Round 12 Opens in Dubai – Krka Arrives to Coca-Cola Arena

2025/26 AdmiralBet ABA League Group A Round 12, Friday, 26 December 2025:

DUBAI BASKETBALL – KRKA

Where? Coca-Cola Arena, Dubai

When? 15:00

Story of the game: In the opening game of the AdmiralBet ABA League Round 12, Dubai Basketball will be hosting Krka at home in their Coca-Cola Arena.

It’s a game, where the still undefeated Dubai side will be chasing their 10th win of the season and try to make another step towards securing themselves a Top 8 spot. On the other side, Krka, that have scored two wins in a row in the Rounds 8 and 9, will try to arrange a sensation and get back on the winning track following the recent defeats by U-BT Cluj-Napoca and Partizan Mozzart Bet. The Novo mesto side are currently sharing the bottom of the standings with SC Derby with 2:8 record each.

Each time the two sides met before, it has been Dubai Basketball, that emerged victorious in the end. They faced each other 3 times so far, once in Dubai.

Can Krka become the team to spoil the Dubai Basketball undefeated streak or will the triumphant rampage of the leading team of Group A go on?

Match-up in focus: Perhaps the key match-up of the game can be the one between Boogie Ellis and Victor Bailey Jr. While Ellis ha been the third leading scorer and passer of Dubai Basketball so far this season, averaging 11.3 points and 2.8 assists per game, Bailey Jr. has been leading Krka in scoring, averaging 17.1 points per game. Who will lead his team to the win this time?

Head-to-head score in ABA: In total 3:0, In Dubai 1:0.
