UPDATE: Budućnost Voli gears up for a critical EuroCup match against the London Lions tonight at 19:00 (CET) in the MTEL Arena Moraca. After a strong start to the season, the team faces pressure to regain momentum following a tough defeat last week.
New reports confirm that Budućnost Voli, fresh off a commanding victory against the Lions earlier this season (winning 86:59), has been struggling recently, suffering three losses in their last four games. This includes two setbacks in the EuroCup, one against Trento at home and another against Turk Telekom away.
The stakes are high as Budućnost aims to secure a better position in the group standings, especially after starting the season with an impressive record—10 wins in 11 games—before the recent downturn. Coach Andrej Žakelj emphasizes the need for focus and determination. “We must play better than we did in the last EuroCup game, with more focus and toughness,” he stated, acknowledging the improved form of the London Lions, who have bolstered their squad with three new players.
Tonight’s clash is particularly pivotal for Budućnost, as they look to bounce back and reclaim their winning form in front of their home crowd. Tickets are available for prices ranging from €4 to €8 at the ticket office, which opens at 12:00 until the match starts.
The London Lions have shown resilience, recently defeating Trento 87:71 after a loss to Beşiktaş. They are currently sitting with a record of 4 wins and 5 losses and will be a formidable opponent. “I expect a very demanding and intense game,” said Jogi Ferel, Budućnost’s playmaker. He highlighted the importance of maintaining energy from the first whistle and preventing the Lions from dictating the pace of the game.
Historically, Budućnost has dominated the matchup, winning all three previous encounters against the Lions, including two last season. However, with the Lions’ recent upgrades, tonight’s game promises to be fiercely contested.
Fans are urged to rally behind the team, as the players aim to respond with a solid performance. The combination of focus, energy, and strong rebounding will be key to Budućnost’s success in this critical matchup.
As the game approaches, all eyes will be on the MTEL Arena Moraca, where the atmosphere is expected to be electric. Will Budućnost reclaim their winning form, or will the Lions rise to the occasion?
