ABA League Round 21, Monday, 9.3.2020:

FMP - CRVENA ZVEZDA MTS

Where? FMP Sports Hall

Where? 17:00

Story of the game: FMP will host Crvena zvezda mts in Round 21 of the 2019/20 regular season.

FMP is probably the only team in the league which has nothing to fight for in the remaining two rounds of the regular season. The Panthers have lost the race for the Playoffs, while with 10 wins in their overall score they are safely placed far away from the relegation zone. Still, FMP will most certainly want to finish the season in style as they have a chance to beat the last year’s finalists in the last two games. This weekend they will face the reigning champions Crvena zvezda mts at home court, while next weekend they will play against Budućnost VOLI on the road.

On the other side, Crvena zvezda mts still haven't secured their spot in the Playoffs, which means that they will be fully motivated to grab the away win against FMP. The red & whites have had a pretty successful last week as they firstly defeated Cedevita Olimpija in the derby match of the previous round in the ABA League, while then they played two very good games in the EuroLeague, winning one of them in the process.

It is worth mentioning that Crvena zvezda mts have won the last 8 games against FMP in the ABA League.

Match-up in focus: Stefan Đorđević (FMP) vs. Michael Ojo (Crvena zvezda mts). Stefan Đorđević is FMP’s top scorer in the ongoing season, while we are about to see how much he can do against probably the biggest guy in the league – Crvena zvezda mts center Michael Ojo. Get ready for a true battle of titans.

Head to head in the regional league: In total 8:15; At FMP's home court: 4:6.
