Story of the game: The most important thing is that this match will be played this weekend! The clash between Cibona and Crvena zvezda mts was firstly scheduled for Saturday evening, but as the red & white crew got stuck at the Kazan airport due to ice storm, the two sides agreed to re-schedule the match for Sunday evening.
Anyway, we are in front of a true basketball spectacle. Two old rivals meet again with the same desire - To beat the other one and collect valuable points in the Playoffs race.
Cibona are currently placed at the 3rd spot on the standings with the overall score of 6-2, while on the other side Crvena zvezda mts sit right at the top table with the perfect score of 8 wins out of 8 rounds.
Therefore, it is obvious why we picked this game as the match of the round, while we are about to see who will prevail on Sunday evening.
Match-up in focus: Cibona youngster Ante Žižić is currently the top scorer of the regular season, whie his teammate Željko Šakić is at the 3rd spot on that list. Two of them will face the best defense in the league, as Crvena zvezda mts have conceded the least number of points of all teams in the Regular Season so far. That is our match-up for this game - Žižić & Šakić vs. Crvena zvezda mts team defense.
Head to head in regional league: In total 11:19; In Zagreb 9:5.
