2025/26 AdmiralBet ABA League Group B Round 4, Saturday, 25 October 2025:
ZADAR – SPARTAK OFFICE SHOES
Where? Krešimir Ćosić Arena, Zadar
When? 17:30
Story of the game: On Saturday night, Zadar will be hosting Spartak Office Shoes at home in their Krešimir Ćosić Arena in Zadar.
It is a game of two squads that have started their 2025/26 season in a sensational way, as Zadar have grabbed a road win in Belgrade against Crvena zvezda Meridianbet, while Spartak Office Shoes have done the same in Podgorica against Budućnost VOLI. However, Zadar continued their season with two defeats, both in Ljubljana, against Ilirija and Cedevita Olimpija, respectively. On the other side, Spartak Office Shoes beat Vienna in Round 2, while being free in Round 3 and remain the only undefeated team in Group B, as the teams are heading into the Round 4.
For Zadar, winning in this game is a must, so that they could maintain a favourable position in the Top 8 race, while on the other side, Spartak Office Shoes will do all they can in order to remain on the winning track and keep chasing the top of the Group B standings.
The only time so far that the two sides met in Zadar was in the previous season, when Zadar prevailed. Can Spartak strike back or will history repeat itself?
Match-up in focus: Perhaps the most interesting head-to-head encounter could be the one between Vladimir Mihailović and Igor Drobnjak. While Mihailović has been leading Zadar in scoring all season long, by averaging 18.7 points per game, Drobnjak’s average has been 12.5 points per game as Spartak’s second-leading scorer. Who would you put your money on when it comes to leading his respective team to the win this time?
Head-to-head score in ABA: In total 1:1; In Zadar 1:0.
