Buducnost vs Partizan: Analysis and Prediction – Buducnost will host Partizan in the ABA League game 2 semifinal series.
Buducnost vs Partizan Odds
Buducnost Team News
Buducnost played very poorly in the first game and lost 78:67, so now Partizan leads 1-0 in the semifinals of the regional competition. Yoan Makoundou with 14 points and Yogi Ferrell with 13 points were the most effective in Andrej Zakelj’s team.
The impression is that much more was expected from Buducnost in Belgrade. The Montenegrin team tormented the black and whites recently in Podgorica and one shot decided the winner in that match. Buducnost started the semifinal duel extremely weak and soft. They conceded 27 points in the first quarter and when that’s the case, not even much stronger teams can hope for anything good against Partizan in Belgrade. They only shot 5/23 for three, which are parameters that cannot encourage Buducnost before the next duel. What can be done is that despite the weak game in the very end, they reached minus four and complicated the match for a moment.
It is also worth mentioning that Buducnost had as many as 20 offensive rebounds, which they mostly failed to materialize, which should change in Podgorica, if they want to win. At the same time, they should play more aggressively in defense and put more pressure on Partizan’s backcourt.
Partizan Team News
Partizan successfully opened the semifinal series with a relatively safe win in Belgrade. The most deserving for that were Zach LeDay with 15 points and Frank Kaminsky with 13 points. Now they face a more difficult task, given that the rival will certainly be motivated to fight back.
What head coach Zeljko Obradovic emphasized was Partizan’s defense in the first game. Buducnost did not manage to find a rhythm in the offense until the very end, and mostly because of this, black and white now have the advantage. Yogi Ferrell, who traditionally gives problems to the Serbian team, was stopped in particular. Despite the fact that he scored 13 points, that was not the case here, as he achieved that performance in the last minutes of the match. Partizan put great pressure on the backcourt of Buducnost, as evidenced by Fletcher McGee’s only three points, with 1/7 for three.
On the other hand, all other segments in the black and white game were not so good. The rival outplayed them, and they also had 14 turnovers. This is what they should regulate in the next meeting, if they want to close the series after two games and avoid drama.

Buducnost vs Partizan Prediction
The impression is that Buducnost has a quality head coach, as well as individual great quality in all positions, in order to further complicate this series. The positive thing for the home team in this meeting is that they saw that even when they play badly, as was the case in the previous match, they have a chance to beat their rivals. It is certain that Buducnost will approach this game more aggressively and will be better at shooting. In this way, they will create problems for Partizan and in the worst case, they will not lose by a margin higher than the offered spread, and it would not be strange if they won.
