Story of the game: In the opening game of the Saturday’s AdmiralBet ABA League program, Cedevita Olimpija will be hosting Mega MIS at home in their Stožice Arena in Ljubljana.
For Cedevita Olimpija it has been a rough opening of the 2023/24 season, as they finished 8th at the ABA Super Cup in Podgorica, only to improve their impression immediately afterwards, as they prevailed over Kansai Helios Domžale in the Slovenian Super Cup.
On the other side, Mega MIS have finished in the fifth place at the ABA Super Cup, with 2 victories in 3 games played, as they have demonstrated some high-quality basketball.
In preseason, both squads have demonstrated a solid shape, as Cedevita Olimpija were 5/6 in their preparation games and Mega MIS 4/7.
When speaking of tradition, it’s worth mentioning that Mega MIS haven’t beaten Cedevita Olimpija one single time in Ljubljana, and they have only gathered 1 win in 8 attempts against the Dragons in the entire history.
How will the game unfold this time?
Match-up in focus: Captain Jaka Blažič is back to the AdmiralBet ABA League courts for Cedevita Olimpija and this time he will face Mega MIS rising star Nikola Đurišić in the shooting guard position. It is possible that the player who manages to outperform his opponent in this head-to-head clash would lead his team to the win. Who will it be?
Head-to-head score in the regional league: In total 7:1, In Ljubljana 4:0.
