Story of the game: It’s always exciting when these two teams face each other and now it’s time for another chapter of this Ljubljana-Zagreb rivalry. It’s Cedevita Olimpija vs. Cibona on Sunday evening in Tivoli Sports Hall.
Cedevita Olimpija are in truly amazing form. The Dragons have won the previous 7 games in the championship and they have the longest still-going winning streak in the league. Cedevita Olimpija have already qualified for the Playoffs, while they are still attempting to reach the 3rd place on the standings, which is why they will be highly motivated to win every remaining game in the regular season, including this one against Cibona.
On the other side, Cibona can play their remaining 3 games in the 2021/22 regular season without any pressure as they sitting tight in the middle of the standings, with no chances of reaching the Playoffs, but also with no worries of being relegated. Still, the Wolves will want to make a sweet revenge for that defeat in the 1st part of the season when they lost the match against Cedevita Olimpija in a thrilling ending – 82:79.
Match-up in focus: In the upcoming match we will watch a duel between the two previous winners of the MVP of the Month award. Cedevita Olimpija star player Jaka Blažič was the AdmiralBet ABA League MVP of March, while Cibona forward Amar Gegić picked up the MVP of February award.
Who will prevail in their direct clash? We will find out on Sunday evening.
Head-to-head score in the regional league: In total 4:1; In Ljubljana 2:0.
