Cedevita Olimpija will start the new calendar year 2022 on Sunday at 17.00 in Novo mesto, as the Dragons will face Krka in Round 14 of the regional league.
In the first game of the second half of the Regular Season for both squads, a local derby is awaiting Krka and Cedevita Olimpija.
The squads will meet for the third time this season and while two times before – in the opening round of the AdmiralBet ABA League season and in the Slovenian Super Cup – Cedevita Olimpija have come out victorious, Krka have other plans for this time.
The squads are in a fairly different positions midway through the season, with Cedevita Olimpija occupying the fifth place in the standings with a record of 8:5 and Krka in the danger zone with a record of 3:10, with only Split having a poorer score right now.
Krka aren’t in a good streak either, as they have suffered defeats in last 7 games in the regional competition, following a good start. On the other side, Cedevita Olimpija have won 3 games in a row lately and also 3 of their last 5 games.
Speaking of traditions, this is also a point where Cedevita Olimpija seem to be looking better, as the two squads have faced each other 4 times so far in the AdmiralBet ABA League and every single time, the Dragons have won.
