Story of the game: The AdmiralBet ABA League Round 9 is about to get underway with the tip-off coming up in Zagreb in the game between Cibona and Mega MIS.
Red-hot Cibona are entering the game after a phenomenal streak of three games won in a row, with a total record of 3:5 and will be searching for their chance to tie themselves in the standings with their competitors of Belgrade, that are currently on a 4:4 record and have lost their last game, as they have been defeated by Krka at home in Ranko Žeravica Sports Hall in Belgrade.
Taking into account the history of the duels of the two squads, one finds out that it is rather difficult to predict the outcome. Cibona have hosted Mega MIS 10 times in Zagreb so far in the regional competition and each of the two squads have come out victorious five times.
Who will prevail this time? Tune in on Friday night and find out!
Match-up in focus: The head-to-head match-up in the limelight this time will certainly be the one between the two top-notch point guards – Alex Stein of Cibona and Nikola Topić of Mega MIS. While Stein is currently the second leading scorer and passer of Cibona, averaging 11.6 points and 2.6 assists per game this season in the AdmiralBet ABA League, Topić is having a breakout season with the average of 19.6 points and 7.3 assists per game as Mega MIS’ top scorer and passer. Which one of the two floor generals will lead his team to the win this time?
Head-to-head score in the regional league: In total 8:12, In Zagreb 5:5.
