Has the black streak that has been going on since November 11 come to an end? The basketball players of SC Derby defeated Mornar that day and since then tied six defeats in the AdmiralBet ABA League - a chance to have a negative streak in Čačak.

In the 15th round of the regional competition, "Students" will visit Borac - the match in "Kraj Morava" will be played tomorrow (Saturday) from 17:XNUMX p.m.

"An important match is ahead of us - Borac is a very experienced team, in which, due to the smaller pool of players, the roles are clearly crystallized," said Petar Mijović, coach of SC Derbi.

The strategist of the Podgorica team spoke about the qualities of the rivals...

"Dinte Baldwin and Paulius Valinskas are the main options in terms of creation and scoring performance, Marko Jošilo and Marko Pavićević as a tandem in positions four and five, along with the rest of the team, make an experienced team that knows how to play," added Mijović.

What is the recipe for such a team?

"Team defense, especially in basic situations, will be a decisive factor in that game," Mijović is clear.

Point guard Igor Drobnjak also expects a difficult visit.

"Borac has changed the team a lot since last season and in the last match they celebrated after a series of defeats. They celebrated convincingly against Cibona in Zagreb and controlled the situation throughout the match. I think it will be most important for us to be maximally focused from the beginning of the match," said Drobnjak.

In addition to wanting to end their winless streak, the "students" are chasing their first triumph outside of Podgorica this season.

"I believe that we are ready, that we played well in certain moments of the last game. We know how difficult it is to celebrate in Čačak, but we believe in ourselves and that we can bring the first away victory," concluded Drobnjak.
