Story of the Game: Round 9 of the Play-Out stage brings a game with major implications, as FMP welcome Vienna on Monday evening in a matchup where both sides have plenty on the line.
FMP are right in the heart of the race for the Play-In, and the situation is crystal clear - everything depends on them. If the Belgrade side win both of their remaining games, they will secure the 2nd place in the Play-Out standings and claim the final Play-In ticket. That makes this upcoming clash a must-win in their push toward the postseason.
On the other side, Vienna are fighting for a completely different, but equally important goal. In their debut AdmiralBet ABA League season, they are still not safe from finishing in the bottom two positions. At the moment, they share the same number of wins as Borac Mozzart and SC Derby, while staying just two wins ahead of last-placed Split. With the danger zone still close, Vienna will be highly motivated to grab a crucial victory on the road.
Match-up in focus: All eyes will be on the offensive duel between Filip Barna and Souleymane Boum.
Barna has been one of the standout performers this season, currently sitting as the league’s 2nd best scorer with 20.7 points per game. His ability to create and score in bunches makes him the key weapon for FMP in games like this.
On the other side, Boum has been equally impressive, ranking 4th on the scoring list with 19.1 points per game. His consistency and scoring versatility give Vienna a reliable offensive leader capable of turning the game in their favor.
Head-to-Head Score in ABA: In total 1:0; In Belgrade 0:0.
