FMP SOCCERBET – CIBONA
Where? FMP Arena, Belgrade

Story of the game: On Friday night, the fans in the FMP Arena in Belgrade will be watching the clash between FMP Soccerbet and Cibona.
The question ahead of Friday’s clash is whether FMP Soccerbet can achieve their third win of the season or will Cibona grab their second. Both of the two squads will for sure seek to improve their situation in the standings, with FMP Soccerbet looking to anchor themselves within the Playoffs Zone and Cibona to escape the danger zone near the bottom of the standings, where they are currently just a win away from the last-placed Mornar-Barsko zlato.
It's worth mentioning that FMP Soccerbet have over the past been convincing when speaking of their home court clashes with Cibona, having won 13 out of 15 encounters in total.
Will the tradition continue, or can Cibona prevail in a tough away court?
Match-up in focus: Probably the most exciting match-up you will see in this game is the one between the two point guards Matic Rebec and Anthony Barber. While Rebec is the top scorer and second-leading passer of FMP Soccerbet with an average of 15.8 points and 2.8 assists per game, Barber is both the top scorer and passer of Cibona, averaging 17.5 points and 5.3 assists per game this season. Who will come out on top in this battle?
Head-to-head score in the regional league: In total 20:11; In Belgrade 13:2.
