2023/24 AdmiralBet ABA League Round 3, Saturday, 14 October 2023:
CEDEVITA OLIMPIJA – SPLIT
Where? Stožice Arena, Ljubljana
When? 15:00
Story of the game: In the opening game of the Saturday’s AdmiralBet ABA League schedule, Cedevita Olimpija will be hosting Split at home in their Stožice Arena in Ljubljana.
It’s a game of two teams that will be looking for a win to improve their impression after recent performances. While Split haven’t tasted the sweetness of a win this season yet and will try to score their first win this time following two defeats, Cedevita Olimpija have prevailed in home court against Mega MIS in Round 1, but afterwards suffered a blowout defeat on the road in Belgrade against Crvena zvezda Meridianbet.
This time, a win would help each of the two squads to find themselves where they desire to be in the new season – Cedevita Olimpija in the upper half of the standings, and Split away from the danger zone at the very bottom of the standings.
However, only one of the two squads can succeed. Which one will it be?
Match-up in focus: It will be an interesting head-to-head battle in the forward position this time, as Amadou Sow of Cedevita Olimpija will be facing Shamiel Stevenson of Split. While Sow is currently the second-leading scorer (12 points) and top rebounder (7 rebounds) of the Ljubljana squad, Stevenson is currently the top scorer of Split (18.5 points). Who will take his team to the win? Tune in on Saturday afternoon and find out!
Head-to-head score in the regional league: In total 6:0, In Ljubljana 3:0.
