Story of the game: In the opening game of the Friday’s AdmiralBet ABA League schedule, SC Derby will be hosting Spartak Office Shoes at home in their Morača Sports Hall in Podgorica.
The clash of two squads, that are entering the Play-out stage of the competition from totally different positions is coming up. While Spartak Office Shoes are entering the second stage of the season in he first place in the standings with an 8:8 record, on the other hand, SC Derby are alone at the very bottom, with a record of 3:13.
It’s clear that both squads will be chasing the win at any cost. Spartak Office Shoes need to win in order to strengthen their position at the top in their battle for the Play-in, while on the other side, every game counts now for SC Derby in their battle to avoid relegation and they need to start winning fast in order to accomplish this goal.
Lately, both teams haven’t been shining, as SC Derby only won one of their last 5 games in the Regular Season and lost their last 2 in a row, while on the other side, Spartak Office Shoes only won 2 of their last five in the Regular Season, but have returned to the winning track in Round 18
It’s worth noting, however, that Spartak Office Shoes haven’t managed to celebrate a win over SC Derby yet in the regional competition. In two encounters between the two so far, each time SC Derby prevailed.
Match-up in focus: Perhaps the most exciting match-up of the game is the one between Aleksa Ilić and Danilo Nikolić. While Aleksa Ilić has been the top scorer and top rebounder of SC Derby so far this season, averaging 15.1 points and 8.1 rebounds per game, Danilo Nikolić has been the top scorer and second-leading rebounder of Spartak Office Shoes, with an average of 13 points and 5 rebounds made per game. Who will lead his team to the win this time?
Head-to-head score in ABA: In total 2:0, In Podgorica 1:0.
