When? 19:00

Story of the game: On Sunday night, Cedevita Olmpija will be hosting Igokea m:tel at home in their Tivoli Sports Hall in Ljubljana.

It’s a game that cannot change much in the standings for Cedevita Olimpija, as it has already become clear a round before, that the Dragons will finish the Top 8 stage on the sixth place, and will be facing the third-placed team in the Quarterfinals. Of course, the squad led from the bench by head coach Zvezdan Mitrović, has many reasons to fight the best way they can in order to win the game, so that they would be able to get their revenge for a defeat in Laktaši and to end their six games long winless streak in the regional competition ahead of the Playoffs.

On the other side, Igokea m:tel are still fighting for the seventh place in the standings. They are currently tied by the number of wins at the bottom of the standings with Bosna BH Telecom and in case they win in Ljubljana and Bosna BH Telecom is defeated in Sarajevo by Dubai Basketball, they take the seventh place. In other scenarios they finish sixth.

Igokea m:tel also need a win to boost their confidence ahead of the Play-in battles and possible Playoffs. They have previously won 2 of their last 5 games played and won their last game and will try to make it two in a row.

Match-up in focus: Umoja Gibson vs. Nathaniel Pierre-Louis! The head to head clash of the two point guards might well decided the outcome of the game in Ljubljana. While Gibson has been the top scorer and passer of Cedevita Olimpija, averaging 15.6 points and 4.9 assists per game, Pierre-Louis is averaging currently 15 points and 3.4 assists per game as Igokea m:tel’s second-leading scorer and third-leading passer. Who will take his team to the win this time?

Head-to-head score in ABA: In total 9:6, In Ljubljana 5:2.
