2017/18 ABA League Regular Season, Round 5, Saturday, 14.10.2017:
Where? Morača Sports Centre, Podgorica
When? 17:00
Story of the game: Fans will have lots of exciting things to watch on Saturday afternoon, as Budućnost VOLI will host Mega Bemax in what is going to be a battle of two young and hugely talented teams.
Budućnost VOLI are currently red hot, as they have beaten the league’s reigning champions Crvena zvezda mts on the road in Belgrade and afterwards celebrated on the road in Israel against Hapoel Jerusalem on the road as well. On the other hand, Mega Bemax have been defeated last round by Petrol Olimpija, but this makes their motive to rise even higher.
Budućnost VOLI would definitely stay atop of the standings after five rounds in case of a new vicrtory. On the other hand, for Mega Bemax a new victory would mean that they would tie themselves with the Podgorica side in the standings, perhaps even at the first place, in case the other results of the round went their way as well.
Match-up in focus: What a battle will it be at the point guard position! Two youngsters, Nikola Ivanović, former Mega Bemax player, who is now with Budućnost VOLI, will try to prove that he is better than the current Mega Bemax acquisition Nikola Rebić… will he do it? Tune in on Friday at 17:00 and see!
Head to head in regional league: In total 6:4; In Podgorica 4:1.
