ABA League Round 20, Monday, 4.3.2019:
Where? Morača Sports Hall, Podgorica
When? 21:00
Story of the game: In the last match of Round 20, Budućnost VOLI will host Zadar in Podgorica.
This is a big chance for Budućnost VOLI to tie their score with Cedevita and to make the race for the 2nd spot very interesting in the remaining 2 rounds of the regular season. Of course, in order to actually do that they need to beat Zadar on Monday evening… But, the visitors have their own plans for this match.
Zadar currently have 1 win more than Petrol Olimpija and Krka, who are the two last placed teams on the standings. Being so close to the danger zone, Zadar’s troops will try their best to pull off a major upset in Podgorica in order to move up on the standings.
Still, what you should know is that Zadar haven’t defeated Budućnost VOLI on the road since 2006! In their last 10 games in Sports Center Morača, Budućnost VOLI have triumphed in every single one of them.
Match-up in focus: Goga Bitadze is back in Budućnost VOLI roster and you all know how good he is in the ongoing season. But, it will be interesting to see how much he can do against much older and more experienced center such Luka Žorić is. After all, Žorić was the ABA League regular season MVP in the last season…
Head to head in the regional league: In total 18:11; In Podgorica 11:3.
