Can Spartak Office Shoes get Their Sweet Revenge over Cedevita Olimpija in Stožice?

2025/26 AdmiralBet ABA League Group B Round 13, Saturday, 3 January 2026:

CEDEVITA OLIMPIJA – SPARTAK OFFICE SHOES

Where? Stožice Arena, Ljubljana 

When? 17:00

Story of the game: On Saturday night, Cedevita Olimpija will be hosting Spartak Office Shoes at home in their Stožice Arena in Ljubljana.

It will be a game, where Cedevita Olimpija will seek the win, that would bring them one more step closer to clinching the Top 8 Spot. On the other hand, Spartak Office Shoes will not only seek revenge for the defeat in Subotica in the first game of these two squads this season, but will also wish to remain on the winning track and keep the fourth place in the standings, which they have been holding after 12 rounds, as Bosna BH Telecom and Zadar are just behind them at the moment.

Lately, Cedevita Olimpija have been in a better shape in the regional competition, having won 4 out of their last 5 games, which also helped them secure the first place in the standings of Group B, together with Budućnost VOLI. On the other side, Spartak Office Shoes have only won 3 of their last 5 games, but wish to improve their record in the forthcoming rounds.

The two squads have so far met in Ljubljana only once. Last season, Cedevita Olimpija prevailed in Tivoli Sports Hall after a dramatic encounter. How will this time the game of the two squads end?

Match-up in focus: Perhaps the key match-up of the game can be the one between former and current Spartak Office Shoes players Umoja Gibson and Olivier Hanlan. While Gibson has been the second-leading scorer and top passer of Cedevita Olimpija so far this season, averaging 13.8 points and 4.9 assists per game, Hanlan has been both the top scorer and passer of Spartak Office Shoes this season, with an average of 13.1 points and 3.9 assists per game. Who will lead his team to the win this time?

Head-to-head score in ABA: In total 2:1, In Ljubljana 1:0.
