Battle for the Playoffs in Zagreb

AdmiralBet ABA League Round 25, Friday, 1 April 2022:

CIBONA – IGOKEA M:TEL

Where? Dražen Petrović Arena, Zagreb

When? 18:00

Story of the game: In the opening game of the AdmiralBet ABA League Round 25, Cibona will be hosting Igokea m:tel at home in their Dražen Petrović Arena in Zagreb.

It is a game, that is important to both squads, since by winning it, Igokea m:tel would mathematically secure themselves a spot in the AdmiralBet ABA League Playoffs. On the other side, in case of Cibona’s win, at least their theoretical chances to reaching the Top 6 at the end of the Regular Season, would remain open.

So it is clear why winning in this clash means so much for both sides. And if we take a look at the recent shape of both squads, we see Igokea m:tel having won their last game and Cibona in their last 3.

Will the streaks continue or end in Zagreb?

Match-up in focus: There will be an interesting match-up between two excellent swingmen, as Amar Gegić will test his skills against Marko Jošilo. Both of them are important players for both squads in terms both of scoring and playmaking, so their internal battle might as well decide the outcome of this clash. Who will come out on top?

Head to head in the regional league: in total 8:13; In Zagreb 4:6.
