When? 20:00
Story of the game: The fans in Zagreb are about to enjoy another big local derby, as Cibona will host Zadar in the opening game of the eighth round of the season in Dražen Petrović Arena, Zagreb. The clash of the two old rivals has always been a special one, but this time it will be even more.
Zadar are full of optimism, after they have beaten Igokea in the last round of the championship and will do their best to repeat success against Cibona in order to escape the very bottom of the standings. On the other hand, Cibona are no less desperate to write down a new triumph, as they have lost their last game, against FMP, and need a new victory to avoid the danger zone at the bottom fo the standings.
Match-up in focus: This time a matchup of experience and youth will be in the focus, as Marko Tomas, will try to use his routine in order to prevent excellent youngster of Zadar Luka Božić to shine again. Will the experience be enough to stop high-flying ambition this time?
Head to head in regional league: In total 14:16; In Zagreb 114.
