CIBONA – IGOKEA M:TEL

When? 18:30
Story of the game: In the opening game of the AdmiralBet ABA League Round 6, Cibona will be hosting Igokea m:tel at home in their Dražen Petrović Arena in Zagreb.
It’s a game of two teams that perhaps haven’t been able to start their season just the way they desired. The two Basketball Champions League squads have only collected one win each over the span of the opening four rounds of the 2026/27 AdmiralBet ABA League Regular Season and both of them need to win in order to stay on the right track in order for their ambitions to be met at the end of the regular season.
Cibona, following the change at their head coach position have grabbed their maiden win of the 2026/27 season in the Round 5 and will be looking to make it a streak this time as they host Igokea. On the other side, Igosi have started the season with a home win over Slovan, but have since suffered three straight defeats.
Previously, the two sides have met 14 times in Zagreb in the AdmiralBet ABA League, with Cibona celebrating 5 wins and Igokea m:tel 9.
Who will prevail this time?
Match-up in focus: Rickey McGill vs. Nate Pierre-Louis! The clash of two excellent American point guards will take place in the Dražen Petrović Arena this time. McGill has been leading Cibona in scoring and passing this season, averaging 17 points and 6.8 assists per game. On the other side, Pierre-Louis has been the third-leading scorer and passer of Igokea m:tel so far, with an average of 11.5 points and 3.5 assists per game. Who will take his team to the win?
Head-to-head score in ABA: In total 10:18; in Zagreb 5:9.
