The Saturday schedule in ABA League will begin with the match in Zagreb where Cibona host FMP. Two teams are in a very different mood in front of this game...
ABA League 7th round, Friday, 28.10.2016
Where? Dražen Petrović Hall, Zagreb
When? 19:00
Story of the game: Bit by bit Cibona are collecting wins and marching toward the top of the table. The Wolves are currently just behind the leading three (Crvena zvezda mts, Budućnost VOLI, Partizan NIS), with the overall score of 5 wins and only 1 defeat. The club from Zagreb is well aware that every game maters when it comes to the Playoffs race in ABA League, and that is why they want to increase their winning streak in the clash against FMP.
At the same time, the Panthers are approaching Zagreb with 3 consecutive defeats in their bags. After a very good start of the season, FMP suffered some failures and they want to get back on the winning track as soon as possible. Perhaps, they can do it on Saturday in Dražen Petrović Hall.
Match-up in focus: Željko Šakić is having an amazing season. Experienced power forward is one of the key players of Cibona, while this time he will face much younger opponent - Dejan Davidovac. FMP youngster is slowly raising his form, while he is definitely not afraid to confront any player in the league.
Head to head in regional league: In total 6:9; In Zagreb 5:3.
