Can SC Derby advance to the semifinals? - SC Derby - Partizan Mozzart Bet

AdmiralBet ABA League Quarterfinals Round 2, Thursday, 17 May 2023:

SC DERBY - PARTIZAN MOZZART BET

Where? Morača sports hall, Podgorica

When? 19:00

Story of the game: Following their stunning upset against 1-seed Partizan Mozzart Bet, SC Derby is looking to complete the sweep on their home court but it will not be easy as the black and white will certainly come out fighting to fix their game one loss and force a game 3 in Belgrade. 

Without a doubt it will be an exciting game in Podgorica, can SC Derby complete their historic run or will Partizan Mozzart Bet force a game 3 on their home court? The winner of this series will go on to face Cedevita Olimpija in the semifinals who bested FMP Soccerbet in the quarterfinals. 

The match-up in focus: After game 1 all eyes will be on the battle in the paint between Zvonimir Ivišić and Mathias Lessort. Ivišić exploded in game 1 to lead SC Derby to their first-ever playoff win, but Lessort will definitely want to put together a better performance to extend Partizan Mozzart Bet's season. Can Zvonimir Ivišić come out with another big performance or will Mathias Lessort lead the black-and-white to a season-saving win? 

Head-to-head score in the regional league: In total 1:4; In Podgorica 0:2.
