In a game of two teams, that for sure have the ambitions to find themselves in the Play-in when the second stage of the competition ends, the Dalmatian side will try to go on a winning streak, following the Regular Season Round 18 win in Vienna, while Borac Mozzart will try their best to get back on the winning track, as they have been defeated last round at home by U-BT Cluj-Napoca.
Zadar are entering the Play-out stage with a record of 5:11, and this home encounter will be a great opportunity for them to tie themselves in the standings with Borac Mozzart, that are on a 6:10 record, as they head into the second stage of the competition.
It’s worth noting that Borac have not had much success previously while playing in Zadar, as they only won once in 5 mutual encounters against the hosts.
