Hapeol once again started winning games and scoring a lot of points on the offense. Currently, the Israeli club has maintained this streak in 7 out of the last 8 matches, and the incoming Olympiacos is a great choice to continue this trend. Olympiacos appears to be very productive this season, and when playing on the training ground in Bulgaria, I believe we can expect a lot of points.

After being eliminated from the European tournament, another Turkish club lost points in the local league, but now they have to play with confidence in Turkey again. Although Samsunspor team has a history of injuries, they are, in my opinion, the favorites for this match. The weaker average teams in the league are not in good form and struggle to win against stronger opponents. Samsunspor is a good team that performed impressively in Europe, which affected their performance in the league, but now they are focusing solely on Turkey and their game should improve, as well as their results, especially against a strong team like Rizespor.

26 points at home show that Real is capable of playing against Fenerbahce, but when we see the Turkish club here, it's just Real's dominance. I won't lie by saying that Fenerbahce is not a strong club and as it was easy for them, it's not going well now and there are problems within. Real is a solid team with their veterans and very interesting newcomers this season, who I believe will take advantage of a club like Fenerbahce.

The Milano club is well able to adapt to the fast-paced basketball teams, but both when playing against slower teams, it is not worth expecting many points from them. Bayern has changed its face and no longer scores high numbers in offense, and has significantly slowed down its basketball game. The match is quite important for sportsmanship, and although both teams have no chance of qualifying for the playoffs, I believe there will be a strong competition, especially with the German team playing very unproductively.

Two defensive-oriented teams and the first match indicate an under. The difficult period for Aston Villa is already in the past, where the team used to concede a lot of goals, and even the English club itself does not score many goals. Bologna, representing Italy, is known for its dominant playing style in this country's teams. In their past 4 playoff matches, Bologna has not exceeded 3 overs, and Aston Villa has not been able to play with results in both games. The first of the two matches is usually more calm in recent years, so I believe there will be an under in this clash of teams.

Two interesting and well-formed teams. Like myself, I also saw periods where they were able to predict that the match will be high-scoring. Porto is in good form and should dominate at home and score goals, while Nottingham's defense is weak. The English club is capable of scoring goals, whether it's City or Tottenham - this team can score goals. Therefore, from the first match, I believe we will see attacking football with many opportunities and clear goals.

I will try Skywalkeri, it's not going very well with him this season but this kind of competition where he can reach NBA Basketball satisfies his playing style after a tough period it seems Lonnie has found his game rhythm in the last 2 games scoring 25 and 23 points against Efes and Baskus respectively who are very similar to Paris in terms of scoring and defense. Fast pace and quick shots are expected, with hopes of accurate shooting. She scored 16 points in the last meeting against Paris.

Here, Crystal Palace is for me with their big favorite label. Fiorentina is a club of a similar caliber who had a tragic first half of the season, but after the new year they completely regained their form and Peru gathers quite a lot and stands out with particularly good away performances - 6 out of the last 8 games as guests. Meanwhile, Palace is struggling and is far from the team that, after winning the Europa League, even competed for the Top 4 spot at the same time. In 2026, they only managed to win 2 games at home, against 20th place Wolves in the Premier League and the Bosnian club Zrnijski. The momentum is definitely on the side of the Italian club and I believe that with the given coefficient, taking the Draw no Bet option is the way to go, as Peru can confidently compete in this match.

Tragic knights, I believe, came at an inopportune time against Vilnius Žalgiris, who, after losing to Kaunas, have been performing very strongly. The composition of Žalgiris is unmatched and even though the team is struggling, they are playing in their home stadium against a tragic team that is unable to score and is constantly conceding goals. Žalgiris is capable of both scoring and playing successfully, so after such a tough period, I believe they must win and do so confidently.

I believe that the tragic knights showed up at an inconvenient time for Vilnius Žalgiris, who, after losing to Kaunas, must win very solidly. The composition of Žalgiris is extraordinary and although the team is not doing well, they play at their home stadium against a tragic team that is constantly losing and cannot score. Žalgiris is capable of scoring and playing successfully, and after such a stretch, I believe they must win and do it confidently.

A small rotation and a double week of trust does not raise concerns for Monaco club. Although Barcelona is not the most suitable club for Peru, it seems significantly better. James and Miro have returned, but the workload is heavy, the coach is weak and the overall situation in Monaco is difficult, which I believe the Spaniards can take advantage of, especially after their vacation.

