Will the streaks continue or end in Zagreb?

AdmiralBet ABA League Round 9, Saturday, 3 December 2022:

CIBONA – CEDEVITA OLIMPIJA

Where? Dražen Petrović Arena, Zagreb 

When? 17:00

Story of the game: On Saturday afternoon, Cibona will be hosting Cedevita Olimpija at home in their Dražen Petrović Arena in Zagreb.

It is a game of two squads, that have been in a completely different shapes lately. While Cibona have went on a great start to the season, Cedevita Olimpija did not impress their fans. However, over the past couple of rounds, things have changed. While Cibona have lost 3 games in a row, Cedevita Olimpija have prevailed in tough encounters against Igokea m:tel and Zadar and are on a 2 games long winning streak.

So the question is whether the Dragons can win their third consecutive win in the AdmiralBet ABA League and hand Cibona their fourth consecutive defeat.
As history teaches us, they have won 2 out of 3 games played in Zagreb so far against Cibona and they will definitely want to build on this successful tradition.

Will they succeed? 

Tune in on Saturday and find out!

Match-up in focus: Perhaps the most interesting match-up of the game will be the one between big men Krešimir Ljubičić and Alen Omić. Two kings of the paint have been the key players for their squads so far, leading them in rebounding so far this season with Ljubičić averaging 5.4 rebounds per game and Omić 10.1.
