The reigning champions are coming to Bar

2023/24 AdmiralBet ABA League Round 14, Saturday, 30 December 2023:

MORNAR-BARSKO ZLATO - PARTIZAN MOZZART BET

Where? Topolica Sports Hall, Bar

When? 18:00

Story of the game: The biggest New Year’s spectacle in Bar is coming a bit earlier this year as this Saturday evening Mornar-Barsko zlato are about to host AdmiralBet ABA league reigning champions Partizan Mozzart Bet.

Mornar-Barsko zlato definitely can't be happy with their results in the first half of the season as they are currently sitting at the bottom of the table with the overall score of 1-12. Yet, everyone in the club hopes that the team will significantly improve their results in the rest of the season and although it might be too much to expect a sensational win against Partizan Mozzart Bet, this might be good chance for the squad to show that they are capable of making some good performances in the next year.

Meanwhile, Partizan Mozzart Bet are coming to the town with two defeats behind them as they firstly lost the away game against Zadar last weekend in the AdmiralBet ABA League, while after that they suffered home defeat against Virtus Segafredo Bologna in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague. Therefore, the reigning champions will now be fully motivated to get back on the winning track and show a proper reaction after those two tough defeats.

Match-up in focus: It will definitely be interesting to see the duel between the two great shooters Nemanja Vranješ (Mornar-Barsko zlato) and Kevin Punter (Partizan Mozzart Bet).

Vranješ has had some impressive displays against Partizan Mozzart Bet in the past and he is the 4^th best scorer of his team in the ongoing season, while Punter has become one of the most important players of the black-and-whites since recovering from injury.

Head-to-head score in the regional league: In total 4:11; In Bar 3:4.
