Story of the game: FMP Meridian will host Cibona on Monday evening in the final game of Round 10.
FMP Meridian will try to bounce back after last week’s defeat against Zadar on the road, while Cibona will do everything they can to end their 4-game losing streak in the AdmiralBet ABA League.
If we take a quick look at their previous duels in Belgrade, we must notice that the Panthers have been enjoying their home-court games against the Wolves for quite some time now. FMP Meridian have won the previous 12 home games against Cibona, while looking at the entire league history FMP Meridian have suffered just one single defeat in Belgrade against their Zagreb rivals.
That happened 18 years ago, when Cibona triumphed against FMP Meridian on the road in the 2003/04 season.
Will FMP Meridian extend that impressive winning streak or will Cibona finally score their first away win against the Panthers since 2004? We are about to find out the answer this Monday evening.
Match-up in focus: We are looking forward to watch the duel of two outstanding point guards in this match.
On one side there will be FMP Meridian top scorer and 4th best scorer of the season Trent Frazier who is averaging 19 points per game, while on the other will be Cibona floor general Borna Kapusta who is the 3rd best passer of the league at the moment with 6.7 assists per game.
Head-to-head score in the regional league: In total 18:9: In Belgrade 12:1.
