2024/25 AdmiralBet ABA League Round 6, Saturday, 26 October 2024:
PARTIZAN MOZZART BET – KRKA
Where? Belgrade Arena, Belgrade
When? 19:00
Story of the game: In the opening game of the AdmiralBet ABA League Round 6, Partizan Mozzart Bet will be hosting Krka at home in their Belgrade Arena in Belgrade.
It’s a game in which Partizan Mozzart Bet, that have still not lost a single game in the opening 5 rounds of the season in regional competition, will be hosting Krka, that entered the season with three consecutive defeats, but bounced back over the past two rounds, by beating both Cibona on the road and SC Derby at home.
The main question ahead of the Friday’s game therefore is whether Partizan Mozzart Bet’s or Krka’s winning streak would end.
Previously, it have been the black and white that were more successful in such encounters, as they have prevailed over Krka in 11 out of 13 mutual games in Belgrade. Can they keep up the successful record, or can Krka defy the tradition? Tune in on Friday night and find out!
Match-up in focus: We will all be watching the head to head battle in the limelight between two excellent guards, Carlik Jones of Partizan Mozzart Bet and Krka’s Tayler Persons, both of which are currently the top scorers of their respective squads. While Carlik Jones is averaging 14.4 points per game, he is also Partizan’s second-leading passer, with an average of 3.8 assists per game. On the other side, Persons has been averaging 13.4 points per game, alongside 5.6 assists per game, which also puts his name on top of the list of Krka’s top passers this season.
Head-to-head score in the regional league: In total 21:5; In Belgrade 11:2.
