After a two-week break, the ABA League returns – Buducnost tomorrow welcomes Igokea in the second round of the Top 8 phase of the regional competition.

"Plavi" will play the next four matches in front of their fans, and the first of them is the duel with the team from Laktaši in "Morača".

Buducnost is currently at 13-4, while Igokea has a record of 8-9.

"Igokea plays good basketball, which they showed against Red Star Belgrade. They are always ready for any opponent. They made several changes during the season, so they may still be looking for themselves in some games. However, they have a clear system that they stick to and play aggressive basketball with dangerous forwards. It is up to us to prepare as much as possible and, despite the problems we have with injuries, find the strength and focus to open the rest of the season with a victory," said Podgorica coach Andrej Žakelj in the match announcement.

The team from Podgorica has won all 16 home matches against the team from Lakta so far.

"After the break, I think we are rested and ready for this game, but also for the next ones that await us. Igokea is a very difficult team and showed against Red Star in the previous phase of the competition that it can play equally well even against stronger teams. It is up to us to prepare well. This game will be a very good overture for the upcoming matches, especially in the Eurocup. I believe that we will be ready and maximally focused," said Budućnost basketball player Đorđije Jovanović.

The match at the M:tel Hall "Morača" starts at 5 pm.
