Story of the game: This October is a festive month when it comes to basketball shows in the town of Zadar. After the Dalmatian squad have hosted Partizan Mozzart Bet in Round 5 in Višnjik, in the Round 6, Crvena zvezda Meridianbet are coming to the Dalmatian town of basketball.
It will be a game of two teams that need to win in order to be able to continue chasing their goals set for their season. Zadar haven’t had the dream-like enter to the season this time, as they have only won 1 out of their opening 5 games of the season and they need to start winning quickly in order to return in a position where they will be serious Playoffs contenders.
On the other side, the reigning champions Crvena zvezda Meridianbet have won an important game last round on the road in Podgorica against Budućnost VOLI, but they will need to build on this success in order to keep being amongst the main candidates for the top place in the standings this season, since they have already lost two games so far and are two points behind Partizan Mozzart Bet in the standings after 5 rounds.
Previously the outcomes of the games between the two sides in Zadar have always been tough to predict, as Zadar have celebrated 9 times and Crvena zvezda Meridianbet 13 times.
How will this contest end this time and who will celebrate?
Match-up in focus: Both Zadar and Crvena zvezda Meridianbet have had backcourt stars in excellent shape lately and for sure the match-up in focus this time in Višnjik will be the one between Vladimir Mihailović of Zadar and Nemanja Nedović of Crvena zvezda Meridianbet. They are not only the top scorers of their respective squads this season, with Mihailović averaging 15.6 points per game for Zadar and Nedović 14.8 points per game for Crvena zvezda Meridianbet, but they have also both been shining last round in the derby games of their teams. While Vladimir Mihailović scored 29 points for his Zadar against Partizan Mozzart Bet in Round 5, Nemanja Nedović has scored 24 points for Crvena zvezda Meridianbet against Budućnost VOLI. What a delight it will be to watch the two star players on court this time!
Head-to-head score in the regional league: In total 13:31; In Zadar 9:13.
