ABA League 25th round, Monday, 6.3.2017:
BUDUĆNOST VOLI - MZT SKOPJE AERODROM
Where? S.C. Morača, Podgorica
When? 18:00
Story of the game: Budućnost VOLI still hope that they can reach the 2nd place on the standings and therefore have the home court advantage in the semifinals. In order to do so they will need to win in the both remaining rounds of the regular season, but also to wait for some defeats of their direct rivals.
Anyway, the Blue squad are well determined to do their part of the job, so they await the Monday's match against MZT Skopje Aerodrom fully motivated to score a valuable win.
On the other side, MZT Skopje Aerodrom are one of the teams who are fighting for the ABA League survival. They currently have 8 wins, the same as Zadar and one more than the last placed Krka. As the crew from Skopje have better head to head score against both rivals, one more win in the regular season should put them in the safe zone. Perhaps they will acquire it in Podgorica...
Match-up in focus: We all know what Marcus Williams (Budućnost VOLI) is capable of, especially in offense, while this time he will have a great scorer as a direct opponent - Xavier Thames (MZT Skopje Aerodrom). We are about to see who will have a better shooting night.
Head to head in regional league: In total 7:2; In Podgorica 4:0.
