Game recap: If you had anything planned for this Sunday evening, you better postpone it. Because, it's derby time in ABA League! Crvena zvezda mts host Budućnost VOLI in the match of the round.

The two last season’s finalists meet again after that epic 5-game thriller in the 2018 ABA Playoffs Finals in which Crvena zvezda mts prevailed. They both started the new season with a win, but only one will have the perfect record at the end of the weekend.

Crvena zvezda mts scored a comfortable win against Koper Primorska in the opening round, while during the week they defeated none other than mighty Fenerbahce Istanbul in the EuroLeague. Those two wins have certainly improved the atmosphere inside the locker room after that surprising elimination in the 2019 ABA Super Cup Quarter-Finals. The morale among the squad is now very high and the red & whites are awaiting the derby in good mood.

Budućnost VOLI defeated Zadar at home court at the start of the season, but their mid-week European journey was not so successful, as they suffered another defeat in the EuroCup. Still, the Blue troops know that ABA League is their main priority, so they are coming to Belgrade fired up to get the precious away win.

Match-up in focus: Billy Baron (Crvena zvezda mts) vs. Scott Bamforth (Budućnost VOLI). We are here talking about top-class shooters. If Baron and Bamforth have their day, it is almost impossible to stop them as they will make shots from all around the gym. That is why their duel might decide many things in the match in front of us.

Head to head in the regional league: In total: 23:19; In Belgrade 19:3.
