Must-win Game for SC Derby, as They Host Vienna in Morača

2025/26 AdmiralBet ABA League Play-out Round 7, Saturday, 4 April 2026:

SC DERBY – VIENNA

Where? Morača Sports Hall, Podgorica

When? 18:00

Story of the game: On Saturday night, SC Derby will be hosting Vienna at home in their Morača Sports Hall in Podgorica.

This is a game, which means everything for SC Derby. With only 4 games remaining to be played in the Play-out stage of the season, they need to win in order to keep their hopes of escaping one of the last two places in the standings at the end of the second stage of the season. The Podgorica side are on a 5:17 record right now, tied at the bottom with Split, and 2 wins behind Borac Mozzart, which are standing on the 8th place with a 7:15 record. On the other hand, Vienna are comfortably placed in the middle of the Play-out standings with an 8:14 record, safely away at the moment from the danger zone at the bottom, but also 2 wins behind the Play-in zone. They will definitely wish to win this game in order to stay in the Play-in race.

Lately, Vienna have been in a much better form than SC Derby. While the hosts are entering the game after a streak of 2 defeats, and having only won 1 out of their last 5 games played, Vienna have won 3 out of their last 5 games played and won their last game.

The first time the two sides met this season, which also happens to be the only time so far the two sides met in the regional competition before, Vienna won 91:79 at home in their Hallmann Dome. Can SC Derby strike back?

Match-up in focus: Perhaps the key match-up of the game is the one between Darius Johnson and Souley Boum. While Johnson has been the second-leading scorer and third-leading passer of SC Derby with an average of 11.3 points and 3.8 assists per game, Souley Boum has been leading Vienna in both scoring and passing all season long, averaging 18.9 points and 4.2 assists per game.

Head-to-head score in ABA: In total 0:1, In Podgorica 0:0.
