ABA League Round 22, Monday, 12.3.2018:
Where? Morača Sports Hall
When? 21:00
Story of the game: The last match of the 2017/18 ABA League regular season will be extremely important, as it will decide which team will enter the Playoffs from the 2nd position – Budućnost VOLI or Cedevita.
Cedevita have done their part of the job, as they defeated Partizan NIS on Saturday evening, but the Monday night match between Budućnost VOLI and FMP will be crucial in the race for the 2nd spot.
If Budućnost VOLI win this match, then they will claim the 2nd position ahead of the Playoffs and will therefore have the home court advantage in the semi-finals against Cedevita. On the other side, if FMP win this match, then Budućnost VOLI will stay at the 3rd spot, while Cedevita will take the 2nd position and the home court advantage in the semis.
Meanwhile, FMP’s only motive will be to finish the season with a win and they will do everything they can to make it happen.
Match-up in focus: Nemanja Gordić (Budućnost VOLI) vs. Filip Čović (FMP). They are among the best point guards in the league and that is why we are eager to watch their duel in Morača Sports Hall.
Head to head in regional league: In total 8:7; In Podgorica 4:3.
