ABA League Round 16, Saturday, 23 January 2021:

BORAC – BUDUĆNOST VOLI

Where? Borac Sports Hall, Čačak

When? 19:00

Story of the game: In the opening game of the ABA League Round 16, Borac will be hosting Budućnost VOLI at home in Čačak.
Borac, that have recently beaten Partizan NIS in the ABA League and have afterwards had a weekend off, due to postponing the game against Crvena zvezda mts, will be fully ready to meet one of the ABA League powerhouses, that are still battling for a Playoffs spot.

On the other side, Budućnost VOLI, after beating Partizan NIS in the ABA League last round, have had a double programme during the week in Ljubljana against Cedevita Olimpija, so they had no time to rest, while losing both of their games in Stožice Arena, so their spirits are not the highest possible at the moment.

However, both squads need to win this time, as Budućnost VOLI need the win to stay in favourable position in the Playoffs race, as they have 3 wins on their record right now. On the other side, Borac are on a 4:8 record right now and they need to win in order to move away from the danger zone near the bottom of the ABA League standings. Which team can accomplish their goal this time?
