AdmiralBet ABA League Round 22, Saturday, 18 March 2023:

CEDEVITA OLIMPIJA - CIBONA

Where? Tivoli Sports Hall, Ljubljana

When? 19:00

Story of the game: Cedevita Olimpija will host Cibona this Saturday evening in Round 22 of the 2022/23 AdmiralBet ABA League regular season.

Cedevita Olimpija have made a major change in their team over the last week as they parted ways with head coach Jurica Golemac. The Dragons lost the last round match against Zadar, which was their 6th defeat in the season, and the two sides have decided to terminate their contract after that. We are about to see how will this change affect the team who is trying to finish the regular season at least at the 3rd position.

On the other side, Cibona lost the last-round match against Budućnost VOLI and the Wolves are now two wins away from the Playoffs zone. With just 5 rounds left to be played, it is clear that the Zagreb team have to bounce back as soon as possible in order to keep their Playoffs dream alive.

In the first part of the 2022/23 season, Cedevita Olimpija defeated Cibona in Zagreb by 90:78.

Match-up n focus: Cedevita Olimpija big guy Alen Omić is playing an excellent season as he is currently the 2nd best rebounder of the league, while he is also in the top 10 players of the league when it comes to the highest average index rating. Cibona will try to answer back via their starting center Filip Bundović who played an outstanding game last weekend when he scored 32 points against Budućnost VOLI.

Head-to-head score in the regional league: In total 5:2; In Zagreb 2:1.
