Story of the Game: The curtain will fall on Round 8 of the AdmiralBet ABA League on Monday evening in Podgorica, where SC Derby will host BC Vienna in a Group B encounter that carries plenty of importance for both sides.

For the home team, the mission is simple - finally get off the mark. SC Derby remain the only winless team in Group B, having suffered six defeats in their opening six games. Despite showing competitive stretches in several encounters, the Podgorica squad have yet to put together a complete performance that would bring them their first victory of the season.

Meanwhile, BC Vienna arrive in Montenegro in a much more positive mood following an important 74:60 road victory against Perspektiva Ilirija in the previous round. That result improved the Austrian team's record to 2-4 and gave them a valuable boost in the battle to climb the Group B standings.

Interestingly, these two teams already know each other well from last season's Play-Out phase, when each side successfully defended its home court. Vienna celebrated a 91:79 victory in Austria, while SC Derby responded with an 83:72 triumph in Podgorica.

Match-up in Focus: Aleksa Uskoković vs. Grant Sherfield.

Two talented guards who carry significant offensive responsibilities for their respective teams will be among the players to watch in Monday's encounter.

Aleksa Uskoković has been SC Derby's leading performer this season, averaging 16 points and 5.8 assists per game. On the other side, Grant Sherfield has emerged as BC Vienna's leading scorer, averaging 17.7 points per game.

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