In their last clash, Mega Leks scored a historic win against Budućnost VOLI. Who will be better now?
ABA League 3rd round, Thursday, 6.10.2016:
Where? Sports Hall Pinki, Sremska Mitrovica
When? 21:00
Story of the game: They meet again! After that super exciting clash in the 2015/16 semifinals in which Mega Leks eliminated Budućnost VOLI and advanced to their first ever ABA League Finals, the two sides are about to face each other in the Round 3 of the 2016/17 campaign.
Mega Leks faced quite shock in the previous round as they suffered a pretty heavy defeat against FMP on the road. The squad from Sremska Mitrovica will therefore do everything to return on the winning path immediately, but they will definitely not have an easy job to do such a thing.
Budućnost VOLI entered the new season with big ambitions, and so far everything is going according to their plan. Two wins out of the two games have put the Blue squad among the top teams on the standings, which is definitely the place where they want to stay after the match in Sremska Mitrovica.
Match-up in focus: Marcus Williams vs. Ognjen Jaramaz. On the first look, they are totally different type of players. Williams likes to risk a lot with his passes, while his strongest weapon in offense is his 3pts shot. On the other side, Jaramaz is a hard-worker, a player who can play strong defense for 40 minutes without problems and who likes to go for a lay-up more that to shot from a distance.
Head to head in regional league: In total: 4:4; In Sremska Mitrovica 3:1.
