The big local derby between a Zagreb side and Zadar will take place at the opening of the ABA League fourth round, as Zadar are coming to Dom sportova, to challenge Cedevita.
ABA League 4th round, Saturday, 8.10.2016:
Where? Dom sportova, Zagreb
When? 19:00
Story of the game: The first game of the fourth round is going to be a big one, as Zadar are coming to the capital to face Cedevita and revive the great basketball rivalry of Zadar and Zagreb.
After slow start to the season, Cedevita have finally managed to stand up on their feet by beating MZT Skopje Aerodrom at home in the third round, while on the other side, Zadar are in a completely opposite situation, having won the opener and afterwards lost two tough games against realistic trophy contenders Budućnost VOLI and Crvena zvezda mts.
Both teams have proven that they have lots to offer to true basketball fans and that they are aiming high this season so the game is expected to be a true delight for the spectators in the stands. If you are from Zagreb, you certainly must not miss this one.
Match-up in focus: Ivan Marinković, the MVP of ABA League Round 1, is for sure one of the hottest big men of the league right now and the last season’s MVP of the ABA League Miro Bilan will be a perfect match for him. Who will be the stronger in the battle of two giants this time?
Head to head in regional league: In total 6:6; In Zagreb 3:3.
