Split Team News
In the last round of the Croatian League, Split unexpectedly lost to Cedevita Junior. Then they were even more shockingly defeated at home by MZT Skopje in the ABA League. They lost all chances to play in the playoffs of the regional competition since they are visiting Crvena Zvezda in the last round.
In the two mentioned last matches, Split did not look like the team that played very well in the past period. They took many unreasonable shots, and the execution wasn’t at the required level. Shannon Shorter has been the best player on this team for two years, and this season he was joined by compatriots Tyrell Nelson and Lewis Sullivan. Coach Srđan Subotić bases his offensive game on the three players with the great Dominik Mavra conducting.
If Split loses this match, it will lose second place in the Croatian League. In this way, it would be tough for them to reach the much-desired title since they would not have the home-field advantage even in the semi-finals, and certainly not even in the final of the domestic championship.

Cibona Team News
Cibona is in an even bigger crisis than Split. In the last seven days, they suffered two heavy defeats against Zadar. First, their biggest rival defeated them in the Croatian League 93:76. An even bigger debacle was experienced in Zagreb, where the result was 63:89 in the ABA League.
The problems in the Cibona game started when Filip Bundovic was injured. This happened three weeks ago, and when it was known that Marko Bakovic left the club immediately before that, it was clear what problems coach Josip Sesar has. Throughout the season, Cibona has been inferior in interior positions, and now they need two of the three players in the rotation. Only Kresimir Ljubicic and newcomer Domagoj Vukovic remain, but the lack of height comes to the fore as soon as one gets into trouble with fouls.
Considering that Cibona could have been shut down last summer, the fact that they survived in the ABA league is enough to consider the season satisfactory. If we add to the won Kresimir Cosic Cup, the eventual title would be an epilogue beyond all realistic forecasts.

Split vs Cibona Prediction
Split is, without a doubt, a better team than Cibona. The four best players of “Yellows” are better than any individual Cibona. To all this, Split will want to react after two unexpected defeats, and it is expected that the focus and concentration will be much higher than in the duels with Cedevita Junior and MZT Skopje.
