Story of the game: The city of Subotica is ready for a true basketball spectacle this Sunday evening as Spartak Office Shoes welcome Crvena zvezda Meridianbet in one of the biggest derbies of Round 5. Both teams are entering this clash in excellent form, which promises an electric night in Dudova šuma Sports Hall.

Spartak Office Shoes have been one of the biggest surprises of the season so far. The Subotica team currently holds a perfect 3-0 record and stands among the four undefeated teams in the AdmiralBet ABA League.

On the other side, Crvena zvezda Meridianbet are coming to Subotica in scorching form. The red-and-whites have won two consecutive games in the AdmiralBet ABA League and are currently riding a six-game winning streak in the EuroLeague, looking more dominant with each performance. Since Saša Obradović took over the bench, Zvezda haven't lost a single match in any competition.

Recent history between these two clubs adds even more spice to the matchup. Last season, every game between Spartak and Crvena zvezda was thrilling to the very end. In the AdmiralBet ABA League, the visiting side won both encounters, while later in the Serbian Championship semifinals, Spartak stunned everyone by eliminating Zvezda and booking their place in the finals. That dramatic episode still lingers in the memory of both fanbases, making this rematch even more anticipated.

With both sides in top form, all signs point toward another unforgettable night in Subotica. The atmosphere in Dudova šuma Sports Hall is expected to be electric, with fans packing the stands to witness whether Spartak can continue their dream run or if Zvezda will extend their winning streak across all competitions.

Match-up in focus: Olivier Hanlan (Spartak Office Shoes) vs. Codi Miller-McIntyre (Crvena zvezda Meridianbet).

Spartak Office Shoes summer signing Olivier Hanlan has quickly established himself as one of the team’s most important players, while Crvena zvezda Meridianbet floor general Codi Miller-McIntyre has emerged as the true leader of the team since Saša Obradović became the new head coach.

These are the two guards capable of taking over the game at any moment. Their duel could very well decide who stays on the winning path this Sunday night.

Head-to-Head in ABA: In total 1:1; In Subotica 0:1.
