Not the most beautiful handicap, but a game at home and definitely against a weak team. The Dallas team has had some losses recently, but those losses were against strong opponents. They usually play good basketball at home and have had a winning streak of 6 games, where they dominated their opponents. The Connecticut team has been struggling lately, and today they will not have the help of Edwards, and may also be joined by one of their team leaders and a tower in the free throw lane, Griner.

Ajax is not doing well in the league right now, which is why they are playing in the third European tournament, but this match should be very easy for them and they should be able to take everything home and fix everything. The start of the season is good, and we will prepare for the Peru team. In the previous stage of the UEFA Europa Conference League, they easily beat Serbian team Vojvodina 8-2 overall, with two 4-1 wins. Now they are facing Shelbourne, an average team from the Irish league who are not in great form. They managed to beat Estu Kalju but lost 1-0 away with only 10 players. The difference between the teams is quite obvious, so if Ajax can't score at least 3 goals, they should be disappointed.

Montreal

Like in the qualifiers, we continue to advance in the main stage together with Vukic, who looks great at this season stage. Vukic started July by winning a challenger tournament in Canada, and then had strong performances at the Washington tournament, and now having qualified is ready to continue his journey in Peru. The Australian has been in better form throughout the entire season, regained his self-confidence, which is a very important aspect for this tennis player. The opponent is familiar and was already defeated by Japan last year on a hard court. German Altmaier, who hasn't won a single match on a hard court this season (0:6), somehow seems like a decent opponent compared to Vukic's current form. After a poor start on clay, the German has recovered a bit, but is in poor form and it will be very difficult for him to play successfully. In tennis, a lot of things can happen and it's always difficult to expect stability, but this match seems very favorable for Vukic, who must win.

Montreal ATP tournament.

The strange and unstable Serbian player Kecmanovic, after a tough season on grass, is once again struggling on clay and arrives in Canada not only out of form, but also lacking practice on hard courts. The Serbian, who prefers slower surfaces, has difficulties with faster courts, which is exactly what Montreal offers. He has not had much success in this tournament, having been eliminated in the first stages by Borges in 2024 and losing to Van De Zandschulp in the first match in 2022, so there is not much hope for a good performance from him in this tournament. His opponent, Zheng, may not have a high ranking (only 118), but his skill cannot be overlooked. He has successfully qualified for all Grand Slam tournaments this season and has had a strong showing on hard courts, making him the clear favorite in this match. Even though Kecmanovic has a negative record this season (18-20 overall and 8-10 on hard courts), he seems like a favorable opponent for the American player, who is having a great season (20-11 overall and 12-6 on hard courts). Zheng has already breezed through the Montreal qualifying rounds, defeating the legendary Japanese player K. Nishikori. Many sports portals are emphasizing the importance of experience in this match, but Kecmanovic's struggles on this type of surface and his poor form make Zheng the clear better option in all aspects for this tournament.

Some additional information is that Zheng has also played on the ATP tour, facing off against NCAA players (meaning collegiate tennis), which is why his ranking may be low.

CL 3 round of qualification, Bulgarian champions receive Kazakhstani team Kairat Almaty. I am taking Levski to win because they started this season very well, beating Bosnian team Borac Banja Luka 5-1 overall (4-0 at home) and then defeating Romanian champions Univ Cariova 1-0 at home (3-2 overall series win). They have also won both of their home games in the local league, adding to their good form. I believe the home advantage will have a big impact, as Kairat, even though they unexpectedly made it to the CL qualification last year, have lost all three of their away games, including defeats against Finnish team KuPs and Slovakian team Slovan Bratislava. This year, in the qualification round, they already lost to Cypriot team Omonia away after coming back from a deficit at home. I think Levski is a better quality team and will also benefit from the home advantage, especially considering that in official matches in 2026, they have won 12 out of 13 games in front of their fans.

The worst team in the league meets, as well as the worst attacking team, Siauliai, against Banga, who are still close to 1st place in the league, even though they sit at only 6th place with -4 points. I'll take the Under here because Banga is the best defensive team in the league, having only conceded 15 goals in 20 games and only 6 in 11 away games. I believe Banga will completely shut down Siauliai's attack, but they shouldn't score many goals themselves as there aren't many teams who can score more than 22 goals this season and they've only scored 8 in away games. Siauliai haven't been scoring much at home either, only 6 goals in 9 games and they're currently on a 3 game scoreless streak. Of course, Siauliai concedes a lot, but the low number of goals scored by Banga this season makes me think that the result will be around 1-0 or 2-0. The first 2 meetings between these teams were both Under, with two 1-1 and 0-0 draws. Banga has only had 6 games with over 2.5 goals in 20 (excluding 2 matches with Riteriai, who were kicked out of the league).

Norgu 1st Division, we have two mega Overini teams and they have 4 forwards who should score at least. Both teams have played 15 games, Ranheim generated 73 goals and Haugesund generated 72 goals, which is an average of 4.8 goals per game for both teams. Both teams score and concede a lot of goals at home, with Ranheim having a goal difference of 25:14 in 8 games played, and Haugesund having a goal difference of 25:19 in the same 8 games. This could potentially be a goals fest, where both teams can score even up to 3 goals.

A fairly attractive coefficient for HJK, even after the away match in Northern Ireland. The reigning league club HJK is in good form after a very easy round in Europe and is playing on the local front again. The opponent is very favorable, as they are weak, currently last place in the league and have a poor record of 3 losses. Although playing at home, this season HJK has already proven their superiority against SJK in both the first round and friendly matches. Good form and being clearly stronger than the opponent allows for the expectation of HJK's victory.

The top leaders of the league, Sirius, must face the worst team in the league on their away game. After the World Championship, Halmstad team played 4 games and lost 3 of them while allowing one goal in each. Sirius has won 3 consecutive games and has been consistently scoring, currently having a very good offensive streak. Their record of 12 wins out of 14 league matches shows the confidence and stability of the Sirius team, making it necessary to defeat the weakest team in the league.

The absolute leader of the league is Sirius, who continues to play successfully and productively after Peru. Having played four matches in the league, the team has scored three or more goals in three of them, so it is worth expecting goals from the leaders against the underdogs. Scoring 40 goals in the league, the Sirius club does it excellently both at home (21) and away (19), so it is worth expecting goals from this team, considering their form and dominance, especially against the most favorable opponent in the league. I believe that at least three goals will be scored against Halmstad by Sirius.
Sirius is not playing in the European tournament qualifiers this season, so they are able to focus on each league match and prepare well for them.
