CEDEVITA OLIMPIJA – IGOKEA M:TEL
Where? Tivoli Sports Hall, Ljubljana

Story of the game: On Saturday night, Cedevita Olimpija will be hosting Igokea m:tel at home in their Tivoli Sports Hall in Ljubljana.
It’s a game of two teams that are currently battling for the fifth place in the standings, which is currently occupied by the Dragons, that are on a 12:7 record, which are followed by Igokea m:tel in the sixth place with a record of 11:8. It is obvious that the team, that wins this game, will strengthen itself in the fifth place, with an ambition to climb a bit further, perhaps to the fourth place, by the end of the season.
The Dragons are entering the game with a streak of five consecutive wins in the AdmiralBet ABA League, while on the other side, Igokea m:tel have lost 2 games in a row, but have won 3 out of their last 5 games played.
The first time the two squads med this season, Igokea m:tel prevailed over Cedevita Olimpija in Laktaši with the final score of 91:78.
Can Cedevita Olimpija get their revenge and extend their winning streak or will Igosi repeat their October success and get back on the winning track?
Match-up in focus: Perhaps the most exciting match-up of the game can be the one between Jaka Blažič and Dragan Milosavljević. While Jaka Blažič has been the third-leading scorer for Cedevita Olimpija this season with an average of 10.9 points scored per game, Dragan Milosavljević has been the third-leading scorer, rebounder and passer for Igokea m:tel, averaging 10.9 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game. Who will lead his team to the win this time?
Head-to-head score in the regional league: In total 9:4; in Ljubljana 5:1.
