2017/18 ABA League Regular Season, Round 3, Sunday, 8.10.2017:
Where? S.C. Morača, Podgorica
When? 21:00
Story of the game: Budućnost VOLI have suffered a small setback in their 2017/18 ABA League title race as they got defeated by Igokea on the road in the previous round. Now, the Blue squad of Podgorica want to bounce back and the only way to do so is to beat Cibona on Sunday evening in Sports Center Morača.
It is definitely easier said than done, simply because Cibona have formed a very good team for this season. The Blue team of Zagreb have triumphed in their last match in ABA League and they are coming to Podgorica to stay on the winning path.
Match-up in focus: Filip Barović (Budućnost VOLI) was quite good in the previous two rounds, both defensively and offensively. But, so was Luka Žorić (Cibona), who is currently the top scorer of his team. Their duel might actually decide the winner of this match.
Head to head in regional league: In total 13:15; In Podgorica 9:5.
