2017/18 ABA League Regular Season, Round 14, Saturday, 30.12.2017:
Where? FMP Sports Hall, Belgrade
When? 19:00
Story of the game: It’s the last weekend of the year 2017 and we have quite a special game coming up on Saturday evening. FMP will host Partizan NIS in the match which can decide many things in the battle for the Playoffs.
After suffering 3 defeats in a row, FMP crew got back on the winning path last weekend when they beat MZT Skopje Aerodrom on the road. Therefore, now they are full of confidence and are fired up to defeat one of the direct rivals for the 4th spot on the standings.
At the same time, Partizan NIS have lost 4 out of the previous 5 games in ABA league, while their last-week defeat against Mornar at home court was pretty painful. Still, the black & white team are now determined to bounce back, so they are coming to Železnik to take the win.
Match-up in focus: A lot of things will depend on the duel between Filip Čović (FMP) and Nigel Williams-Goss (Partizan NIS). They are the starting point guards and the top scorers of their teams….
Head to head in regional league: In total 3:15; At FMP's home court 2:6.
