ABA League Round 17, Sunday, 21.1.2018:
BUDUĆNOST VOLI - PETROL OLIMPIJA
Where? S.C. Morača, Podgorica
When? 19:00
Story of the game: This Sunday evening we will have just 1 ABA League match in the daily schedule, but it should be quite an interesting duel between the two old rivals.
Budućnost VOLI vs. Petrol Olimpija!
The hosts are living their dream, as they are currently the 1st placed team on the ABA League standings, while they are also making excellent results in EuroCup. Still, as there are 6 rounds left to be played in the regular season, Budućnost VOLI haven’t secured the top spot yet, so they need to keep winning. That’s why they will be fully motivated to beat Petrol Olimpija for the 2nd time in this season.
At the same time the visitors are in a really bad rhythm as they have suffered 5 consecutive defeats in the regular season. The Dragons simply need to get back on the winning track as soon as possible, so be quite sure that they will give everything they got to pull off a major upset in Podgorica.
Match-up in focus: Kyle Landry has been one of the best players of Budućnost VOLI recently. His greatest power is that he can score both from inside and outside the paint, which makes him extremely difficult to defend. But, we can say the exact same thing from Petrol Olimpija player Devin Oliver, who loves to play big games. Pay close attention to this duel.
Head to head in regional league: In total 13:16; In Podgorica 8:6.
