2024/25 AdmiralBet ABA League Round 16, Sunday, 12 January 2025:
CEDEVITA OLIMPIJA - FMP SOCCERBET
Where? Stožice Arena, Ljubljana
When? 18:00
Story of the game: Cedevita Olimpija will host FMP Soccerbet in the clash which may determine many things in the race for the Playoffs.
The two teams are currently sitting right at the border of the Top 8 zone. Cedevita Olimpija are sharing the 8th place on the standings with Mega Superbet as both teams have the overall score of 8-7. Meanwhile, FMP Soccerbet are right behind them as the Panthers have the overall score of 7-8 at the moment.
Cedevita Olimpija can say that they are in a pretty good form as they won 6 of the last 7 games in the league. On top of that the Dragons scored a very important win in the BKT EuroCup a couple of days ago when they defeated Aris Thessaloniki.
On the other side, FMP Soccerbet are having some ups and downs throughout the season. After 3 wins in a row, the Panthers are now on a 3-game losing streak, so they will be looking to end that awful run this Sunday evening in Ljubljana.
Match-up in focus: It will be very interesting to watch the duel between two excellent scorers – Brynton Lemar (Cedevita Olimpija) and Joshua Scott (FMP Soccerbet).
Lemar scored 20+ points in 3 of the last 5 games he played in the AdmiralBet ABA League, while Scott scored 33 points combined in the two games he played for FMP Soccerbet since joining the club.
Head-to-head score in the regional league: 9:5; In Ljubljana 5:2.
