NLB MATCH OF THE ROUND: Split host Borac Mozzart in Gripe in Round 4 opener

2023/24 AdmiralBet ABA League Round 4, Friday, 20 October 2023:

SPLIT – BORAC MOZZART

Where? Split Sports Hall, Split 

When? 18:00

Story of the game: In the opening game of the AdmiralBet ABA League Round 4, Split will be hosting Borac Mozzart at home in Split Sports Hall.

It’s a game of two squads, that have had a totally different entry into the 2023/24 season, with Split losing all three games so far and Borac Mozzart winning the first two, only to fall slightly short of a third win in the game against Crvena zvezda Meridianbet in Round 3.

One could argue that a one-sided clash might be expected based on the previous results of the two squads this season, but since Split are playing at home all is open. The Dalmatian side is well-known for the big support that they are receiving from their fans from the stands and for sure this can be the thing that could steer their way towards the first win of the season.

Tradition reveals that the games between the two squads have always been exciting in the regional competition, with Borac Mozzart winning 2 games in Dalmatia and Split one.

So this could go either way. Which way will it be?

Match-up in focus: Perhaps the most interesting match-up in the limelight this time can be the one between Shamiel Stevenson of Split and Tylan Birts of Borac Mozzart. Currently, Stevenson is the top scorer of Split with 15 points scored per game, while Tylan Birts is averaging the same as the second-leading scorer of Borac Mozzart. Who will shine brighter this time and take his team to the win?

Head-to-head score in the regional league: In total 2:4, In Split 1:2.
