ABA League 20th round, Monday, 18.1.2016:
CRVENA ZVEZDA TELEKOM - METALAC FARMAKOM
Where? Pionir Hall, Belgrade
When? 21:00
Story of the game: Crvena zvezda Telekom are about to host Metalac Farmakom in Pionir Hall in what will be the last game on schedule in the 20th round of the ABA League.
Both teams have a lot at stake so it will be everything but just a formality. While Crvena zvezda Telekom are currently focused on obtaining the final second place in the standings which would give them a home court advantage in the playoffs, Metalac Farmakom are even in more tense position.
Like the rest of the 10 clubs, that are currently placed below the fourth place, they are fighting to avoid relegation in the ABA League and currently they are only a win above three teams that are placed at the very bottom of the standings.
In the first game of the two sides this season, in the 7th round in Valjevo, we have seen a thriller which eventually went Zvezda's way. Can they confirm it once more, or will Vladimir Đokić's squad arrange an upset?
Match-up in focus: The main focus of the game will be under the rim, as Maik Zirbes, one of the strongest centers of the league will be tested by Metalac Farmakom's frontman Đorđe Majstorović. Which one will jump higher this time?
