Story of the game: In the opening game of the AdmiralBet ABA League Round 11, Zadar will be hosting Dubai Basketball at home in their Krešimir Ćosić Arena in Zadar.
It’s a game of two squads, that will need their win this time more than ever. While Zadar have been defeated against direct rivals in the Playoffs Race Mega MIS at home last round, and they are now on a 4:6 record, just below the line, Dubai Basketball are now on a 7:3 record, after they have been defeated in Belgrade last round by FMP Soccerbet and have dropped to the fourth place in the standings. Both of them therefore need to keep winning in order to find themselves where they want to be – Zadar within the Playoffs Zone and Dubai Basketball firmly within the Top 4, if not even higher.
Recently, both teams have been in similar shape, having won 3 and lost 2 games in their last 5, respectively. They have also found themselves on the losing track last round.
Which of the two sides will be victorious this time around? Tune in on Friday night and find out!

Who will lead his team to the win in Krešimir Ćosić Arena?
