DUBAI - SPARTAK OFFICE SHOES
Where? Coca-Cola Arena, Dubai

Story of the game: The two league newcomers are about to face each other this Saturday evening. It’s Dubai vs. Spartak Office Shoes.
Both sides can be very happy with their results in the previous round.
Dubai have scored an important road win in Čačak that helped them get back on the winning path and regain confidence for the upcoming challenges. At the same time, Spartak Office Shoes seized the historic first ever home-court win in the AdmiralBet ABA League last weekend as they defeated FMP Soccerbet in Subotica.
On top of that, both sides can be satisfied with the way they started their first ever AdmiralBet ABA League campaign. After the opening 4 rounds of the new season, Dubai have the overall score of 3-1, while Spartak Office Shoes are at 2-2.
Match-up in focus: It will be very interesting to watch the duel between the two power forwards with outstanding shooting skills.
Dubai's biggest summer signing Davis Bertans is still getting used to his new team, but last weekend he showed off all of his scoring potential when he dropped 8 points in just couple of minutes of the first quarter of the match vs. Borac Mozzart.
Meanwhile, Danilo Nikolić led Spartak Office Shoes toward the win vs. FMP Soccerbet with 11 points and 9 rebounds, while his excellent performance brought him a place in the last week’s AdmiralBet ABA Fantasy Dream Team.
Head-to-head score in the regional league: In total 0:0.
