Story of the game: Budućnost VOLI will host Split in the match in which both sides will want to bounce back after last round’s defeats.
Budućnost VOLI were defeated by Crvena zvezda mts on the road in the derby match of the previous round and they now have the overall score of 1-1. It is obvious that the blue-and-whites still need time to find the right rhythm, but it must be mentioned that their performance in both games so far was quite good and there is no reason for panic after one defeat.
On the other side, Split are still winless in the ongoing season, however the Yellow crew had a very hard schedule in the opening two rounds as they faced Crvena zvezda mts and Partizan NIS. It won’t be any easier for them this weekend as they are about to face the league’s vice champions on the away court.
That away court for Split might be a very important thing, because this team have triumphed just once in Podgorica in the history of AdmiralBet ABA League. Split scored their one and only road win against Budućnost VOLI 14 years ago in the 2007/08 season.
The overall head-to-head score between these two teams in Podgorica is 7:1 for Budućnost VOLI.
Match-up in focus: Both sides depend a lot on their starting point guards. Justin Cobbs has been a true leader of Budućnost VOLI over the past few years, while Roko Leni Ukić is a legend in Split and someone who is willing to do everything for his hometown club.
Therefore, this duel should have a big impact on the final score of the upcoming game.
Head-to-head score in the regional league: In total 10:6; In Podgorica 7:1.
