Where? 17:00
Story of the game: Budućnost VOLI will host Igokea on Sunday evening in Round 18 of the 2019/20 ABA League regular season.
For the start, let's quickly mention the head-to-head score between these two teams when Budućnost VOLI is the host. So far in the history of ABA League, Budućnost VOLI and Igokea have face each other 8 times in Podgorica and the home team have won all 8 games!
Of course, Budućnost VOLI are once again considered as clear favorites and not just because of their winning streak against Igokea in Podgorica, but because of their current position on the standings. The Podgorica side are holding the 2nd spot on the table and they are just a win away from the top-placed Partizan NIS. Therefore, the Blue troops need to keep winning if they want to take over the 1st place.
On the other side, Igokea are currently holding the 8th place on the standings, but they still haven’t secured their ABA League status for the next season. That is why the visitors will most certainly give their best in each of the remaning 5 rounds to collect as many wins as possible in order to stay above the relegation zone. It is also worth mentioning that Igokea have won 4 out of the previous 5 games in the season.
Match-up in focus: Both teams depend a lot on their starting point guards. Justin Cobbs (Budućnost VOLI) currently has the 3rd best average index rating in the league, while Michael Green (Igokea) is holding the 5th place on the same list. Whoever wins the point guard battle, will come very close of winning the game.
Head to head in the regional league: In total 13:4; In Podgorica 8:0.
