ABA League Round 13, Monday, 30.12.2019:
Where? Ranko Žeravica Hall, Belgrade
Where? 21:00
Story of the game: In the last ABA League match in 2019 we will watch the clash of two local rivals – Mega Bemax vs. FMP. There is something very interesting about their rivalry, but let us first talk about their current position.
Mega Bemax lost that epic battle against Cedevita Olimpija in the last round which was their 3rd consecutive defeat in the competition. The Pink troops are currently all alone at the bottom of the standings and the only way to avoid finishing the year at the last place is to beat FMP in the upcoming match.
However, that won’t be easy as the Panthers are having a fantastic season. FMP currently hold the 4th place on the standings, which means that they are in the Playoffs zone! Can they remain there until the end of the regular season? Well, it depends a lot on the outcome of the match against Mega Bemax.
We have mentioned earlier in the text that there is something very interesting about the rivalry between these two teams. That interesting thing is that neither side has managed to score an away win in their ABA League head-to-head clashes! Mega Bemax have won all 3 previous home games against FMP, while on the other side FMP have defeated Mega Bemax in all 4 games played in FMP Sports Hall.
Will that tradition continue on Monday evening?
Match-up in focus: Kendrick Perry (Mega Bemax) vs. Stefan Pot (FMP). Kendrick Perry arrived in Mega just before the last round and made quite an impression in his first game as he scored 27 points last weekend. At the same time, Stefan Pot has been FMP’s MVP in the previous two games of the ABA League and he now wants to pick up where he left off.
Head to head in the regional league: In total 3:4; At Mega Bemax home court 3:0.
