Cibona vs Mornar: Analysis and Prediction – Cibona will play at home against Mornar in the ABA League sixth round.
Cibona vs Mornar Odds
Cibona Team News
Cibona performance has been fluctuating with a pattern of loss-win-loss-win since the start of the season. They’ve achieved five wins and five losses in their last ten matches. In their recent game against Split in the Croatian league, played away, they secured a win by 63:57.
The fact that Cibona played this match with only six players, and Kresimir Radovcic and Ivan Majcunic didn’t leave the court at all, while Aleksandar Aranitovic played over 37 minutes, speaks volumes about the challenges the team is facing in the Croatian national league. In the ABA league, the standout players include Jakov Mustapic and Alex Stein, alongside the aforementioned Majcunic and Aranitovic, which means the rotation is slightly broader compared to their appearances in the Croatian league.
Although it’s only the sixth round, this match could have far-reaching consequences in the battle for survival in the ABA league. If Mornar secures a win on the road, they would gain a significant advantage over Cibona in the fight for survival. Therefore, we believe the hosts will give their utmost to clinch a win in this match.
Mornar Team News
Mornar’s performance has been rather disappointing right from the start of the season, managing to secure only two wins so far. One was against a team from Azerbaijan in the FIBA Europa Cup, and the other came in the last round of the ABA league when they faced Krka in Bar.
It’s precisely this win against Krka that Mornar will look to build their confidence on and strive for another important victory in this match. The team saw a significant influx of new players in Bar at the beginning of the season, which was expected due to budget cuts leading to the departure of many young players. In recent matches, Dwight Murray has stood out, hitting the game-winning three-pointer with half a minute left against Krka.
It’s likely that Mornar is well aware that this match could bring them very close to securing their spot in the league already. Considering the budget constraints and consequent composition of their team this season, this would be an excellent result.

Although it’s early in the season, this match could set the tone for both teams. If the hosts lose, they’ll find themselves in a tough spot, so we’re confident they’ll give their all to beat Mornar. It won’t be easy, as the guests seem to be gradually improving their form. It’s hard to say for certain which team is in better shape, so we’re suggesting that there will be fewer than 166 points in the match.
