TIVAT, Montenegro (Interstat) — A pair of Montenegrin Prva A Liga teams fighting to climb the standings will meet Sunday when Teodo Tivat hosts Danilovgrad at SC Zupa.

The matchup features two clubs with nearly identical records. Teodo Tivat (9-14 overall) holds a slight edge over Danilovgrad (8-14) in the league table. Both teams are coming off victories in their most recent outings, setting the stage for a competitive clash.

Danilovgrad arrives with momentum from a 72-65 home win over Lovcen Cetinje on March 21. In that game, Branislav Suznjev filled the stat sheet with 8 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists. The guard has been a key facilitator, dishing 7 assists in two of his last four contests. He will need to orchestrate the offense effectively against Teodo’s defense.

The home team counters with the hot hand of forward Tarik Cool, who is coming off a 26-point, 6-assist performance in a 91-78 win against Vukovi Zeta on March 23. Cool has scored 20 or more points in three of his last four games, demonstrating his role as Teodo’s primary scoring threat. His duel with Danilovgrad’s perimeter defense will be critical.

The season series is currently tied. Teodo Tivat won the most recent meeting, though the official score from Saturday, March 28, was listed as 0-0, suggesting a postponement or cancellation. In their last completed matchup on Dec. 27, 2025, Danilovgrad secured a 105-94 home victory.

For Danilovgrad, supporting contributions will likely come from Aleksa Popovic, who had 14 points and 7 rebounds in the win over Lovcen, and center Sefcet Beciragic. Teodo Tivat will rely on center Nikola Stanojevic (17 points, 8 rebounds last game) and forward Jay’Den Turner to balance Cool’s offensive output.

With both teams looking to build winning momentum and improve their playoff positioning, Sunday’s contest promises high effort. Tip-off is set for Sunday, March 29, at SC Zupa in Tivat.
