Story of the Game: Everything is ready for the start of the 2025/26 AdmiralBet ABA League Promotion/Relegation Qualifiers, where Borac Mozzart will host TFT Skopje in Game 1 of the best-of-three series on Thursday evening in Čačak.
Borac Mozzart finished the 2025/26 AdmiralBet ABA League Play-Out stage at the 9th place, which was just enough to avoid direct relegation, but not enough to secure safety. The Čačak side must now go through the Qualifiers in order to keep their AdmiralBet ABA League status for the following season. The good news for Borac Mozzart is that they will have home court advantage in this series and they will try to use that edge to make the first step toward survival already in Game 1.
On the other side, TFT Skopje arrive to Čačak full of confidence after a fantastic campaign in the 2025/26 ABA League 2. The Skopje side reached the Finals despite not having home court advantage in either the quarter-finals or the semi-finals. TFT Skopje managed to upset several higher-seeded opponents on their road toward the Finals and although they were eventually defeated by Široki TT Kabeli in the title series, they left a very strong impression with their performances. Now, TFT Skopje have another opportunity to fulfill their dream and reach the AdmiralBet ABA League. Even though they once again do not have home court advantage, they have already shown throughout the ABA League 2 Playoffs that they know how to win difficult away games.
Match-up in focus: Pavle Nikolić vs. Darrin Govens.
Borac Mozzart’s hopes will heavily depend on their top scorer Pavle Nikolić, who averaged 15.7 points per game this season in the AdmiralBet ABA League. On the other side, TFT Skopje are led by scorer Darrin Govens, who was brilliant throughout the ABA League 2 Playoffs with 17.7 points per game.
