Where? Jane Sandanski Arena, Skopje 

When? 17:00

Story of the game: In the only AdmiralBet ABA League game on schedule for Saturday night, MZT Skopje will be hosting Budućnost VOLI.

It’s a game in which both squads have plenty to play for and the one in which both of the two will be chasing the end of their losing streaks, to start a positive chapter. While MZT Skopje Aerodrom have been defeated seven times in a row, Budućnost VOLI lost two in a row.

And while Budućnost VOLI, with a record of 9:6, needs to start winning again in order to improve their chances of finishing the Regular Season amongst the Top 4, MZT Skopje Aerordrom, currently on a 2:13 record, needs to win badly in order to increase their odds of moving up from the last place in the standings, which brings the relegation towards the NLB ABA League 2.

The two squads have met 6 times in Skopje so far in the AdmiralBet ABA League history and while MZT Skopje Aerodrom prevailed twice, Budućnost VOLI succeeded four times.

How will it be this time?
