2024/25 AdmiralBet ABA League Round 28, Monday, 21 April 2025:

CIBONA - MEGA SUPERBET

Where? Dražen Petrović Sports Hall, Zagreb

When? 21:00

Story of the game: With just three rounds to go in the regular season, Cibona are still in the fight to avoid the bottom of the standings. Sitting at 4-23, the Zagreb team needs one more win to guarantee they won’t finish last, while climbing up to 14th place ahead of Krka (5-23) remains an additional target for the Wolves

However, their task this round is anything but simple. They face Mega Superbet, one of the most in-form teams at the moment, currently riding a 3-game winning streak. With a 14-13 record, Mega Superbet are locked in a four-way Playoffs battle with Spartak Office Shoes, FMP Soccerbet, and Zadar, all vying for the last two remaining tickets to the postseason.

Mega Superbet’s recent surge in form has come at the perfect time, and with every game now carrying significant weight, they will enter this one with full focus. Meanwhile, Cibona will be aiming to respond in front of their home fans, hoping to avoid a nail-biting finish to the season.

Match-up in focus: Krešimir Radovčić vs. Mihailo Petrović.

This game will feature an intriguing point guard battle between Krešimir Radovčić and Mihailo Petrović, two leaders who play vital roles for their teams.

Radovčić, Cibona’s floor general, has been one of their most consistent contributors this season, averaging 9.7 points per game. He will be key in setting the tempo and keeping the offense flowing against an aggressive Mega side.

On the other hand, Mihailo Petrović has emerged as Mega Superbet’s clutch performer, coming up big in each of their last three wins. His confidence, composure, and scoring in crunch time have helped Mega stay in Playoffs contention.

Head-to-head score in the regional league: In total 8:15; In Zagreb 5:6.
