The Top 8 phase of the 2024/25 NLB ABA League 2 championship begins this week, with 8 best teams from the regular season continuing their pursuit for the glory.
Group E: Bosna Visit Sarajevo, Kansai Helios, Podgorica Bemax, Zlatibor Mozzart
Group F: Cedevita Junior, Ilirija, Široki TT Kabeli, Vojvodina mts
Recall that the Top 8 stage will be played in the home-and-away format in which each team will face every rival from its group twice. After 6 rounds, the two best teams from each group will qualify for the semi-finals.
The first two games of the Top 8 stage will be played this week.
Everything will start on Tuesday evening in Novi Sad where last season’s vice champions Vojvodina mts will host Široki TT Kabeli.
Vojvodina mts were quite dominant in the regular season as they clinched the top place in Group B with the overall score of 5-1. Meanwhile, Široki TT Kabeli had a fantastic second part of the regular season as they scored 3 consecutive wins that helped them take the 2nd spot in Group C and therefore claim the ticket for the Top 8 stage.
The second game of Group F will also be played this Tuesday evening when Ilirija will host Cedevita Junior.
Both sides made impressive results during the regular season stage. Ilirija finished in front of Zlatibor Mozzart, Borac WWIN and Šibenka to seize the 1st place in Group D, while Cedevita Junior managed to finish this stage in front of MZT Skopje Aerodrom and to therefore claim the 2nd place in Group A.
The games of Group E are scheduled for next week.
