Story of the game: In the last game on schedule on Friday night, FMP Meridian will be hosting Cedevita Olimpija at home in their FMP Arena in Belgrade.
Even though at first glance it may seem like the game is not really important from the competitive perspective to any of the two already Playoffs-bound teams, it is far from so.
Besides the fact, that the Dragons will be seeking their revenge over the Panthers for their defeat in Stožice Arena in the third round of the season, both of the squads will be trying to grab a win in order to boost their self-confidence ahead of the most important games coming up for them this season – the ones in the AdmiralBet ABA League Playoffs.
Let’s remember – the first time that the two sides have met this season, it have been FMP Meridian, that have prevailed, with the score of 92:89 on the road in Stožice, after overtime.
Will this time be just as dramatic? Watch the game and find out!
Match-up in focus: Bryce Jones against Yogi Ferrell! The two amongst arguably the best point guards of the AdmiralBet ABA League will face on the court of the FMP Arena in Belgrade this time to test their skills one against another. They are both currently the top scorers of their respective squads, and while Jones has been averaging 6.7 assists per game this season, Ferrelly has dished out 3.5 per game. Who will lead their team to the win this time?
Head to head in the regional league: In total 2:3; In Belgrade 1:1.
