2024/25 AdmiralBet ABA League Round 2, Saturday, 28 September 2024:
CRVENA ZVEZDA MERIDIANBET – MORNAR-BARSKO ZLATO
Where? Belgrade Arena, Belgrade
When? 18:00
Story of the game: In the opening game of the Saturday’s AdmiralBet ABA League schedule, Crvena zvezda Meridianbwet will be hosting Mornar-Barsko zlato at home in their Belgrade Arena.
It will be a clash of two squads, that just could not be satisfied with their Round 1 performances and this time they will both do everything they can in order to improve their impressions. While the reigning champions Crvena zvezda Meridianbet have suffered an opening round loss on the road in Dubai to the league newcomers, Mornar-Barsko zlato haven’t been shocked by the defeat against Budućnost VOLI as much as by the margin in this game, which has been 47 points in the end.
It's worth mentioning, however, that Mornar-Barsko zlato haven’t ever prevailed over the red and white on the road in Belgrade in no less than 10 games played so far. Can this game bring us the first upset of the kind this time?
Tune in on Saturday night and find out!
Match-up in focus: Perhaps the most interesting match-up of the game can be expected to be the one between the top scorers of the two respective squads in Round 1 in the forward position – Nikola Kalinić who led Crvena zvezda Meridianbet in scoring in Dubai and Jamari Smith, who topped Mornar-Barsko zlato against Budućnost VOLI, both of which have scored no less than 16 points in Round 1. Who will score more this time?
Head-to-head score in the regional league: In total 17:2; In Belgrade 10:0.
