NLB MATCH OF THE ROUND: Monday night spectacle in Zagreb – Cibona vs. Partizan Mozzart Bet

2023/24 AdmiralBet ABA League Round 16, Monday, 15 January 2024:

CIBONA - PARTIZAN MOZZART BET

Where? Dražen Petrović Sports Hall, Zagreb

When? 18:00

Story of the game: The last game of Round 16 will be a true basketball spectacle as we are about to witness another clash between the two regional giants.

It’s Cibona vs. Partizan Mozzart Bet!

Cibona are approaching this match after scoring a very valuable road win against FMP Soccerbet last weekend. That was the 3^rd win for the Wolves in the last five rounds and that brought them just outside the Playoffs zone. In order to stay on the winning track they will have to pass their probably toughest test so far in this season – they will have to beat the reigning champions. And, they will most probably have a huge help from their fans on that mission as according to the latest news from Zagreb there is a big demand for the game tickets for Monday night.

Meanwhile, Partizan Mozzart Bet are once again topic number one in Europe after that incredible comeback they pulled off against Maccabi Playotika Tel Aviv last week in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague. The black-and-whites have once again showed that they never give up and the same may apply for their race for the top spot in the 2023/24 AdmiralBet ABA League regular season. The Belgrade team will look to win all of their remaining games and hope that may be enough to take over the the 1^st place from their arch rivals Crvena zvezda Meridianbet.

Match-up in focus: Aleksandar Aranitović is the leader of this Cibona crew and he is also the team’s top scorer in the ongoing season with 16.5 points per game.

On the other side, James Nunnally is Partizan Mozzart Bet key man when it comes to the big games and the upcoming NLB Match of the Round definitely represents the big stage he loves so much.

Head-to-head score in the regional league: In total 11:34; In Zagreb 9:12.
