Cedevita Olimpija Team News
Cedevita Olimpija plays their season changeably. In the ABA League, they are in third place with a 13-5 record, which is more than a fair result. However, they play weaker in the Eurocup and will almost certainly end this competition in the group stage.
The Ljubljana camp cited many injuries for the poor results in Europe. Zoran Dragić and Karlo Matković missed a lot of matches, as did some other players. Jurica Golemac received the support of the management to continue his work and is expected to finish the season in the best possible way. After winning the Cup of Slovenia, the goal is to win the more important trophy in the domestic championship, while placing in the ABA League’s semi-finals is the minimum required.
There is no doubt that Cedevita Olimpija is the favorite in this test. However, they knew in the past that they had problems with Igokea, and coach Golemac is also aware of that. If they do not reduce the number of turnovers to a minimum, they can quickly spend more energy than expected to reach the triumph.
Igokea Team News
Igokea is playing one of the worst seasons since they entered the ABA league. They have nine consecutive defeats and were also eliminated from the FIBA Champions League. A couple of weeks ago, the Bosnia and Herzegovina Cup was won. However, they played dangerously there, too, as Borac from Banja Luka had a shot at winning in the semi-finals.
With poor results, Igokea started in early December. Mario Nakić ended the season due to an injury during that period, and soon Deshawn Stephens also left. The club management thought the absence of those players would not have such an effect, but they were wrong. The short rotation led to several unexpected defeats, and former coach Dragan Bajić decided to resign. The shock therapy with the arrival of Vladimir Jovanović did not even happen, and Igokea is facing a fierce fight for survival until the very end.
The good thing for Igokea is that they have had a few weeks to train and fit in. They recently signed Dragan Milosavljevic and Nenad Nerandžić, and they should be a factor in the rest of the season. This team has quality, but confidence is long gone.

Cedevita Olimpija vs Igokea Prediction
Winning the Bosnia and Herzegovina Cup could improve Igokea’s confidence. They are designed to fight for a place inside the top 5, not for survival. They are certainly highly motivated to play a quality match, and few expect that they can surprise Cedevita Olimpija. We forecast they will not return from Ljubljana with a defeat of 15 or more points.
