AdmiralBet ABA League Round 2, Friday, 7 October 2022:
SPLIT – CEDEVITA OLIMPIJA
Where? Split Sports Hall, Split
When? 17:00
Story of the game: In the opening game of the AdmiralBet ABA League Round 2, Split will be hosting Cedevita Olimpija at home in Gripe.
It will be a clash of two teams that have started their AdmiralBet ABA League season totally differently, with Cedevita Olimpija coming up with a convincing win over Borac Mozzart at home in Stožice Arena and Split being defeated against Budućnost VOLI on the road in Morača Sports Hall in Podgorica.
This time, Cedevita Olimpija are traveling to Dalatia to try to get away with their second win of the season.
Speaking of tradition, Split have never ever beaten Cedevita Olimpija so far in regional league history and will try their best in order to do it now for the first time. Can they succeed?
Match-up in focus: Two American sharp-shooters have been in the limelight for their respective squads in the AdmiralBet ABA League 1, as Shannon Shorter scored 19 points for Split, while Yogi Ferrell had 17 for Cedevita Olimpija. It might as well happen that the one that wins this head to head clash, can take their respective squad to the win. But which one of the two will it be? Watch the game on Friday night and find out!
Head-to-head score in the regional league: In total 0:4; In Split 0:2.
