2024/25 AdmiralBet ABA League Round 14, Friday, 27 December 2024:
ZADAR – SPARTAK OFFICE SHOES
Where? Krešimir Ćosić Arena, Zadar
When? 17:00
Story of the game: In the opening game of the Friday’s AdmiralBet ABA League schedule, Zadar will be hosting Spartak Office Shoes at home in their Krešimir Ćosić Arena in Zadar.
It’s a game of two teams with apparent Playoffs ambitons, that have also performed quite identically lately. Both of them have won 3 out of their last 5 games played this season and both of them are entering this game following two straight victories, so the question that comes to mind ahead of the clash is which of the two squads will continue their victorious run.
And while Spartak Office Shoes are holding the fifth place in the standings, with a record of 8:5 right now, Zadar are placed on the 10th spot with a record of 6:7.
It’s therefore clear that both teams need to win badly – Zadar in order to improve their record and get closer to the Playoffs Zone and Spartak in order not to lose their favourable position, gained in the opening 13 rounds of the season.
Who will succeed?
Match-up in focus: For sure the most interesting match-up of the game is the one between Vladimir Mihailović and Rasir Bolton. While Mihailović has been the top scorer of Zadar so far this season, averaging 16.1 points per game, while Rasir Bolton has been both top scorer and passer of Spartak Office Shoes so far, with an average of 16.9 points and 3.7 assists made per game. Who will lead his team to the win this time?
Head-to-head score in the regional league: In total 0:0.
