2024/25 AdmiralBet ABA League Round 3, Sunday, 6 October 2024:
PARTIZAN MOZZART BET - CIBONA
Where? Belgrade Arena, Belgrade
When? 19:00
Story of the game: Despite the current team power, this will always be a true regional basketball classic. It’s Partizan Mozzart Bet vs. Cibona.
It is quite obvious that the Belgrade troops are the clear favorites ahead of this duel. The black-and-whites have formed an extremely strong squad that aim to achieve the highest goals in every competition, while on top of that they will have a home-court advantage in the upcoming match, which has always been pretty important in this old rivalry.
Partizan Mozzart Bet have hosted Cibona 22 times in the AdmiralBet ABA League and the Belgrade side triumphed in 20 out of those 22 games.
On the other side, Cibona hope to use the energy from the last round to try stunning the reigning vice-champions. The Wolves played a really good game last weekend when they defeated SC Derby at home court and they will look to repat that performance in the Sunday's clash.
Match-up in focus: Isaac Bonga (Partizan Mozzart Bet) vs. Peter Jok (Cibona).
These two arrived in AdmiralBet ABA League this season and they have already left quite a mark.
Isaac Bonga was one of the best players of Partizan Mozzart Bet in the opening tow rounds of the new season. Last week, he scored 3 three-pointers in the 4th quarter to help his team surive a tough road game in Subotica.
Meanwhile, Peter Jok was also on fire in the last round as he was shooting 4/4 for 3-points in the match against SC Derby. Jok scored 3 out of those 4 three-pointers in the 3rd quarter when Cibona gained the key lead.
Head-to-head score in the regional league: In total 35:11; In Belgrade 20:2.
