As the regular season approaches its climax, Budućnost VOLI and Partizan Mozzart Bet find themselves locked in a fierce battle for supremacy. With only a few games remaining, the outcome of this match could significantly influence Playoffs seedings and home-court advantages.
Budućnost VOLI aim to capitalize on their home-court advantage at Morača Sports Hall, where they've been formidable throughout the season.
