2023/24 AdmiralBet ABA League Round 4, Friday, 20 October 2023:
BUDUĆNOST VOLI – CIBONA
Where? Morača Sports Hall, Podgorica
When? 20:00
Story of the game: On Friday night, Budućnost VOLI will be hosting Cibona at home in their Morača Sports Hall in Podgorica.
The still undefeated Budućnost VOLI will be hosting Cibona, that are still to taste the sweetness of the first win. Given the previous performances of the two squads this season, it is clear that Budućnost VOLI present themselves as favourites, heading into this clash, while Cibona could be looked at as underdogs.
However, things aren’t as black and white as they might seem, since Budućnost VOLI’s third round win against Krka was all but smooth, while Cibona proved themselves to be a tough nut to crack even for the reigning champions Partizan Mozzart Bet in Round 3, as they have been up at halftime against the Belgrade powerhouse.
Therefore, one might argue that everything is possible in Podgorica and we simply need to tune in on Friday night and see which of the two squads turns out to be more successful this time.
Match-up in focus: Perhaps the most interesting match-up to watch this time will be the one between McKinley Wright of Budućnost VOLI and Alex Stein of Cibona- While Wright currently comes up as a top scorer and passer of the Podgorica side with 15 points and 4 assists per game, Stein is currently the top passer and third-leading scorer of Cibona with an average of 11 points and 3.7 assists made per game. Who will come out of this battle on top this time?
Head-to-head score in the regional league: In total 26:14, In Podgorica 15:5.
