ABA League Round 2, Sunday, 7.10.2018:

BUDUČNOST VOLI - CRVENA ZVEZDA MTS

Where? S. C. Morača, Podgorica

When? 19:00

Story of the game: Over the past few years the rivalry between Budućnost VOLI and Crvena zvezda mts has become even bigger than before, while it has reached its peak in the last season's ABA League Finals when these two teams were fighting for the trophy.

Budućnost VOLI won that battle and clinched their first ever regional title, but Crvena zvezda mts did not wait for too long to take revenge on the big rivals, as they triumphed in the 2018 ABA League Super Cup Final.

Now, they meet again in the 2nd round of the 2018/19 ABA League regular season and this match is definitely very important for both sides. The winner will get an early advantage in the new season and will put a lot of pressure on the other side, so be quite sure that both Budućnost VOLI and Crvena zvezda mts will give everything they got to win on Sunday evening.

Match-up in focus: Alen Omić has just recently joined Budućnost VOLI and he is definitely a huge reinforcement for this team down in the paint. What is interesting is that Omić played for none other than Crvena zvezda mts in the previous season, so he will now face former teammates. Still, he was not a teammate with Michael Ojo, who arrived in Crvena zvezda mts this summer and who is having a fantastic start of the new season. It will be a duel of two basketball giants, but only one can be the winner...

Head to head in regional league: In total 17:18; In Podgorica 14:3.
