2024/25 AdmiralBet ABA League Round 29, Monday, 28 April 2025:
MEGA SUPERBET - SC DERBY
Where? Ranko Žeravica Sports Hall, Belgrade
When? 20:00
Story of the game: Mega Superbet are just one step away from securing a Playoff berth — but they will need to take care of business against SC Derby and also hope that FMP Soccerbet stumble against Budućnost VOLI. Mega currently stand at 15-13 and are riding a strong wave of momentum with four consecutive wins in the AdmiralBet ABA League. A victory here would bring Mega Superbet very close to achieving their goal.
On the other side, SC Derby (10-17) are no longer in the Playoff race and are now playing for pride. The highest they can climb is the 10th place, while they cannot fall below 13th. Still, they will be motivated to break their two-game losing streak and finish the season strong.
Mega Superbet have history on their side as well, having defeated SC Derby in all of their previous three home matchups, while they also claimed a 82:77 road win earlier this season. With the Playoffs within reach, Mega Superbet will be highly motivated to continue their dominant run against the Podgorica side.
Match-up in focus: The battle between the two starting point guards — Mihailo Petrović and Erick Neal — will be crucial in deciding the outcome of this game.
Mihailo Petrović has been sensational over the past month, stepping up as Mega’s leader when it mattered most. He played a key role in each of Mega Superbet’s last four wins, showing maturity beyond his years and delivering clutch plays on both ends of the court.
Meanwhile, Erick Neal remains SC Derby’s main offensive weapon. The lightning-quick guard is currently the team's top scorer and ranks as the 3rd best scorer in the AdmiralBet ABA League this season, averaging 16.2 points per game. Neal’s creativity and scoring instincts make him a constant threat, and he will be looking to spoil Mega Supoerbet's Playoff ambitions with a big performance.
Head-to-head score in the regional league: In total 5:2; At Mega Superbet’s home court 3:0.
