Where? BT Arena, Cluj-Napoca
When? 19:00
Story of the game: On Saturday night, U-BT Cluj-Napoca will be hosting FMP at home in their BT Arena in Cluj-Napoca.
It’s a game of two teams with Top 8 ambitions that both need to win in order to stay on the right track in their pursuit of one of the top four spots in Group A when the Regular Season ends. Currently, U-BT Cluj-Napoca are on an 8:3 record, siting comfortably within the Top 8 Zone, but they need to win in order to keep things that way. On the other hand, FMP are on a 4:6 record, just below the edge of the Top 8 Zone and they will need to be winning regularly in the remaining rounds of the Regular Season, shall they wish to find themselves amongst the best 8 teams of the season.
Lately, the teams have been in different shapes. While U-BT Cluj-Napoca have won 4 of their last 5 games played this season and 3 in a row lately, FMP have only won in 1 encounter over the past 5, while losing their last 2 in a row.
The first time the two squads met, the Romanian side have celebrated a win on the road in Belgrade. Can the Panthers come up with a sweet revenge in Round 13?
Match-up in focus: Perhaps the key match-up of the game is the one between Daron Russell and Joshua Scott. While Russell has been the top scorer and passer of U-BT Cluj-Napoca so far this season, averaging 15 points and 5.8 assists per game, Scott’s average is 11.6 points and 2.8 assists per game, as FMP’s third-leading scorer and second-leading passer. Who will lead his team to the win this time?
Head-to-head score in ABA: In total 1:0, In Cluj-Napoca 0:0.
