2023/24 AdmiralBet ABA League Round 12, Friday, 15 December 2023:
FMP SOCCERBET – ZADAR
Where? FMP Arena, Belgrade
When? 18:00
Story of the game: In the opening game of the AdmiralBet ABA League Round 12, FMP Soccerbet will be hosting Zadar at home in their FMP Arena in Belgrade.
It’s a clash of two teams that haven’t been too successful lately. FMP Soccerbet will be looking to bounce back from five straight defeats, while on the other hand, Zadar have lost 3 of their last 5 games, including their last home game against Borac Mozzart.
Of course, this game is extremely important for both sides, as both of them wish to find themselves in the AdmiralBet ABA League Playoffs at the end of the season, with Zadar currently having more favourable odds to do so, with a 5:6 record after 11 rounds, which places them on the edge of the Playoffs Zone, and FMP Soccerbet being just below them with a 3:8 record after 11 games played.
History reveals that FMP Arena has been a very tough away court for the Dalmatian squad through the years, as the teams have met each other 15 times in Belgrade so far, with FMP Soccerbet winning 13 of those games and Zadar only 2.
How will the Round 12 end this time?
Match-up in focus: It will be a delight to watch the head-to-head clash between FMP Soccerbet’s Hugo Besson and Zadar’s Luka Božić. While Besson is currently leading FMP Soccerbet in scoring with 16.3 points on his record, and comes second in passing for FMP Soccerbet ith an average of 2.5 assists dished out per game, Božić is currently the top scorer, rebounder and passer of Zadar, averaging 24.6 points, 8.6 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game.
Head-to-head score in the regional league: In total 19:12, In Belgrade 13:2.
