ABA League Round 20, Saturday, 6 March 2021:
Where? Morača Sports Hall, Podgorica
When? 21:00
Story of the game: Budućnost VOLI and Zadar have been scoring some great results lately, while this Saturday evening they will face each other in Podgorica in ABA League match of the round.
Both sides have triumphed in 4 out of the last 5 games in the regional league, so the atmosphere in each team is at a very high level.
It is interesting to say couple of words about their head-to-head score in ABA League. Zadar have scored 3 wins in their first 4 games in Podgorica in the regional league, but after that they suffered 12 consecutive defeats against Budućnost VOLI on the road. To be fully precise, Zadar haven't scored a win in Podgorica since 2006!
Can Zadar break their 15-year long wait for a win in Podgorica? Or will Budućnost VOLI stay undefeated in this season in which they have won all 7 games in Sports Center Morača so far?
We will find out the answer on Saturday evening.
Match-up in focus: Danilo Nikolić (Budućnost VOLI) vs. Domagoj Vuković (Zadar). These two are very similar types of players. Both Nikolić and Vuković play as power forwards, but they prefer shooting from the distance and they are more than capable of scoring plenty of points if you leave them too much space. Therefore, their duel can decide many things in the upcoming match.
Head to head in the regional league: In total 20:12; In Podgorica 13:3.
