Humphries looked pretty good last night on the main stage, easily defeating Clemens with just two 180s. Today, I think he'll shoot over. I hope for at least 10 legs (4-6), he has the time and scoring power, and for good reason he's the number one in the world. Also, Barney threw two 180s last night and is playing on the main stage today. Maybe there will be a bit of tension, but I'm going with the favorite, Bol.
Scutt is an up-and-coming player who could do a lot of damage in the future. I believe today his opponent will have too much trouble against Scutt's scoring power and will lose 6-4 at least. Yesterday, he defeated Lukeman, who was in decent form and a finalist in the last Major. His finishing may not have been the best, but he still had an average of ~99. The Belgian player hasn't shown any significant results and doesn't participate in Majors, nor has he achieved much in floor tournaments. Bol.
On average, Ardai scores around 65 points, but they were impacted by Tate's injury, who was the most productive with an average of 14 points and 14 efficiency points. After recovering from injury, Tunstull returned to the team, but is still clearly not in top form. He played about 12 minutes in the last game. During the last game, the team scored 66 points (without Tate), but only scored 17 points in the first half, and thanks to 13 3-pointer shots in the second half, they were able to score a total of 49 points. They also played at home. Gran Canaria performs well at home and, even though they are not very strong defensively, they will not easily let their opponents score. Chad la Seu and Euskotren were not able to defeat them.
Fiorentina, currently in 3rd place, looks great in the Serie A league, and De Gea is amazing, so even at home, league newcomers don't seem to have as much of a chance as the odds would suggest. 6 consecutive wins in the Serie A and only 1 loss for Atalanta are strong arguments for Fiorentina, who should continue to compete excellently. On the other hand, the inconsistent Como with 2 wins in the season doesn't seem threatening.
Leaders against underdogs. Liverpool performs excellently in matches and wins by a considerable goal difference, even in the Champions League, not to mention the Premier League. Southampton, on the other hand, is not on the same level and also has injuries that have an impact. It is hard to believe that Southampton can resist the Liverpool team, as all the top clubs have already managed to defeat them quite easily, and now it is Liverpool's turn.
I think the debut of the new coach at United will be crowned with success in Peru. Of course, we will see how things go for Portugal, but they will be a great opponent for the beginning of his career. I enjoyed watching United this season and under Ten Hag, but the Dutch coach was rather unsuccessful, so I believe that leaving him behind will allow United to dominate or at least perform well in the Premier League, considering the level of competition. Van Nistelroy left the team in good form, so I hope for continued success, as luck is also necessary in the game.
Stone sliding (curling) European Championship, men's final, Finland. Exciting game as Peru beats the clear favorite Norway in the tournament semi-final. Germany emerged victorious in the tournament after defeating England, Czech Republic, and losing to Italy and Scotland. I think Germany has already shown their strength, with enough surprises in store. No matter how this final ends, Scotland's skipper and their team will be chosen as the representatives for the country. In the tournament, they only lost to Italy, while defeating other opponents such as Germany, Czech Republic, and Sweden. In the semi-final, they also managed to beat the strong Swiss team. Scotland deservedly and confidently made it to the final, what a championship for them!
A couple of days ago, Sūduva won by 42 points at home and will now play Kretinga again, this time away. In NKL, there is often no consistency, but Kretinga has been performing very poorly lately, even when playing at home against mid-table teams. It is possible that someone will not play for Marijampolė because of the low line, but I believe that Sūduva will win confidently.
With the new additions, Alytus club has become a serious contender and recently defeated Ryto reserves in the first match in Alytus before the break. Although the final score was not very high, Alytus was in control throughout the game and played with confidence. Now, after the break, Vilnius may have a slightly different view, but I believe the result will remain the same - a win for Alytus.
It seems that Hoffeinheim team needed a boost because their offense was struggling. A strong offense is necessary for competing for higher positions in Bundesliga and Europe. The team's success relies on good offense, and today they face an opponent who will require extra motivation, but it will be particularly difficult on defense. The Swedish team will definitely score against us, and even possibly score more than a couple of goals. For Hoffeinheim, offense will be crucial today.
In the ranks of Landerneau, it is likely that there will be no Baker, who in the last game received a hit from the elbow to the face and was taken off the court. I didn't understand exactly what happened, but she doesn't usually carry people off the court. She was the most productive player on the team with 12.7 points. Landerneau has been looking very bad lately, not in defense, but precisely in offense. Defense is doing well, consistently allowing over 70 points, but it doesn't look tragic, whereas offense, especially with Baker, has been struggling, only scoring around 60 points, so I hope for a low-scoring game.
Salzburg needed the Peruvian national team, because the game was in need of balance. They had time to train and return to their home stadium where playing is always easier. The team's focus for the upcoming year is on offense and if the offense doesn't pick up, there will be big problems throughout the season. Moreover, a serious guest team is coming, creating opportunities to score goals. The teams play productively against each other and there seems to be a good trend to continue this.
When will Lille win their first game? Today is a great chance. Finally, injuries have healed and there are enough players in rotation. In the Euroleague, the team has already achieved their first win of the season by defeating Polkowice 100-83, now it's time to focus on the local championship. Roche played well in two games against Landerneau, but the latter has been performing so poorly lately that the score is not surprising.
Polkowice doesn’t look like a champion team this season. There is a lack of strong local players, maybe that's why they struggle to win. In the Super Cup, they lost by -20 to Lublin, and in the league they haven’t experienced a loss yet, but all of their victories were hard-fought: +5, +4, +12, +4, and +9 in overtime. Peterson had an ankle twist, but there was already a training video where she was jumping on that foot. Nevertheless, I believe she will recover in time. Poznan seems like a very turbulent team, but with the addition of January, I hope that their game will stabilize.
