BUDUĆNOST VOLI - FMP SOCCERBET
Where? Morača Sports Hall, Podgorica
When? 17:00
Story of the game: With just two rounds remaining in the regular season, Budućnost VOLI have the chance to officially seal the 1st place on the standings. The Podgorica powerhouse currently hold a 25-3 record and know that a win against FMP Soccerbet would mathematically secure them the top spot ahead of the Playoffs. Riding high on momentum and fueled by the noise coming from the Morača Sports Hall stands, Budućnost will aim to continue their dominant run.
On the other side, this game carries massive significance for FMP Soccerbet as well. Sitting at 14-14, they are currently 9th in the standings, just outside the Playoffs zone, trailing Mega Superbet and Spartak Office Shoes by one win. Every match is a must-win for FMP Soccerbet from here, but facing Budućnost VOLI in Podgorica is among the toughest challenges in the league. To make things even harder for the visitors, Budućnost VOLI have won the last 9 head-to-head encounters between these two sides in Podgorica in the AdmiralBet ABA League.
Match-up in focus: All eyes will be on McKinley Wright IV and Filip Barna, two players who have been instrumental for their teams lately.
McKinley Wright IV has been the heartbeat of Budućnost VOLI this season, delivering clutch performances in practically every important game. His court vision, quickness, and ability to take over in crucial moments have repeatedly made the difference for the Podgorica side, and Budućnost will heavily rely on him once again to lead them to victory.
Meanwhile, Filip Barna has emerged as one of FMP Soccerbet’s top performers in recent weeks. The young forward has strung together multiple 20+ point games, showing a blend of scoring versatility and confidence that FMP desperately needs in this Playoff race.
Head-to-head score in the regional league: In total 20:10; In Podgorica 11:3.
