ABA League Round 8, Sunday, 18.11.2018:

BUDUĆNOST VOLI - PARTIZAN NIS

Where? S.C. Morača, Podgorica

When? 19:00

Story of the game: Round 8 brings us a big derby! Budućnost VOLI will host Partizan NIS in Podgorica and this match is definitely very important for both sides.

Budućnost VOLI is currently holding the 3rd place on the standings, with one win more than Partizan NIS who is right behind at the 4th position. Each team has scored 2 wins in a row in the regional league, which means that they have a good atmopshere in the locker room in front of the Sunday's clash.

What is also interesting to mention is that Partizan NIS is one of the rare teams who has the positive head to head score against Budućnost VOLI in Podgorica. The black & whites have won 7 games in this city, while they suffered 6 defeats… Still, it is also important to know that Partizan NIS scored their last triumph in Podgorica 4 years ago. Since then, Budućnost VOLI have scored 4 consecutive home wins against the Belgrade side.

Now, it is time for another chapter of this old rivalry…

Match-up in focus: Budućnost VOLI power forward Earl Clark was pretty impressive last weekend in Bar when his team defeated local rivals Mornar in ABA League, while he also played a very important role in Thursday’s win against Baskonia in EuroLeague. This time, he will confront Partizan NIS big guy Jock Landale, who is having a great season, as he is currently among the team’s top scorers. Only one can prevail on Sunday.

Head to head in regional league: In total 9:18; In Podgorica 6:7.
