Story of the Game: The opening round of the Play-Out phase brings a city clash as FMP host Mega Superbet this Sunday evening in Belgrade. While it may not carry the spotlight of the city’s biggest rivalry, this matchup carries enormous competitive weight.
Both teams enter the Play-Out stage tied at 10-16, and the equation is clear - the winner of this clash will move up to 2nd place in the Play-Out standings, a very important position since the top two teams at the end of this phase advance to the Play-In. With margins so thin, every possession on Sunday could shape the rest of the season.
FMP ended the regular season on a positive note, securing a valuable road win against SC Derby to snap a three-game losing streak. That victory not only improved their record but also restored confidence at the perfect moment. Meanwhile, Mega Superbet finished strong as well, winning two of their last three games, including a statement victory over Crvena zvezda Meridianbet, once again proving their ability to rise against top-tier opposition.
Match-up in Focus: One of the most intriguing storylines of this game will be the duel between two of the most efficient players in the league this season. FMP’s Filip Barna is averaging 20.3 index rating per game, placing him 5th on the overall list, and he has consistently been the offensive leader of his team with his scoring versatility and ability to impact multiple areas of the game. On the other side, Mega’s Bogoljub Marković holds the 3rd spot in the league with an average index rating of 22.4, showcasing remarkable consistency and efficiency throughout the campaign. With both players ranking among the Top 5 performers this season, their head-to-head battle could play a decisive role in determining which Belgrade side takes a major step toward the Play-In.
