ABA League 8th round, Saturday, 5.11.2016

BUDUĆNOST VOLI - CIBONA

Where? Morača Hall, Podgorica

When? 19:00

Story of the game: Another spectacle is coming up in the Morača Hall, where Budućnost VOLI are set to host Cibona in the battle of two top-tier teams of the ABA League. While the hosts are currently occupying the first place together with Crvena zvezda mts with a perfect record, Cibona are currently placed on third… with just one victory less won so far this season.

However, both teams are in a fantastic shape in the moment, having won the last four games each (Budućnost all 7 so far), so the outcome is impossible to predict, except for one thing – the players of both teams will offer the fans a true basketball treat.

Both teams are currently having a tough time due to injuries of some important players in their rotation. While Budućnost will not be able to count on Sead Šehović and Nemanja Gordić, Cibona’s squad is weakened due to an injury of Žan Mark Šiško. However, the newcomer on the Zagreb team, point guard Scottie Reynolds is expected to make his debut.

Match-up in focus: What an epic battle it will be on the paint – while Cibona are bringing the October MVP Ante Žižić to Morača, the home side have a star center Shawn James, known for his defensive skills (beside his offensive weapons), that will be there to confront him. It is very likely that the winner of this clash will take his team to the win this time around.

Head to head in regional league: In total 13:13; In Podgorica 8:5.
