power forwards will definitely be very exciting to watch.
Head-to-head score in the regional league: In total 0:22; At Mega MIS home court: 0:10.
