AdmiralBet ABA League Round 4, Sunday, 23 October 2022:
MEGA MIS - CIBONA
Where? Ranko Žeravica Sports Hall, Podgorica
When? 12:00
Story of the game: In the Sunday’s AdmiralBet ABA League matinee, Mega MIS will be hosting Cibona at home in their Ranko Žeravica Sports Hall in Belgrade.
It will be a clash of two squads with similar, but not completely equal positions right now, as Mega MIS are still waiting for their first win of the AdmiralBet ABA League season, while Cibona have grabbed their first one in Round 3, against Mornar-Barsko zlato, at home in Zagreb.
So the question arises whether Mega MIS would win their first this season or will Cibona win their second in a row.
Taking the tradition into account, one finds out, that Cibona had a hard time winning in Belgrade against Mega in the past, winning only 2 out of their 11 encounters.
How will it end this time?
Match-up in focus: It will be former Cibona big man Danko Branković who will be facing Krešimir Ljubičić in the paint in what might be the crucial match-up of the game. While Branković has been averaging 17 points and 5.7 rebounds per game so far this season in the AdmiralBet ABA League, Krešimir Ljubičić has had an average of 15.5 points and 5.5 rebounds per game. Who will come out on top this time?
Head-to-head score in the regional league: In total 11:7; In Belgrade 7:2.
