Story of the game: In the ABA League Round 21 opener, Zadar will be hosting FMP at home in Krešimir Ćosić Sports Hall in Zadar.
It is an extremely important clash for both sides in their battle to avoid the danger zone near the bottom of the ABA League standings, but only one of them can accomplish their goal this time!

Both squads hold 6 wins in their hands right now after 20 rounds, just like Krka and Split. They have one win less than Partizan NIS and Cibona on their records and 2 more than Borac, which have currently gathered the lowest number of wins in this ABA League season.

So it is clear, that the team that wins this one will be breathing easier ahead of the final 5 rounds of the Regular Season, while the other one will have lots of struggle ahead of it in order to escape the dramating ending of the season.

While Zadar have lost their last 2 ABA League games, against strong opponents in Bar and Podgorica, they have won 3 of their last 5. On the other side, FMP have won 2 of their last 5 games, but lost the last one against Igokea, that is also having a fantastic season.

Which of the two sides will get back on the winning track on Friday night? Watch the game and find out?

Match-up in focus: Dominik Mavra and Filip Čović will be in the limelight as the two opponents will battle one against another in Krešimir Čosić’s Arena. Both of them are the top passers of their respective squads, while Mavra is the second-leading scorer of Zadar and Čović third of FMP. While Mavra is averaging 13.3 points and 4.9 assists per game, Čović is averaging 11.3 points and 6.8 assists per game. Who will come out on top in this match-up and lead his team to the win?

Head to head in the regional league: In total 10:16; In Zadar 8:5.
