The opening game of the ABA League Round 16 will be a "remake" of the last seasons's semifinals. It's Budućnost VOLI vs. Mega Leks.
ABA League 16th round, Friday, 30.12.2016:
Where? S.C. Morača, Podgorica
When? 17:00
Story of the game: It is this simple - Budućnost VOLI are in a must-win situation. Just couple of weeks ago the squad from Podgorica were all alone at the 2nd spot, but then they suffered 4 consecutive defeats in ABA League and they are now in danger to get out of the Playoffs zone! Therefore, the red alarm has been turned on, while the fans hope that their team will show a proper reaction in this difficult moment.
But, those same fans remember well what happened the last time Budućnost VOLI hosted Mega Leks.
In the last season's ABA League semifinals, Mega Leks triumphed in Podgorica and then eliminated Budućnost VOLI from the title race! The boys from Sremska Mitrovica believe that they can pull off another major upset, so they are well motivated in front of this clash.
Match-up in focus: Suad Šehović has been improving his form day by day since he recovered from injury and he might be the crucial player for the home team in the upcoming match. On the other side, Rade Zagorac just loves playing against Budućnost VOLI. In the last season's semifinals he was the hero of Mega Leks, so the visitors put high hopes in their captain.
Head to head in regional league: In total 5:4; In Podgorica 3:1.
