AdmiralBet ABA League Round 16, Friday, 22 April 2022:
CIBONA - ZADAR
Where? Dražen Petrović Arena, Zagreb
When? 19:00
Story of the game: On Friday night, Cibona will be hosting Zadar at home in their Dražen Petrović Arena in Zagreb.
Just as any time that the two sides meet, it is expected that this time around, the clash would not be any less exciting, as winning in this local derby is always prestigious.
Currently, the two squads seem to be in a similar shape, as each of them has won just 1 of their last 5 games in the AdmiralBet ABA League and they have both suffered one defeat lately in a row.
The first time that the two sides have met this season, Cibona were the ones to prevail by a single point on the road in Zadar. Can the Dalmatians get their revenge this time?
Tune in on Friday night and find out!
Match-up in focus: Perhaps the most exciting match-up of this game will be the one between the two excellent guards by both squads. Amar Gegić meets Justin Carter. Right now, they are both the top scorers of their respective squads, with Gegić averaging 14 points per game this season and Carter 14.2. It might as well turn out that the one that wins this head-to-head clash would lead his team to the win as well.
Head to head in the regional league: In total 18:21; In Zagreb 13:6.
