Story of the game: Saturday evening brings us another very interesting game in AdmiralBet ABA League as FMP Meridian are about to host Partizan NIS in Round 20 of the 2021/22 regular season.
FMP Meridian are not really in the best form ahead of this match as they are on a 5-game losing streak in the regional league. The Panthers won their last game in the league in December last year, so they are aware that they have to get back on the winning track as soon as possible in order to stay in the Playoffs zone.
On the other side, Partizan NIS have recently scored some big wins both in AdmiralBet ABA League and in 7Days EuroCup. The black-and-whites are still in the race for the top spot in the regular season and that is why every game, including the upcoming one, is very, very important for them.
It is also important to mention that Partizan NIS have won the last 5 games against FMP Meridian in AdmiralBet ABA League. FMP Meridian scored their last win against Partizan NIS in March 2019.
Match-up in focus: FMP Meridian starting point guard Bryce Jones is the 3rd best scorer of the 2021/22 regular season at the moment and he will definitely be the one to lead the Panthers in the following game. At the same time, Partizan NIS guard Aleksa Avramović has had some very good games in the past few weeks, including the one in the last round against Borac when he was by far the best player of the black-and-whites as he scored 20 points.
Head-to-head score in the regional league: In total 5:21; At FMP Meridian’s home court 4:8.
