Story of the Game: The 2025/26 AdmiralBet ABA League Round 2 brings us another regional classic as Budućnost VOLI welcome Cedevita Olimpija to Morača Sports Hall in Podgorica in what promises to be a true basketball spectacle.
The two regional powerhouses have had completely different starts to the new season. Budućnost VOLI opened their AdmiralBet ABA League campaign with a tough home loss against Spartak Office Shoes, which came as a major disappointment for their fans. The blue-and-whites then suffered another setback during the week in the BKT EuroCup, where they were defeated by Dolomiti Energia Trento.
Now, the Podgorica side will be looking to bounce back and show their true potential in front of their home crowd. With several new players still adapting to the system, Budućnost VOLI are eager to finally click as a team and grab a much-needed win.
On the other hand, Cedevita Olimpija have made a perfect start to their 2025/26 campaign. The Dragons first lifted the Slovenian Supercup, they opened their Admiralbet ABA League journey with a convincing win over Mega Superbet at home, while also boasting a flawless 2-0 record in the BKT EuroCup. The green-and-orange team looks sharp, confident, and extremely well-balanced early in the season.
Whenever these two teams meet, fans can expect high-level basketball and a tense atmosphere. History suggests that the home court advantage plays a key role — Budućnost VOLI have won five out of six home games against Cedevita Olimpija in the AdmiralBet ABA League. The team from Podgorica will hope that this trend continues, especially after a difficult start to their season.
Match-up in Focus: Skylar Mays (Budućnost VOLI) vs DJ Stewart (Cedevita Olimpija).
This duel between two dynamic guards could shape the outcome of the game. Budućnost VOLI’s summer signing Skylar Mays is slowly finding his rhythm, and despite the recent team struggles, he has emerged as their standout performer in the last EuroCup game against Trento.
On the other side, DJ Stewart is currently one of the hottest players in the region. The explosive American guard had a spectacular EuroCup performance just a few days ago, posting 27 points and a 41 index rating.
Head-to-head score in ABA: In total 9:3; In Podgorica 5:1.
