2025/26 AdmiralBet ABA League Group A Round 11, Monday, 22 December 2025:
U-BT CLUJ-NAPOCA - SPLIT
Where? BT Arena, Cluj-Napoca
When? 18:00
Story of the Game: U-BT Cluj-Napoca will look to keep their momentum rolling when they host Split in Round 11 of the AdmiralBet ABA League. The league newcomers can truly say they are in exceptional form, having won five of their last six AdmiralBet ABA League games. On top of that, Cluj sent a strong message on the European stage last week with an eye-catching EuroCup performance, scoring 68 points already by halftime. Riding high on confidence, the hosts now aim to stay in the same rhythm and take another important step toward the Top 8.
Split, however, arrive encouraged by a big result of their own. The Yellow troops secured a huge overtime win against Igokea m:tel last weekend, marking their second victory in the last four games. That comeback success has clearly boosted team morale ahead of a demanding road challenge, and the big question now is whether that surge in confidence will be enough to pull off another valuable win away from home.
Match-up in focus: All eyes will be on Karel Guzmán, who was outstanding in Cluj’s last AdmiralBet ABA League appearance, posting an impressive index rating of 27 and setting the tone at both ends of the floor. On the other side stands Zoran Dragić, the hero of Split’s previous round, as he poured in 10 points in overtime to push his team over the line.
Head-to-Head Score in ABA: In total 0:1; In Cluj-Napoca 0:0.
