Story of the game: Monday evening is reserved for a true basketball spectacle in Belgrade as FMP Soccerbet are about to host Partizan Mozzart Bet in this week's NLB Match of the Round.
Both sides have already secured their Playoffs spots, yet they still have much to fight for in the regular season.
FMP Soccerbet currently have the overall score of 13-10 and they will try in the remaining games to keep the 5th place on the standings as they are just 1 win in front of 6th placed Mega MIS.
At the same time, Partizan Mozzart Bet (20-2) are in the middle of the fierce race for the top spot with their arch rivals Crvena zvezda Meridianbet (18-3) and the black-and-whites are well aware that one single defeat in the remaining games might mean losing the 1st place at the end of the regular season.
As far as their current form is concerned, FMP Soccerbet can't really be satisfied with their recent results as the Panthers have won just 1 out of their previous 5 games. On the other side, Partizan Mozzart Bet are in top form, as they've been recording some exceptional results lately in both AdmiralBet ABA League and Turkish Airlines EuroLeague. The black-and-whites are on a 12-game winning streak in the regional league and they want to extend that impressive streak this Monday evening.
Match-up in focus: It seems that FMP Soccerbet have really hit the jackpot by signing Charles Moore as the American point guard has been averaging 20.8 points since joining the Panthers. Moore will now try to outplay Partizan Mozzart top scorer Dante Exum who is averaging 11.5 points this season and who is a true leader of the black-and-white crew.
Head-to-head score in the regional league: In total 5:23; At FMP Soccerbet home court 4:9.
