Budućnost VOLI to face Igokea m:tel with a Playoffs ticket in their pockets

2023/24 AdmiralBet ABA League Round 21, Monday, 4 March 2024:

BUDUĆNOST VOLI - IGOKEA M:TEL

Where? Morača Sports Hall

When? 19:00

Story of the game: While preparing for their Monday’s game against Igokea m:tel, Budućnost VOLI can brag around that they have become the 2^nd team to qualify for the 2024 AdmiralBet ABA League Playoffs.

Yet, that is only the first out of several goals that the Podgorica side fulfilled for this season. The more important ones are still in front of them and that is why they will be fully motivated to extend their amazing winning streak in the regional competitions that now stretches to 7 games.

On the other side, Igokea m:tel cannot really be satisfied with their recent results as they scored just 2 wins out of the previous 9 rounds. The boys from Laktaši have therefore dropped to the 6th spot and they are no longer safe in the Playoffs zone as they have just 2 wins more than 9th placed Split. Igokea m:tel therefore need to get back on the winning track as soon as possible and it would be perfect for them if that happens already this Monday evening.

Match-up in focus: Nikola Tanasković (Budućnost VOLI) vs. Edin Atić (Igokea m:tel).

This duel will be interesting to watch for several reasons. The first one is obviously that we are here speaking about to players who are among the best in their teams and who are having a very good season.

The second one is that both of them will be facing their former teams. Nikola Tanasković spent the first half of the season in Igokea m:tel and with him in the roster the Laktaši crew were even holding the 2^nd place on the standings at one moment. On the other side, Edin Atić played for Budućnost VOLI from 2021 to 2023 and during that period he was one of the most important players of the blue-and-white squad.

Head-to-head score in the regional league: In total 19:6; In Podgorica 12:0.
