This match may decide many things in the race for the Playoffs. The 3rd placed Budućnost VOLI host the 4th placed Cedevita in the 14th round of ABA League Regular Season.
ABA League 14th round, Sunday, 18.12.2016:
Where? S.C. Morača, Podgorica
When? 19:00
Story of the game: For the second week in a row the basketball fans in Podgorica will have an opportunity to enjoy in a true ABA League derby. This Sunday, Budućnost VOLI face Cedevita, while the match is very important for both sides.
Budućnost VOLI suffered a pretty painful defeat last weekend, when Crvena zvezda mts triumphed in S.C. Morača by margin of 23 points. Still, everyone in Podgorica hope that it was just one bad day for their team and that the Blue squad will show their true face in this round.
On the other side, Cedevita are in really amazing form. They have been writing down wins in every competition they participate, so they arrive in Podgorica full of optimism. And, the Orange crew want to even the score with Budućnost VOLI, as they suffered defeat in Zagreb in the 1st part of the season.
Match-up in focus: Shawn James is still not fully fit so it is a big question how much he will be able to help his teammates in the upcoming clash. Therefore, Zoran Nikolić will once again take over the role of the starting center in Budućnost VOLI and he will have a tough challenge to confront one of the best centers in the league - Miro Bilan of Cedevita.
Head to head in regional league: In total 9:11; In Podgorica 7:3.
