Already on Tuesday, the Ljubljana team will face a test in the fourth round of the Nova KBM League for the champions in their home arena of Stožice, and the Dragons will face Terme Olimie Podčetrtek, who currently have two wins and one defeat.

STATEMENT AHEAD OF THE GAME:

Jurica Golemac, head coach of Cedevita Olimpija:
“For us, Tuesday’s match after a series of defeats is very important. We also returned home after a long time. An experienced team from Podčetrtek comes to us, they play smart and patiently. The team also proved this with victories against Krka and Helios Suns. We take our opponents seriously. We have to do everything to record a victory and get back on the winning track, but we are aware that we do not have an easy job ahead of us.”
