Story of the game: FMP Meridian will host Crvena zvezda Meridianbet this Sunday evening in Round 17 of the 2022/23 AdmiralBet ABA League regular season.
FMP Meridian are having a great season. The Panthers have the overall score of 12-4, while they have won 4 out of the last 5 games in the league. And, they do not want to stop now. After all, if they manage to beat the reigning champions, it will be a clear sign that this young team can do really big things in the rest of the season.
On the other side, Crvena zvezda Meridianbet (14-1) have won the last 10 games in the regional league, however they are not really approaching this match in high spirits as they suffered a painful defeat against Partizan Mozzart Bet in the Turkish Airlines Euroleague on Friday evening. Still, the red-and-whites know really well that every game in the rest of the season is very important in the race for the top spot and that is why they will most certainly be fired up to grab the win in this tough away challenge.
Match-up in focus: Trent Frazier (FMP Meridian) vs. Facundo Campazzo (Crvena zvezda Meridianbet).
Oh, this might be a really special duel of two fantastic point guards. Trent Frazier is one of the players that have marked this season so far as he is currently the league’s 3rd best scorer with 20.7 points per game. At the same time, Facundo Campazzo has been averaging 15 points per game in the 5 games he has so far played in AdmiralBet ABA League and his recent performances were truly impressive.
Whoever wins this duel will help his team a lot in the upcoming game.
Head-to-head score in the regional league: In total 8:21; At FMP Meridian home court 4:9.
