Crvena Zvezda vs Mornar: Analysis and Prediction – Crvena Zvezda will play at home against Mornar in the ABA League round eight.
Crvena Zvezda vs Mornar Odds
Crvena Zvezda Team News
Crvena Zvezda has achieved six wins in seven games in the ABA League so far. Their only defeat came in the “Eternal Derby” against Partizan by 98:87. Following that, Crvena Zvezda secured wins against Buducnost and Zadar in the adriatic competition.
During this week, Crvena Zvezda played two games in the EuroLeague, securing one win and one loss. After a convincing triumph against Fenerbahce, Ioannis Sfairopoulos’ team lost to Olympiacos in Piraeus, despite having a chance to win. Milos Teodosic is in excellent form, and Yago dos Santos has stepped up his game since the coaching change. Nemanja Nedovic returned after an injury and had an excellent game in Greece, while Joel Bolomboy and Luka Mitrovic consistently dominate under the basket.
In this game, Crvena Zvezda is expected to face no significant challenges against Mornar. Coach Sfairopoulos will likely rest some older players after a demanding week in the EuroLeague, but this will not impact the outcome of the game.
Mornar Team News
Mornar is performing exceptionally poorly this season on all fronts, with a 1-6 record in the ABA League. Their only triumph came a few weeks ago against Krka by 86:83. In the last round, Mornar suffered a heavy defeat against Mega on their home court (65:99).
Mornar’s defense is by far the worst in the entire competition, allowing 91.1 points per game, an astonishing figure at this level. They struggle to limit even weaker teams to below 85 points. While Mornar’s defense has been problematic in previous seasons, their impressive offense compensated for it. This year, they are not excelling on either side of the court. None of the new players have made a positive impression, although Jacobi Boykins has recently recovered from an injury, and much is expected from him.
Mornar is aware that they have little to seek in Belgrade. For head coach Mihailo Pavicevic, this game will likely serve to test some additional options, as it is highly possible that there will be parting ways with some players in the near future.

Mornar suffered a 34-point loss to Mega last week. Similar results occurred in games against Zadar and Buducnost, and it is unlikely that anything will change this Monday in Belgrade.

Even though some veterans may rest, it doesn’t change the fact that they will play with the goal of securing a convincing win.
