Story of the game: Crvena zvezda Meridianbet will host Mornar-Barsko zlato in legendary Aleksandar Nikolić Sports Hall, as their home gym in the 2023/24 season Štark Arena is occupied this weekend for another event.
The Belgrade squad have played many historic games in Aleksandar Nikolić Sports Hall, while this Monday evening they will have a chance to climb up to the top spot of the 2023/24 AdmiralBet ABA League standings right in this special place for all the red-and-white fans.
In order to do that, Crvena zvezda Meridianbet will have to beat Mornar-Barsko zlato in the last game of Round 8.
At the same time, the Bar troops are not really coming to Belgrade in great mood as things in the season are not looking bright for them. Mornar-Barsko zlato were sharing the last place on the standings before this round and that forced the club management make some drastic changes in the roster. The club announced that they parted ways with Makol Mawien and Jamal Johnson, while they signed a contract with new point guard Tavian Dunn-Martin. We are about to see how will these changes affect the team results in the upcoming period.
Match-up in focus: Mike Tobey has had some ups and downs since he arrived in Crvena zvezda Meridianbet last summer, but we can all agree that his performances in AdmiralBet ABA League were very good. Tobey is the 4th best scorer of Crvena zvezda Meridianbet in the regional league this season with 11.3 points per game, so the upcoming game might use him to gain more confidence for the future.
On the other side, Mornar-Barsko zlato’s center Alex Gavrilović is also having a solid season so far as he is the 2nd best scorer of his team in the 2023/24 AdmiralBet ABA League with 12.1 points per game.
Therefore, it should be interesting to watch the duel of these two big guys in the upcoming game.
Head-to-head score in the regional league: In total 15:2; In Belgrade 9:0.
