Sunday matinee in Ljubljana – Zadar coming to town

AdmiralBet ABA League Round 10, Sunday, 5 December 2021:

CEDEVITA OLIMPIJA - ZADAR

Where? Stožice Arena, Ljubljana

When? 12:00

Story of the game: In the Sunday AdmiralBet ABA League matinee, Cedevita Olimpija will be hosting Zadar at home in their Stožice Arena in Ljubljana.

It will be a game of two teams that need to win in order to stay on track with their goals set ahead of the season. While Cedevita Olimpija are currently fifth-placed with the record of 5:4 and need to win in order to stay in a good position in the Playoffs race, Zadar are currently occupying the last place in the standings with a record of 1:8 and need to win in order to improve their chances of escaping the danger zone.

Lately, Cedevita Olimpija have been in a better shape in the AdmiralBet ABA League, as they have won 3 of their last five games, despite losing their last one, while Zadar have won only one of their last five and have lost four games in a row.

Besides that, Zadar have never ever beaten Cedevita Olimpija in Ljubljana so far. For sure they will want to end this negative streak of theirs this time around.

Can the Dragons prevent it from happening?

Match-up in focus: Jacob Pullen or Justin Carter? It seems like the clash of the two American snipers could be the one to watch this time, as the two are at the moment leading scorers of their respective squads. While Pullen is currently averaging 14.6 points per game for Cedevita Olimpija, Justin Carter is averaging 13 for Zadar.

Head to head in the regional league: In total 3:1; In Ljubljana 2:0.
