2025/26 AdmiralBet ABA League Top 8 Round 7, Sunday, 12 April 2026:
CEDEVITA OLIMPIJA – PARTIZAN MOZZART BET
Where? Stožice Arena, Ljubljana
When? 17:00
Story of the game: On Sunday night, Cedevita Olimpija will be hosting Partizan Mozzart Bet at home in their Stožice Arena in Ljubljana.
It’s a game of two teams, that will be looking to get back on the winning track on the Sunday night in the Stožice Arena. While Cedevita Olimpija have found themselves in the middle of a 5 games long winless streak, Partizan Mozzart Bet on the other end, have lost their last game in Podgorica against Budućnost VOLI, while winning 3 of their last 5 games played in the regional competition.
The motivation in this game for Cedevita Olimpija will not be merely prestigious – to down the reigning champions, as they are still fighting for the fifth place in the standings, but to do so, they need two wins in the last couple of rounds, while hoping for two defeats for U-BT Cluj-Napoca. On the other side, Partizan Mozzart Bet have plenty to play for. They most certainly need two wins in the remaining two rounds in case they wish to finish the Top 8 on the first place.
It will not be easy for the black and white, though, taking into consideration the tradition, as they have prevailed over Cedevita Olimpija only once in seven encounters so far on the road in Ljubljana.
Let’s mention that the game will have a scent of history, as the legendary Union Olimpija’s generation, that has become the first to lift the AdmiralBet ABA League trophy, back in 2002, will be honoured at the game, as part of the celebration, linked to the 25th anniversary of the regional competition.
Match-up in focus: Umoja Gibson vs. Shake Milton! This is the match-up that will be in focus as the two teams undertake their showdown in Stožice Arena. While Gibson is currently both the top scorer and passer of Cedevita Olimpija with 15.2 points and 5 assists made per game on average, Milton is currently the second-leading scorer and third-leading passer of Partizan Mozzart Bet, with an average of 12.7 points and 3.4 assists made per game. Who will lead his team to the win in Ljubljana?
Head-to-head score in ABA: In total 7:9, In Ljubljana 6:1.
