ABA League Round 3, Saturday, 19.10.2019:
Where? Topolica Sports Hall, Bar
Where? 17:00
Story of the game: Perhaps not many have expected this kind of a situation in the standings after two rounds played in the ABA League, but Mornar, that will be hosting Partizan NIS at home in Topolica Sports Hall in Round 3, are currently still perfect after two rounds, with two victories on their record, and their Belgrade rivals are on a 1-1 score after two rounds in the middle of the standings.
By winning another game, at home in Topolica, Mornar would not stay unscratched, but would also pull away from Partizan NIS by 2 wins and that would be a huge advantage in comparison with another team with an ambition of reaching the Playoffs.
For Partizan NIS, things are clear – they need to win this game, not only to catch Mornar in the standings, but also to stay in touch with the best placed teams in the ABA League standings at the moment.
How will the clash unfold?
Match-up in focus: It will for sure be interesting to watch the clash of the home side admiral Derek Ryan Needham and Partizan NIS guard Nemanja Gordić. Both of them are experienced ABA League players and both of them have been facing each other many times before and we need to see who would be more successful this time around. Your prediction?
Head to head in the regional league: In total 3:3; In Bar 2:1.
