NLB MATCH OF THE ROUND: Sunday night spectacle in Podgorica – Budućnost VOLI vs. Partizan Mozzart Bet
It would not be fair for neither team if we say that this is a direct battle for the 2nd place in the regular season as both sides still have some chances to reach the top spot. Yet, one thing we can say – whoever wins the upcoming match will stand all alone at the 2nd place after this round and will therefore come very close of having a home court-advantage in the semi-finals, if they reach that stage of the Playoffs.

Story of the game: It would not be fair for neither team if we say that this is a direct battle for the 2nd place in the regular season as both sides still have some chances to reach the top spot. Yet, one thing we can say – whoever wins the upcoming match will stand all alone at the 2nd place after this round and will therefore come very close of having a home court-advantage in the semi-finals, if they reach that stage of the Playoffs.
Budućnost VOLI and Partizan Mozzart Bet currently have the same overall score of 18-6, while it is worth mentioning that in the 1st part of the season Partizan Mozzart Bet defeated Budućnost VOLI in Belgrade by 96:83.
Yet, in the upcoming match Budućnost VOLI will have home-court advantage and according to the latest info that is coming from Podgorica, the Sports Center Morača will be fully packed on Sunday evening, meaning that the blue-and-whites will have huge help coming from the stands.
Each side will be looking to bounce back after some tough defeats they suffered over the last week. Budućnost VOLI's 10-game winning streak in the AdmiralBet ABA League has come to an end last weekend when they lost the away game against FMP Soccerbet.
On the other side, Partizan Mozzart Bet suffered a heartbreaking home defeat against Olympiacos Piraeus in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague on Thursday evening and we are about to see what will be the team reaction after that tough loss.
Match-up in focus: Yogi Ferrell (Budućnost VOLI) vs. Kevin Punter (Partizan Mozzart Bet).
There is no need introducing these two as you all know how good scorers both Ferrell and Punter are. Each of them can single-handedly change the flow of the game and that is why their performance in the upcoming game might be the key for for each team.
Head-to-head score in the regional league: In total 14:27; In Podgorica 10:9.
