MATCH OF THE ROUND: Battle for the top in Morača!

ABA League Round 10, Saturday, 7.12.2019:

BUDUĆNOST VOLI – CEDEVITA OLIMPIJA

Where? Morača Sports Hall, Podgorica

Where? 18:00

Story of the game: The match of the ABA League Round 10 is going to be a big one, as the leading two squads of the ABA League standings – Budućnost VOLI of Podgorica and Cedevita Olimpija of Ljubljana, will be meeting in Morača Sports Hall to decide which of the two sides deserves to stand at the very top after 10 rounds played.

Currently, Budućnost VOLI is the first placed team with 8 victories grabbed in 9 games, while Cedevita Olimpija are holding the second place with 7 victories grabbed in 9 games. However, while Budućnost VOLI are on a six-games long winning streak, Cedevita Olimpija have won only three games out of their last five and have only won one game in a row (although a big one, against the reigning champions of Crvena zvezda mts).

We also should not forget when discussing the game that the two sides have already met once this season, when they clashed at the ABA Super Cup tournament in Zadar and at that time, Cedevita Olimpija have prevailed decisively, with the score of 103:75. But, since then, much has changed in the Podgorica squad, with the departure of head coach Slobodan Subotić.

Match-up in focus: It’s Justin Cobbs against Codi Miller-McIntyre! The two point guards have been the top names for their teams so far, as both of them are currently the top scorers of their teams, with Justing Cobbs averaging 14.1 points per game and Codi Miller-McIntyre 15.2. When it comes to assists, Miller-McIntyre is also the top passer of Cedevita Olimpija with 4.6 assists dished out per game, while Cobbs is second-best at Budućnost VOLI, averaging 4.6 assists per game.

Head to head in the regional league: 0:0.