Dubai does not play at home, but when looking at the overall image, they must confidently celebrate against Peru. Dubai has been struggling for rest and is also fighting for a spot in the playoffs, and even at home, Efes looked weak against Partizan, and when playing away, this team looks even worse, and they will have less energy due to playing in overtime. Therefore, I predict that Dubai will win with a double-digit difference against Peru.

All the underdogs of the Euroleague and although Lyon is far from being crushed in every match, the end of the season is greeted with poor form and play. Zvezda is a solid team, capable of playing exceptionally well and fighting for the playoffs, so in this game we can only expect a guaranteed win from the Serbians.

The worst league team against one of the better league teams. Marseille hasn't been doing very well lately, but this team has played against very strong opponents and has not scored at least 2 goals in their last 4 matches. However, now they have a chance to redeem themselves and secure a win. In October, Marseille beat Metz 3-0 away and now they should have a similar level of confidence. Even though Metz has been struggling against lower-ranked teams, they are able to fight back, but against teams of this caliber, they simply crumble. So, it is worth expecting the same here.

For three consecutive years, the favorite song of the audience ranked very close to Peru and took 2nd or 3rd place:
2023 - Käärijä
2024 - Baby Lasagna
2025 - Tommy Cash

This year, the most joyful and possibly the audience's favorite song could be Greece. I don't know if this year's Greek song will be as successful as the ones mentioned, but it definitely has potential. The song is truly unique. As a plus, I see that this year there are more countries supporting Greece as usual in Eurovision. Romania and Bulgaria have returned. However, the number of countries from the Balkan region has decreased. This year, Iceland, Ireland, and the Netherlands are not participating.

First long-term bet for the new full season. Chelsea's coefficient is still over 2, which means they will finish in the Top 4, and I have no doubts about that. Last season, they finished fourth and strengthened their team impressively at the end of the season. It was clear that this young team is a force to be reckoned with, winning two trophies and beating PSG gave them a lot of confidence going forward. So yes, Chelsea will play Champions League football, but in terms of the main competition for the fourth place, I see Newcastle as the main rival and I don't think they have strengthened enough to challenge for it. As for the other teams, United and Tottenham? United have made too much progress in just one season and Tottenham have a lower level than Chelsea, plus they are also in the Champions League. Aston Villa seems destined for relegation and I don't see any other contenders. Overall, I believe Chelsea is closer to joining the top three of Arsenal, Manchester City, and Liverpool, rather than fighting for the Top 4 spot, which I don't see them achieving in the upcoming Premier League season.

A little drop was observed in Fenerbahce's stock after their defeat to Olympiacos, but to me it doesn't seem like a tragedy, rather an opportunity. Such losses are very likely and should only strengthen Fenerbahce as the season comes to an end. The team is trained by possibly the best coach in Europe, so I can't imagine the final four without Fenerbahce. Of course, the finals will take place in Greece and it won't be easy, but in the end, everything depends on my assumption that Fenerbahce has over 20% chance of winning the Euroleague.

The West is very competitive. In the past years, it was not clear who would rank in the top 4 - 11.
The Spurs will still be in the mix, and the Rockets look strong. It's too early to count out the Kings.
Curry is 37 years old, Butler is 36, and Draymond is 35, so the core players are getting older and could potentially face the same injuries.

Bucks leaving the East is a serious possibility, especially with such high odds. Giannis is having another incredible season and it doesn't seem like his form will decline. Ryan Rollins is becoming a great player. Kevin Porter Jr is not yet there, but he will be, and if we don't count his non-basketball related issues, he is a great player. AJ Green is a complete sniper who can make shots in every game. Myles Turner is struggling right now, but he will start making shots soon. The recipe for the Bucks is clear - Giannis is the main man and the shooters are placed around him, and with this team, it's possible to win championships.

The main contenders will most likely be Cleveland, 76ers, and Knicks, maybe even Orlando, but it's disappointing and unclear which of them will rise this season.

From the first two matches, it can be predicted that Wemby will compete for the MVP title this season. The Spurs have put together a strong team. Although last season was very good for Wemby, it seems that this season will be even better, possibly with 30+ PPG, 10+ RPG and 4-5 blocks per game. I think we can also expect triple-doubles with blocks, and maybe even a quadruple-double. Of course, this is only possible if he stays healthy and plays enough games. The odds currently given are astronomical, but I believe it is definitely worth the risk.
