Story of the Game: One of the most exciting challenges of the season awaits Mega Superbet on Monday evening, as the young Belgrade team welcome reigning AdmiralBet ABA League champions Dubai Basketball, who arrive in the Serbian capital determined to maintain their perfect record in the regional competition.
Dubai Basketball have enjoyed an outstanding start to their title-defending campaign, winning all five of their opening games and establishing themselves alongside Partizan Mozzart Bet as the only remaining undefeated teams in Group B.
Mega Superbet, meanwhile, enter this encounter with two wins and three defeats, but their position in the standings does not tell the whole story. Vule Avdalović's young squad have already demonstrated their enormous potential, and Monday's clash represents another valuable opportunity for Mega's talented youngsters to test themselves against elite opposition.
The history of this matchup provides Mega with a reason for optimism. The two teams have met twice in the regional competition, with each side claiming one victory. Interestingly, both encounters ended with the visiting team celebrating. Mega stunned Dubai with an 83:80 road victory in October 2024, before Dubai responded with a convincing 95:66 triumph in Belgrade in January 2025.
Match-up in Focus: Andrej Lučić vs. Mfiondu Kabengele.
Two of the most productive players on their respective teams will be in the spotlight on Monday evening, as Mega Superbet's rising star Andrej Lučić and Dubai Basketball's dominant big man Mfiondu Kabengele look to make their mark on the encounter.
Lučić has been enjoying an impressive debut season in the AdmiralBet ABA League, leading Mega's scoring charts with an average of 17 points per game, while also contributing 3.6 assists. The 19-year-old guard has already shown that he is not afraid of taking responsibility against experienced opponents, highlighted by his career-high 25-point performance against BC Vienna. He followed that display with 20 points and 8 assists in Mega's overtime defeat against Spartak Office Shoes, further underlining his growing importance to the team.
On the opposite side, Kabengele has once again established himself as one of the most dominant interior players in the competition. The Dubai center is averaging 16.3 points, 7.3 rebounds and an impressive index rating of 21 per game, combining physical strength with outstanding efficiency around the basket. His presence in the paint gives the reigning champions a significant advantage, and controlling his impact will be one of Mega's biggest challenges.
Head-to-head score in ABA: In total 1:1; In Belgrade 0:1.
