The basketball players of SC Derby have defeated Buducnost Voli twice in the AdmiralBet ABA league in six matches, and a new surprise will come on Saturday evening in the first Podgorica derby this season.
The "students" leave the role of favorite to the "elder brother", but they don't think of surrendering in advance.
"We are playing against one of the best teams in the ABA League, and it is a great opportunity for our young team to gain experience playing at a high level through these matches against quality opponents. "Buducnost is a real team that fights for the top in both competitions and is the absolute favorite in this match," said coach Petar Mijović.
Derbi certainly sees a chance...
DON'T MISS IT
"Our goal is to enter prepared and to adapt to the aggressiveness of the rival, especially his outside line. We will do everything to present ourselves in the best possible light and show character and quality", added Mijović.
Playmaker Eric Neal wants his team to compete.
"I expect us to do our best. Let's be competitive and try to outplay each other for 40 minutes. I believe that then we would have a chance to be rewarded. We are playing against the favorites, one of the best teams in the league, and there is always the ambition to prove yourself against stronger opponents," Nil concluded.
