Cibona host MZT Skopje Aerodrom in Zagreb

AdmiralBet ABA League Round 13, Friday, 30 December 2022:

CIBONA – MZT SKOPJE AERODROM

Where? Dražen Petrović Arena, Zagreb 

When? 17:00

Story of the game: In the opening game of the Friday’s AdmiralBet ABA League schedule, Cibona will be hosting MZT Skopje Aerodrom at home in their Dražen Petrović Arena in Zagreb.

It’s a clash of two teams with plenty to play for at the moment, even though their positions in the standings and their lately shapes aren’t similar.

While Cibona are on a 5:7 record at the edge of the Playoffs Zone, they need to win in order to extend their 2 games long winning streak and to strengthen their chances of reaching the Top 8 when the Regular Season ends. On the other side, MZT Skopje Aerodrom are currently alone at the very bottom of the AdmiralBet ABA League standings, with a 2:10 record after 12 rounds and they desperately need to end their four games long winless streak in order to improve their chances of escaping the danger area at the bottom.

Only one of them can succeed. Which one will it be? Tune in on Friday night and find out!

Match-up in focus: Perhaps the most interesting match-up of the game will be the one between the two point guards, as Borna Kapusta of Cibona gets to meet Michael Caffey of MZT Skopje Aerodrom. The maestros are currently the top passers of their respective squads, with Kapusta averaging 5.8 assists per game and Caffey 5.3. Which of the two will succeed in leading his squads towards a valuable win?

Head-to-head score in the regional league: In total 7:5; In Zagreb 4:2.
