ABA League Round 4, Sunday, 21.10.2018:
Where? Dražen Petrović Sports Hall, Zagreb
When? 19:00
Story of the game: The first derby of Zagreb in this season is in front of us, and the game itself is very, very important for each team.
Cibona are still winless in this season and that is something this famous club is not used to. The Wolves haven’t played that bad in the previous 3 rounds, however they somehow lost all 3 games, including the thrillers against Igokea and FMP. But, Cibona crew are not losing their hope. They are well aware that lady luck will smile at them at one moment… Perhaps that will happen this Sunday in the big city derby.
At the same time, Cedevita have scored just 1 win so far in the season and this team is certainly not satisfied with the current overall score. That is why the Orange crew will put everything they got in Sunday’s clash against Cibona, as they simply need to win this match in order to keep up with the leading teams.
Match-up in focus: Johndre Jefferson has already showed that he will be a very important player for Cibona in the ongoing season, while he will now confront Cedevita’s big guy Augusto Lima, who was the team’s best player in the last EuroCup match. We’ll see who will be better this time.
Head to head in regional league: In total 8:11; At Cibona’s court 6:4.
