2024/25 AdmiralBet ABA League Round 9, Sunday, 17 November 2024:
MORNAR-BARSKO ZLATO - PARTIZAN MOZZART BET
Where? Topolica Sports Hall, Bar
When? 17:00
Story of the game: Despite their current position on the standings, the matches between Mornar-Barsko zlato and Partizan Mozzart Bet are always very special basketball events in Bar.
That is why Topolica Sports Hall might be fully packed on Sunday evening for another clash between these two regional rivals.
You all know that Mornar-Barsko zlato did not start the season well. The Bar troops opened the 2024/25 campaign with 6 consecutive defeats, then they scored their first win of the season against Cibona, but last weekend they were once again defeated as they lost the away game against SC Derby. Mornar-Barsko zlato have made some roster changes recently, so this team definitely expect better days in near future and, most importantly, they hope to escape the bottom of the table where they are standing now all alone with the overall score of 1-7.
Meanwhile, Partizan Mozzart Bet are doing a great job in the AdmiralBet ABA League as they are the only undefeated team in the season after the first 8 rounds. However, we have to mention that the black-and-whites are coming to Bar after a two-game week in the EuroLeague and after suffering two pretty painful defeats in that competition in just couple of days. Partizan Mozzart Bet squad will therefore be looking for a positive reaction as they want to regain confidence by scoring another win in the regional league.
Match-up in focus: Despite being the last-placed team on the standings, Mornar-Barsko zlato currently have the top scorer of the season in their squad. Branden Jenkins is averaging 19.8 points per game and he will definitely be the main offensive power of the Bar troops in the upcoming match.
On the other side, Carlik Jones is Partizan Mozzart Bet top scorer in the ongoing season with 12.7 points per game. On top of that, he is probably the player in the best form at the moment when it comes to the black-and-white team.
Head-to-head score in the regional league: In total 4:12; In Bar 3:5.
