2017/18 ABA League Regular Season, Round 7, Saturday, 4.11.2017:
Where? FMP Sports Hall, Belgrade
When? 17:00
Story of the game: It will be an exciting basketball afternoon for the Belgrade fans, as FMP will be hosting Cibona at home in FMP Sports Hall.
The two teams have begun the season well, having won three out of their six games played so far and will be battling for a positive percentage this time in Belgrade. The team that wins this one will be placed near the top of the standings, while the defeated one will be in the lower middle of the standings at the moment.
History is on the side of Vladimir Jovanović’s squad, as they have won eight of nine encounters of those two teams in Belgrade so far in the ABA League. However, this of course does not mean that any different outcome would not be possible this time around.
Cibona are coming to Belgrade with all of their players healthy and available (only without Deividas Bušma who has left the team recently), while at the side of FMP, the appearances of Radoš Šešlija and Aleksa Radanov are questionable.
Match-up in focus: It will be an exciting match-up of two former Crvena zvezda mts at the point guard position, as Filip Čović of FMP will try to prove that he is a better scorer than Jahmar Young. Who will shine this time?
Head to head in regional league: In total 12:7; In Belgrade 8:1.
