AdmiralBet ABA League Round 23, Saturday, 19 March 2022:

SC DERBY – BUDUĆNOST VOLI

Where? Morača Sports Hall, Podgorica

When? 21:00

Story of the game: In the 23rd round of the AdmiralBet ABA League season, SC Derby and Budućnost VOLI will meet in the Podgorica city clash in Morača Sports Hall.

It’s the battle of two city rivals, that will be fighting to return to the winning track, following their recent defeats. Both of them have won 3 games of their last 5, but while SC Derby won their last game against Crvena zvezda mts in Belgrade, Budućnost VOLI have recently been defeated twice in a row – by Zadar and Partizan NIS.

They will be fighting for a win this time, in order to protect their position in the third place in the standings, where they now stand alone, but with only one more win grabbed so far than Cedevita Olimpija, that are occupying the fourth place. On the other side, SC Derby are in the seventh place in the standings, with only 2 wins behind FMP Meridian in the sixth place and are still in the Playoffs race, so the win in Morača this time would be invaluable for them as well.
Who will prevail this time? Tune in on Saturday night and find out!

Match-up in focus: The head to head battle in the limelight will for sure be the one between two point guards and at the same time both top scorers and top passers of their respective squads. Erick Neal meets Justin Cobbs! Currently, Neal is averaging 16.7 points and 7.5 rebounds per game, while Cobbs is averaging 13.4 points and 4.3 rebounds per game. Which one will prevail this time and lead his team to the win?
