Zadar Team News
With defeats against FMP, Igokea, and MZT Skopje, Zadar reduced its chances of playing in the quarterfinals of the ABA League. They must win at least one game in the last two rounds, which will be challenging if you look at their schedule.
However, what has been done so far in the regional competition is much more than expected at the club the previous summer. The financial situation has probably never been more difficult, but coach Danijel Jusup has done a phenomenal job with this group of players. Luka Božić is one of the leading candidates for MVP of the regular season in the ABA League. Some individuals like Dario Dreznjak and Marko Ramljak used this season to further profile themselves.
Zadar must keep this game if it wants to meet the playoffs of the Croatian League in the first place, which brings home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. Cibona already has one more win, so the home team has an important test ahead of them.

Cibona Team News
Cibona will decide on its chances for the quarterfinals of the ABA League this coming weekend. Then they will play again against Zadar, but in Zagreb. In that competition, “Wolves from Tuskanc” are chasing their biggest rival on the table while they are doing better in the Croatian League.
Just as is the case with Zadar, the results of Cibona in the ABA league are far beyond all predictions and expectations. Even the club’s fate was in question the previous summer. They almost didn’t prepare, but despite all that, they managed to survive and shock Red Star a couple of weeks ago. With such a good playing, they “took away” the first position in the ABA league from the Red Star. Borna Kapusta is the leader of this group of players, and it will not be a surprise if we see him in a bigger club next fall.
Cibona’s last defeat in the Croatian League was against Zadar a month ago. After that, they won five consecutive games, although they had a lot of trouble with Cedevita Junior and the much weaker Furnir.
End of game. Focus on Tuesday. 💙

Zadar vs Cibona Prediction
In the current situation, Zadar has a better team than Cibona. The injury of Bundovic and the departure of Marko Bakovic affected the guests. In such an important match in the domestic championship, it is hard to expect that the home team will not play at the maximum level. If that’s the case, the win shouldn’t be in doubt.
