Story of the game: In the last match of Round 21, SC Derby will host FMP Meridian in Podgorica on Monday evening.
Despite losing their previous match in AdmiralBet ABA League, we can say that SC Derby have been scoring some pretty good results recently, especially at home court as the Podgorica side have seized 3 consecutive wins while playing in front of their fans. With 7 wins on their record, SC Derby are safely distanced from the relegation zone and they are really close to definitely secure their AdmiralBet ABA League status for the following season.
On the other side, FMP Meridian are still in the Playoffs zone, but they have seriously endangered their place among the top 6 teams after losing the previous 6 games in the championship. The Panthers simply need to get back on the winning track as soon as possible and that is why they will be fired up to grab the away win in Podgorica this Monday evening.
In the 1st part of the season, these two teams played a thrilling game in Belgrade in which FMP Meridian prevailed by 104:99.
Match-up in focus: In this match we will watch the battle of two giants as SC Derby big guy Kenan Kamenjaš will face FMP Meridian strong center Ebuka Izundu.
Kamenjaš is having a dream season so far as he is the league’s top rebounder and a player with the highest average index rating at the moment. On the other side, Izundu has also been very good in the 2021/22 campaign and he was one of the best players of his team in the past two games which just confirms that he is in top form at the moment.
Head-to-head score in the regional league: In total 0:1; In Podgorica 0:0.
