2025/26 AdmiralBet ABA League Play-out Round 2, Saturday, 7 March 2026:
SPARTAK OFFICE SHOES – FMP
Where? Dudova šuma Sports Hall, Subotica
When? 19:00
Story of the game: On Saturday night, Spartak Office Shoes will be hosting FMP at home in their Dudova šuma Sports Hall in Subotica.
It’s a derby game of two currently top-placed teams of the Play-out stage of the competition and for sure two of them, that wish to keep winning in this phase in order to secure themselves a spot in the Play-in when the second stage ends.
Currently, Spartak Office Shoes are the top-phased team of the standings with a record of 8:9, while on the other side, FMP comes second, with a record of 7:10. So it’s clear that a win assures Spartak to remain atop of the standings, while for FMP, a victory would mean that they would manage to tie themselves at the top with the Subotica squad.
Lately, the shape of the two sides has been similar. While Spartak Office Shoes have lost their last game and FMP won 2 in a row, both of the two sides have triumphed in two of their last five games and both of them wish to improve this record in the forthcoming rounds.
Match-up in focus: Perhaps the most interesting match-up of the game can be the one between Olivier Hanlan and Joshua Scott. While Hanlan has been leading Spartak Office Shoes in scoring, while coming second in passing with an average of 13.2 points and 3.8 assists per game, Scott is averaging 11.7 points and 3.1 assists per game as FMP’s both second-leading scorer and passer. Who will be able to lead his team to the win this time around?
Head-to-head score in ABA: In total 1:1; In Subotica 1:0.
