Will Cibona end their 5-game losing streak in the clashes against Budućnost VOLI?

AdmiralBet ABA League Round 11, Sunday, 12 December 2021:

CIBONA - BUDUĆNOST VOLI

Where? Dražen Petrović Sports Hall, Zagreb

When? 19:00

Story of the game: Cibona haven’t really been successful in the games against Budućnost VOLI in the past couple of years as the Wolves lost the previous 5 games against this opponent in the regional league. Will that change this weekend?

Well, we will find out the answer on that question this Sunday evening as Cibona are about to host Budućnost VOLI in Round 11 of the 2021/22 AdmiralBet ABA League regular season.

Cibona are having a decent season so far as they have scored 5 wins out of the previous 10 rounds. They have lost the last two games in the season, which means that they will now have extra motive to get back on the winning track.

At the same time, Budućnost VOLI have the score of 7-3 and they can be satisfied with their current season record considering how much problems they are having with injuries in the ongoing regional league campaign. The Podgorica side played their last game with just 8 players, while we are about to see whether any of the sidelined players has recovered over the past week. The good news for the blue-and-white team is that they will be able to count on their latest newcomer Donatas Tarolis as he’s been registered for the 2021/22 season.

Match-up in focus: Cibona’s young point guard Lovro Gnjidić has had some excellent displays in the past few weeks as he scored 10+ points in the 3 out of the last 4 games. This weekend, Gnjidić will have a direct duel against one of the best point guards in the league – Budućnost VOLI star player Justin Cobbs who had an overall index rating of 32 in his last match in AdmiralBet ABA League. Cobbs scored 22 points and made 7 assists and 5 rebounds last weekend in the clash vs. SC Derby.

Head-to-head score in the regional league: In total 14:22; In Zagreb 9:9.
