2024/25 AdmiralBet ABA League Round 9, Sunday, 17 November 2024:
FMP SOCCERBET – ZADAR
Where? FMP Arena, Belgrade
When? 12:00
Story of the game: In the opening game of the Sunday’s AdmiralBet ABA League schedule, FMP Soccerbet will be hosting Zadar at home in their FMP Arena in Belgrade.
It’s a game of two squads, that have had a similar start to the season, with FMP Soccerbet being placed just above the edge of the Playoffs Zone right now with a 4:4 record and Zadar just below, with a 3:5 record. Both teams have also won 2 out of their last 4 games in the regional competition, and while FMP Soccerbet have returned to the winning track last round, Zadar have won 2 games in a row recently.
Previously, Zadar have not had much luck when facing the Panthers in Belgrade, as they have only prevailed 3 times against FMP Scoccerbet before in 16 mutual encounters.
Can they fight tradition this time, or will FMP Soccerbet defend their home court? Tune in On Sunday noon and find out!
Match-up in focus: Perhaps the most interesting match-up of the game is the one between the second-leading scorer of FMP Soccerbet and the top scorer of Zadar right now, as Stefan Lazarević faces Amar Gegić. Currently, Lazarević is averaging 15 points in the AdmiralBet ABA League for FMP Soccerbet, while Gegić has been averaging 15.3 points per game in the opening 8 games of the season in the regional competition. It’s highly possible that the winner of this head-to-head clash would be a decisive factor in the battle of the two sides for the win, but we will have to wait until Sunday and find out which one of them would be able to do it.
Head-to-head score in the regional league: In total 20:13; In Belgrade 13:3.
