Story of the game: The two teams currently have the same overall score (7-7) and they are both right at the border of the Top 8 zone, which means that whoever wins the upcoming match will make a big step forward in the race for the Playoffs tickets.
Borac Mozzart are in great shape as they have won 3 out of the last 4 games in the league. On top of that, they have significantly boosted the team confidence after that incredible last-round win against Cibona on the road when they pulled off a sensational comeback in the final seconds of the 4th quarter.
On the other side, Mega MIS are also in a pretty good form as they won the last two games in the league. Most importantly, they have shown that they are still a top-class team despite staying without their best player Nikola Topić who returned to Crvena zvezda Meridianbet.
In the first part of the season, Borac Mozzart and Mega MIS played a thrilling game in Belgrade in which the Čačak troops eventually prevailed by 90:89.
Match-up in focus: After Nikola Topić left the club, Nikola Đurišić took over the leader's role in Mega MIS team and he has already showed that he is up to that task. Last week, Đurišić scored 18 points to lead Mega MIS toward the win against Cedevita Olimpija.
At the same time, Borac Mozzart point guard Ronaldo Segu has been absolutely exceptional in the past few rounds, while last week in Zagreb he made a monster double-double performance with 28 points and 12 assists for the overall index rating of 42.
Head-to-head score in the regional league: In total 3:4; In Čačak 1:2.
