Story of the game: In the opening game of the AdmiralBet ABA League Round 26, FMP Soccerbet will be hosting Mornar-Barsko zlato at home in their FMP Arena in Belgrade.
It’s an extremely important game for both squads, as they are battling to stay in the race for accomplishing their goals for this Regular Season. While FMP Soccerbet are just on the edge of the Playoffs Zone after 25 rounds with a record of 12:13, they need to keep winning in order to stay in a favourable position for reaching the Top 8 when the Regular Season ends. On the other side, Mornar-Barsko zlato have awaken their dream of avoiding relegation to the NLB ABA League 2 and thus need victories in order to escape the last place in the standings, where they currently stand alone, with a 2:23 record, 2 wins behind both Cibona and Krka.
Lately, FMP Soccerbet have won 2 of their last 5 games and are entering this clash after 2 straight defeats. On the other side, Mornar-Barsko zlato have only won once, but this triumph came in the last round, against Krka, so they will try their best to go on the winning run.
Previously, FMP have been fairly confident in mutual encounters against Mornar when playing at home, as they won 6 out of 8 mutual encounters played so far in the entire AdmiralBet ABA League history.
How will this clash end this time? Tune in on Friday night and find out!
