Story of the game: Big night for basketball fans at the Montenegrin coast – Crvena zvezda mts are coming to Bar, to face Mornar in the opening game of the Saturday’s ABA League schedule in Topolica Sports Hall.
And what’s the story behind the game? It’s far from unimportant for both sides. Crvena zvezda mts wish to win in order to secure the first place in the standings after the end of the regular season and the home court advantage in both Semi-finals and Finals, in case they reach the latter.
On the other side, Mornar are currently Placed in the middle of the standings and have entered the calmer waves after being at the bottom of the standings for the solid part of the season. However, the are still placed only 2 wins above the very bottom of the standings and they need a victory in order to keep calm until the end of the regular season.
The games between Mornar and Zvezda in bar have always been exciting, as in three games between the two in Topolica, Zvezda have won 2 and Mornar 1. However, the odds this time are somewhat on the side of the red and white, as they have lost only one ABA League game so far this season.
Match-up in focus: Nemanja Vranješ against Billy Baron! Vranješ is currently the top scorer (14.5 points per game) and third rebounder (4.7 rebounds per game) and passer of Mornar (2.2 assists per game), while Baron is the third scorer (10.5 points per game) and third passer (3 assists per game) of Crvena zvezda mts. Who will prevail in their clash this time around?
Head to head in the regional league: In total 1:7; In Bar 1:2.
