ABA League Round 13, Saturday, 2 January 2020:

MEGA SOCCERBET – CEDEVITA OLIMPIJA

Where? Ranko Žeravica Sports Hall, Belgrade

When? 19:00

Story of the game: A big game is coming to Belgrade on Saturday night, as Mega Soccerbet will be hosting Cedevita Olimpija in the clash of two squads, that have been in great shape this season, both of them losing only 3 games so far, which means that both of the two squads are still in the Playoffs race.

Therefore it is clear how important this clash is for the two squads. The one that wins it, will stay in the circle of the most serious Playoffs candidates, while the other one will need to keep fighting hard to return to the right track over the course of the next several rounds.

For Mega the game is especially important since it is a home game, while on the other side, Cedevita Olimpija will try to do their best to stand up after two consecutive defeats in the ABA League, which is now a must for them.

Match-up in focus: Filip Petrušev has been perhaps the most prolific ABA League player so far this season, as he has been averaging 23.3 points alongside 8.2 rebounds per game in the regional competition, which sums up for the average valuation of 27.7. On the other side, there will be Mikael Hopkins this time, as he is know to be a great defensive player and also a great match in rebounding, where he has been averaging 6.9 rebounds per clash this season. Can he be the first to stop Petrušev this season?

Head to head in the regional league: in total 0:2; In Belgrade 0:1.
