AdmiralBet ABA League Quarterfinals Round 1, Saturday, 29 April 2023:

CEDEVITA OLIMPIJA – FMP SOCCERBET

Where? Stožice Arena, Ljubljana

When? 18:30

Story of the game: In the opening game of the Quarterfinal series, Cedevita Olimpija will be hosting FMP Soccerbet at home in Stožice Arena in Ljubljana.
It is perhaps the series that is expected to be the closest in the entire Quarterfinals, as the two squads have been one next to another in the standings, since Cedevita Olimpija finished the Regular Season with a 17:9 record and FMP Soccerbet on a 14:12 record. They have also met twice in the Regular Season with each of them grabbing one win. Also, the teams have met four times in Ljubljana so far in the entire AdmiralBet ABA League history and each of them celebrated twice.

This time, it all starts over again. The team that wins 2 game in these best of three series advances to Semifinals.

Over the past five games in the Regular Season, both teams have won 2 games, with Cedevita Olimpija being defeated in their last test ahead of the Playoffs and FMP Soccerbet winning the last one.

How will it end this time? Tune in on Saturday night and find out!

Match-up in focus: Perhaps the most interesting match-up of the game will be the one between Yogi Ferrell on one side and Charles Moore on the other. Over the past three rounds it has been quite evident how important Ferrell is for the Dragons, as he has been missing due to an injury and Cedevita Olimpija were defeated 2 times in 3 games. This time the player, that has been averaging 16.2 points and 6 assists per game as the top scorer and passer of Cedevita Olimpija, will be back and he will be facing FMP Soccerbet’s top scorer and passer, as Moore is averaging 17.6 points and 5.6 assists per game in the Regular Season.

Head-to-head score in the regional league: In total 5:3, In Ljubljana 2:2.
