Mega MIS host Cedevita Olimpija in the first game of 2023

AdmiralBet ABA League Round 13, Monday, 2 January 2023:

MEGA MIS – CEDEVITA OLIMPIJA

Where? Ranko Žeravica Sports Hall, Belgrade 

When? 12:00

Story of the game: In the first AdmiralBet ABA League game in the 2023, Mega MIS will be hosting Cedevita Olimpija at home in their Ranko Žeravica Sports Hall in Belgrade.

It’s a game into which the two squads will be heading in totally different shapes, as Mega MIS have recently lost 3 games in a row, while Cedevita Olimpija are on a 6 games long winning streak.

And while Mega MIS are currently on a 3:9 record, trying to find their way out of the danger zone near the bottom of the standings, Cedevita Olimpija are chasing the very top of the standings with a 9:2 record after 11 games played so far this season.

The two sides have faced each other six times so far in the AdmiralBet ABA League history and Cedevita Olimpija were victorious 5 times and Mega MIS only once. However, it occurred last season in the game in Belgrade and it was huge, as Mega MIS celebrated a win with no less than 29 points of margin.

How will it be this time?

Match-up in focus: Perhaps the most interesting match-up will be the one in the paint, where Danko Branković of Mega MIS gets to meet Alen Omić of Cedevita Olimpija. While Branković is currently both top scorer and top passer of Mega MIS, with an average of 14.2 points and 5.6 rebounds per game, Alen Omić is the top rebounder of Cedevita Olimpija with 9.1 rebounds grabbed per game, while scoring 12.5 points per game. Who will prevail under both rims this time?

Head-to-head score in the regional league: In total 1:5; At Mega MIS’ home court 1:2.
