Rosenborg doesn't look bad this season, but they need to improve their attacking game because it won't be enough against stronger opponents, and today's opponent seems particularly favorable to score goals against. The Oslo team is struggling this season, their defense is not working, and it's difficult to earn points. Rosenborg creates many chances and has a good expected goals (xG) score, so they need to take advantage of that in their attack.
Rosenborg doesn't look bad this season, but the gameplay in our offense needs to be improved because it won't be enough against stronger opponents, and today's opponent seems especially favorable to score goals against. The Oslo team can't seem to find their game this season, their defense isn't working, and it's difficult to earn points. Rosenborg creates a lot of chances and has a good xG, so they need to score in offense.
Productive teams, both scoring and conceding goals. Sandefjord improves their game every season and competes for higher goals, so even against such opponents, a battle can be expected even on the road. Bryne is a team promoted from the second league and, as is often the case with promotions, feels the level difference and the team currently feels it in defense.
If everything goes well with the psyche, I believe Bublik can easily give a fight to Draper. Draper is one of the top tennis players at the moment, but Bublik is one of those players who can take a set or even two if he catches a wave, because he is a high-caliber talent. However, as I mentioned, he has some psychological issues that prevent him from reaching high rankings. In this tournament, everything seems to be going well with Bublik, with two 3-0 wins against Peru and a comeback from a 0-2 deficit against De Minaur. I believe we will see four sets here.
Fener played well in the second game and now they are backed against the wall, but when they return home I think they will draw conclusions and comfortably defeat Peru. The first game made me believe that after the Euroleague Hangover, they did not have the energy to win by 21 points, and in the second game, they simply let it slip away, losing 9 points in the fourth quarter. I think it was just a coincidence. Biberovic seems to be out, but I believe the other core players will step up and bring Fener a victory, just like in the first game. Overall, Fener won by +12, +9, and +21 against Telekom in the three games.
The series was very poor for Jackson individually against the Braunschweig team, but this was also influenced by the good defense of his opponents and their less offensive-minded style of basketball. However, the game against Ulm should be much more favorable for Jackson, as Ulm is a fast-paced team, against whom Jackson scored 20 and 17 points in the previous season.
Morning, a stronger team can certainly be difficult on the road, but I think the basketball team may lack strength in offense. I don't think Rubstavicius will score 20 points, as in the first game he made 8 out of 8 free throws and 4 out of 8 3-point shots, which is unlikely to happen again.
Tampes Kabelis in the lead, but I still hold onto the same thought that it will be 3-0 and I go with Rytas, believing that they will play at a similar level as Zalgiris did in the second half. I already mentioned before the first game that Rytas looks dominant against Kabelis with a 4-1 record in head-to-head matchups. Now, after Friday's game, that record may already be 4-1. The only loss was during Rytas' worst stretch of the season. Of course, it won't be an easy away game, but I believe that Rytas will prove their superiority in Vilnius. I also hope for a better performance from the foreigners, as apart from Cole, they were completely empty in the first game. I think Rytas will win by +8-10 points.
I was expecting that they would under-estimate us, but this time I am trying to over-estimate. In the first round, we finished with 148 points, but the referees allowed a lot of contact until the whistle, and the teams only threw 18 free throws. Usually, the whistles of the Greek referees are heard very often and a large part of the points are scored through free throws. PAO is definitely not a defensive team and Olympiakos should take advantage of that, especially when attacking Nunna.
Even in the previous match, having lost only 37 points in the first half, teams managed to overscore such a total with ease. With 175 points in the main time, teams are playing at a good pace. Le Mans is a team that is very offensive-oriented, so in Monaco, with many offensive options, it can easily adapt to the game played by opponents. I am taking this into account because the total points will most likely increase again this period.
Mazokas Totalas also looks strong even in the elimination rounds, Bayern plays solidly, has good players on the team and certainly is not the weakest or worst team in terms of offense. On the other hand, Heidelberg, with their new coach, looks very solid this year, their last few games have been successful in offense, the team appears to be combative and capable of putting up a fight against Bayern.
After winning 0-3 on the road, Vizela will stay in the top Portuguese league and now it is realistic to not ruin things. Of course, it can't be otherwise because Vizela looks much stronger and should also win at home as shown by the results on the road. Good odds and maybe there is no need to take a big risk, but the option seems not bad.
After a 2-2 draw, everything is in the hands of the Willem club in their away game. The Eredivisie league team took care of Dordrecht at home and now I believe they will defeat another lower league club to secure their spot. Even away, Willem looked better and at home they should dominate and continue to score, especially considering that in such situations, 0-0 draws are often played out, which is a fairly safe option.
