2025/26 AdmiralBet ABA League Top 8 Round 4, Saturday, 21 March 2026:
BUDUĆNOST VOLI – DUBAI BASKETBALL
Where? Morača Sports Hall, Podgorica
When? 20:00
Story of the game: In the opening game of the AdmiralBet ABA League Top 8 Round 4, Budućnost VOLI will be hosting Dubai Basketball at home in their Morača Sports Hall in Podgorica.
It’s a highly important game for both teams that have already secured themselves a Playoffs spot, but are still fighting for as good starting position ahead of Playoffs, as possible. Budućnost VOLI are currently in the third place, with a 15:4 record, two wins behind Dubai Basketball and one win ahead of Crvena zvezda Meridianbet and they need a win to keep things just the way they are and possibly even endanger Dubai’s second place. On the other hand, Dubai Basketball obviously want to prevent that, but also wish to keep aiming at the very top in order to secure themselves the home court advantage in the Playoffs.
The teams have been playing equally well over the past couple of rounds in the regional competition, with each of the two winning 3 of their last 5 games. However, Budućnost VOLI are heading into the game with a streak of 2 wins behind them, while Dubai Basketball have returned to the winning track in the previous round.
The teams have previously met twice in the AdmiralBet ABA League – each of the two having won one of two games and in Podgorica, it has been Budućnost VOLI that have celebrated.
Can Dubai Basketball triumph in Morača for the first time or will the blue and white manage to defend their home court again?
Match-up in focus: Yogi Ferrell against McKinley Wright IV! The former teammates meet again, this time on different sides of the court and what a showdown will it be! While Ferrell is currently the top scorer and passer of Budućnost VOLI, averaging 13.1 points and 3.8 assists per game, Wright has been the top passer of Dubai Basketball with an average of 4.7 assists dished out per game, while contributing 8.6 points per game for the Dubai side.
Head-to-head score in ABA: In total 1:1; In Podgorica 1:0.
