2023/24 AdmiralBet ABA League Round 4, Sunday, 22 October 2023:
SC DERBY - MORNAR-BARSKO ZLATO
Where? Morača Sports Hall, Podgorica
When? 21:00
Story of the game: SC Derby and Mornar-Barsko zlato are approaching this local clash in a pretty different mood inside their squads.
The Podgorica side can be more than happy with the way they started the season as after winning the 2023 ABA Super Cup, SC Derby have won 2 out of the opening 3 games of the 2023/24 AdmiralBet ABA League campaign and they now want to improve that score even more.
On the other side, Mornar-Barsko zlato are definitely disappointed with their results in the opening three rounds as they have lost all three games so far in the league. Yet, the Bar troops stopped that losing streak over the past week as they defeated Azerbaijan squad Sabah in the first round of the FIBA Europe Cup, while now they are determined to get their first win in the AdmiralBet ABA League as well.
The two local rivals have so far faced each other two times in Podgorica in the regional league and the score is 1-1.
Match-up in focus: Kenan Kamenjaš (SC Derby) vs. Alex Gavrilović (Mornar-Barsko zlato).
Kamenjaš has already showed how big signing he is for SC Derby as he was the MVP of Round 2 when he recorded the index rating of 31. Meanwhile, Gavrilović has turned out to be one of the best signings of Mornar-Barsko zlato over the summer as the big guy is averaging 12.3 points and 4.3 rebounds per game so far in the season.
Therefore, this battle of big guys should decide many things in the upcoming match.
Head-to-head score in the regional league: In total 3:1; In Podgorica 1:1.
