The players of Cedevita Olimpija will play the last game before the break brought by the national team campaigns on Sunday in the Stožice Arena. At 19.00, Igokea is coming to the Stožice beauty in the Round 8 of the ABA League.
Cedevita Olimpija will play the last match before the break, which brings a new cycle of qualifying matches for EuroBasket 2022 on Sunday.
The Ljubljana players, who returned to the Slovenian capital after visiting the Canary Islands on Friday, will try to continue the successful series of victories on the home court. Last Sunday, the team of head coach Jurica Golemec defeated Borac from Čačak with 97:88.
Due to epidemiological guidelines, the match will once again take place in front of the empty stands of Arena Stožice, and the television broadcast will be available on Arena Sport 1.
The hot Igokea is coming to Ljubljana on Sunday, which is undefeated in the last four matches of the regional league, but it is true that the team from Laktaši last stepped on the floor in the ABA League on 31 October. At that time, Igokea defeated Belgrade’s Partizan NIS 90:84 on the home floor. This season, the current national champions of Bosnia and Herzegovina are also playing in the Basketball Champions League, and after two matches they have won and lost.
STATEMENTS AHEAD OF THE GAME:
Jurica Golemac, head coach of Cedevita Olimpija:
“Igokea is a strong team that is very well put together, with a lot of experienced, tall and strong players who play physical basketball. We have been traveling a lot for the last two weeks, so we have to play our best on Sunday. We have enough time to prepare for the match. We have to step on the floor of the Stožice hall like real locals, dictate the rhythm, play strongly and with great intensity.”
Rok Radović, player of Cedevita Olimpija:
“Igokea is a great team. Our Sunday rivals have been without a match for quite some time now, so they have time to prepare for us. Behind us are two long journeys and two demanding away games. We all know that Igokea is a serious team, this season the team from Laktaši has already beaten Partizan NIS, so we have a difficult match ahead of us.”
