ABA League Round 20, Saturday, 10.2.2018:
Where? Pinki Sports Hall, Sremska Mitrovica
When? 19:00
Story of the game: Lots of basketball scouts and fanatic basketball fans will focus their eyes on Sremska Mitrovica on Saturday night, Mega Bemax will be hosting FMP in Pinki Sports Hall, Sremska Mitrovica.
Two young talent-packed teams will battle one against another in a local derby and for sure it will be a showcase of beautiful basketball – especially since the result is not a top priority for any of the two sides right now. Mega Bemax have already found their way out of the danger zone and they will be playing only for pride and to find their way towards the middle of the standings in the regular season’s ending. On the other side, FMP were fighting to take a place in the Playoffs for a long time, but… if Mornar win the opening game of the 20th round, their battle would be over.
The shape of the two teams is currently identical. Both of them have won 2 of their last five games, while losing one game in a row. Predictions are tough to be given at the moment.
Match-up in focus: The main threat for both sides comes from the point guard position. Youth against Experience – Nikola Rebić (13.11 points per game) against Filip Čović (15.47 ppg) will be the two that will be fighting in the battle of top scorers. Which one will be the one to take his team to the win?
Head to head in regional league: In total 1:2; When Mega Bemax are hosts 1:0.
