Story of the game: Game 2 of the semi-final series between Cedevita Olimpija and Partizan Mozzart Bet will be played this Tuesday evening in Ljubljana.

The home team are looking to bounce back after that Sunday’s defeat in Belgrade and use home court advantage to force Game 3 in this series. On the other side, the visitors want to finish the job and to book their ticket for the 2023 Finals.

What is important to mention is that Cedevita Olimpija have never lost a home game against Partizan Mozzart Bet in AdmiralBet ABA League. The Dragons have won all 4 previous duels against the black-and-whites in Ljubljana and they now hope to extend that impressive winning streak.

Yet, Partizan Mozzart Bet are now coming to Ljubljana full of confidence after a powerful performance in Game 1 in which they scored quite a convincing win to take the lead in this series. It seems that the Belgrade troops have recovered from that tough elimination from the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Playoffs and that they are now fully focused on reaching another regional league Finals.

Match-up in focus: Yogi Ferrell is a true leader of Cedevita Olimpija in the ongoing season. He is the team’s top scorer in the 2022/23 regional league campaign with 16.6 points, while he was Cedevita Olimpija’s top scorer in Game 1 with 13 points.

On the other side, James Nunnally has definitely been the most important player of Partizan Mozzart Bet so far in the 2022/23 AdmiralBet ABA League Playoffs. He played the key role in the quarter-final series vs. SC Derby, while after that he was the top scorer of the Belgrade troops in Game 1 against Cedevita Olimpija with 18 points.

Head-to-head score in the regional league: In total 5:4; In Ljubljana 4:0.
