Krka and Dubai Basketball Meet in Ljubljana - Two Teams With Opposite Starts to the Season

2025/26 AdmiralBet ABA League Group A Round 4, Sunday, 26 October 2025:

KRKA - DUBAI BASKETBALL

Where? Stožice Arena, Ljubljana

When? 13:00

Story of the Game: Round 4 of the 2025/26 AdmiralBet ABA League will bring an exciting Sunday afternoon matchup in Ljubljana, where Krka will host Dubai Basketball. The two sides enter the game in completely different moods after the opening three rounds.

The team from Novo Mesto is still waiting to break the losing streak, as they have suffered defeats against Partizan Mozzart Bet, U-BT Cluj-Napoca and Igokea m:tel. Despite showing moments of quality, especially in their home games, Krka are still winless, while they will now look for their first win of the season against one of the toughest opponents yet.

On the other hand, Dubai Basketball arrive in top form. The team led by Jurica Golemac is one of just four undefeated sides in the AdmiralBet ABA League, boasting a 3-0 record after wins over Split, Borac Mozzart and U-BT Cluj-Napoca. With a balanced roster full of experience and athleticism, Dubai Basketball have made it clear that they are aiming for the top this season.

Last season, Dubai Basketball comfortably won both encounters against Krka and the visitors will look to continue that trend. Still, Krka’s hunger for their first victory could make this an unpredictable afternoon in Ljubljana.

Match-up in Focus: Victor Bailey Jr. vs Dwayne Bacon.

All eyes will be on the duel between Bailey Jr. and Bacon, two of the most dynamic scorers in the competition.

Victor Bailey Jr, who has been one of the early standouts of the season, is currently leading the entire league in scoring with 22.7 points per game.

Dubai Basketball’s main offensive weapon, Dwayne Bacon, has been in excellent shape, repeatedly delivering strong scoring performances both in the league and in international competitions.

Head-to-Head in ABA: In total 0:2; At Krka home court 0:1.
