ABA League Round 8, Sunday, 24.11.2019:

Where? 18:00
Story of the game: Get ready for a true basketball spectacle in Podgorica on Sunday evening, as Budućnost VOLI are about to host Partizan NIS in this week’s match of the round!
Both sides are approaching this game in quite a good mood. Budućnost VOLI have won 4 consecutive games in the ABA League and 2 games in a row in the EuroCup, while Partizan NIS are on a 3-game winning streak in the ABA League and they have secured the TOP 16 ticket in the EuroCup.
On top of all that, the games between Budućnost VOLI and Partizan NIS have always been very exciting, especially the ones played in Podgorica. The overall head-to-head score at this court is all tied – 7:7, but it is worth mentioning that Partizan NIS haven’t beaten Budućnost VOLI in Podgorica since March 2014.
We are about to see who will prevail this time.
Match-up in focus: Nikola Ivanović (Budućnost VOLI) vs. Nemanja Gordić (Budućnost VOLI). It seems like yesterday when these two players won the 2017/18 ABA League championship as teammates in Budućnost VOLI. They were one of the league’s best point guard tandems in the past few years, however this summer they went on different paths. Ivanović stayed in Budućnost VOLI, while Gordić went back to Partizan NIS, so this Sunday evening they will face each other for the first time in many years…
And did we say that each of them was named the man of the match in the previous round?
Head to head in the regional league: In total 10:19; In Podgorica 7:7.
