2024/25 AdmiralBet ABA League Round 12, Friday, 13 December 2024:
FMP SOCCERBET – SPLIT
Where? FMP Arena, Belgrade
When? 19:00
Story of the game: On Friday night, FMP Soccerbet will be hosting Split at home in their FMP Arena in Belgrade.
It’s the game in which the Belgrade squad will be chasing their 7th win of the season and Split their 6th and it might as well be one of the most important games for both squads in their battle for a spot in the Playoffs Zone, as both of them are currently placed on one or another side of its edge.
FMP are entering the clash after 2 straight wins, while Split have returned to the winning track last round and for sure both of them will seek to remain on the winning track even after the game in FMP Arena.
Historically speaking, the game will be quite a challenge for Split squad, as they have never ever prevailed over FMP Soccerbet on the road in Belgrade in the entire AdmiralBet ABA League history in 9 attempts made so far. Can this time be their first?
Match-up in focus: Probably the most exciting match-up of the game will be the one between Matic Rebec on one side and Shannon Shorter on the other. While Rebec is currently the top scorer and second-leading passer of FMP Soccerbet, averaging 16.9 points and 3.7 assists per game, Shorter has been averaging 16.4 points, 6.4 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game so far this season as Split’s top scorer and rebounder, as well as second-leading passer. Who will manage to lead his team to the win this time around?
Head-to-head score in the regional league: In total 13:5; In Belgrade 9:0.
