Cedevita Olimpija meet SC Derby in Saturday night showdown in Stožice

2023/24 AdmiralBet ABA League Round 5, Saturday, 28 October 2023:

CEDEVITA OLIMPIJA – SC DERBY 

Where? Stožice Arena, Ljubljana

When? 21:00

Story of the game: In the last game on schedule on Saturday night, Cedevita Olimpija will be hosting SC Derby at home in their Stožice Arena in Ljubljana.

It is a game of two teams, that will be entering the Round 5 with significantly different stories behind them so far. While Cedevita Olimpija, a team that always has the highest ambitions in mind when it comes to AdmiraBet ABA League, have finished the ABA Super Cup in the last, 8th place, and have only won 2 out of their 4 games played in the AdmiralBet ABA League so far, SC Derby have written a true Cinderella story so far this season, having won the ABA Super Cup and also 3 out of their 4 games played so far this season in the AdmialBet ABA League.

It is clear, that Cedevita Olimpija look towards the Round 5 as a possible turning point upwards in the process of their season, especially after having added Klemen Prepelič to their squad, while SC Derby will do all they can to maintain a good rhythm this season and to stay on the winning track.

It’s worth mentioning that in 4 mutual encounters so far in the AdmiralBet, SC Derby haven’t yet managed to prevail over Cedevita Olimpija. Can they break this tradition this time?

Tune in on Saturday night to find out.

Match-up in focus: Perhaps the most interesting of all match-ups in this game can be the one between the two big men – Karlo Matković and Kenan Kamenjaš. Currently, Matković is averaging 8.3 points and 4.5 rebounds per game for Cedevita Olimpija, while on the other end, Kenan Kamenjaš has been averaging 12.3 points and 8 rebounds per game for SC Derby.
