Both Sides Eye Bounce-Back Win as Igokea m:tel Face Cedevita Olimpija

2025/26 AdmiralBet ABA League Top 8 Round 4, Sunday, 22 March 2026:

IGOKEA M:TEL - CEDEVITA OLIMPIJA

Where? Laktaši Sports Hall, Laktaši

When? 17:00

Story of the Game: In Round 4 of the AdmiralBet ABA League Top 8 stage, Igokea m:tel will host Cedevita Olimpija on Sunday in Laktaši.

Both sides enter Sunday’s clash with the same goal - to stop the slide and return to winning ways in the AdmiralBet ABA League.

Igokea m:tel will be under pressure in front of their home crowd as they are still searching for their first Top 8 win. The Laktaši side have suffered three consecutive defeats, falling to Crvena zvezda Meridianbet, Budućnost VOLI and most recently Bosna BH Telecom. Those results have placed them at the bottom of the standings, making this game a crucial opportunity to get back on track and stay competitive in the race for the Playoffs.

On the other side, Cedevita Olimpija arrive in Laktaši also looking to reset. The Ljubljana squad opened the Top 8 stage with an impressive win over Dubai Basketball, but since then momentum has slipped away. They let a promising first-half performance against Partizan Mozzart Bet turn into a defeat, before suffering elimination in the BKT EuroCup following a road loss to JL Bourg. Now fully focused on the regional competition, the Dragons are determined to reestablish their rhythm and prove they belong among the top title contenders.

Match-up in focus: All eyes will be on the battle in the paint between two in-form forwards.

Strahinja Gavilović (Igokea m:tel) is one of the most consistent performers this season, having dropped below double digits in scoring in just two games so far. On the other side will be Matthew Hurt (Cedevita Olimpija) who is currently in strong offensive rhythm, scoring in double figures in each of his last three appearances.

Head-to-Head Score in ABA: In total 5:9; In Laktaši 3:4.
