After losing points here to Real, it is possible to take a few steps back in the fight for the title. I talk a lot about Real, the players, and Xabi Alonso, but after three draws in a row, the confidence in Alonso from the management still remains. It's time for that confidence to be shown by both the coach and the players. On paper, Bilbao is a solid club, but this season they have not found their game at all. Real may not have the best defense, but they have a solid attack. Bilbao struggles to score goals, so this should be a somewhat easier game defensively for Real.

After a very solid match away against West Ham, Liverpool returns to Anfield and memories of their last match against PSV where they suffered a devastating loss come flooding back. Liverpool is struggling in defense, and their team is highly dependent on their offense, which has not been producing strong results at the beginning of the season. Their opponent, who has proven to be a challenge for many top English teams, has scored numerous goals against them. Liverpool may concede a few goals in this match, but their defense remains vulnerable.

Brighton at home is a tough nut to crack for all English clubs, and their home stadium team has yet to be defeated this season. They play an entertaining style of football with a strong attacking force, and have the right players for that. This season they have only failed to score 2 or more goals at home once. Villa has caught a fantastic form and is coming to fight for victory. It's hard to imagine any team being able to win here without conceding a goal.

The series of Euskotren in Peru should come to an end. I predicted it in the last two rounds, but it never worked out. The referees had a lot of influence with their decisions in the fourth period against Ferrol. Against Joventut, there was also a lot of luck. Firstly, Joventut played without two creators (Lamana and Pierra) and at the end, with a tied score of 68-68, Joventut made two mistakes and missed two shots under the basket, while Euskotren quickly went on the attack and in the next attack missed 3-pointers but grabbed 3 offensive rebounds and finally scored points on the fourth attempt, breaking the game with a score of 75-68. Euskotren plays well, but in both games it could have easily lost, but something happened for the opponents that prevented them from success.

Ensino started the season as well as Euskotren, the only difference being that the last two games were played against strong opponents - Jairis and Girona - resulting in two consecutive losses. I think it's time for Euskotren to lose.

The average team of Mažeikiai at home accepts one of the league favorites, Vytautas. Šakiai team is very strong and has a long and good bench, so they can play well during all matches. Mažeikiai, with more flashes than coach Kiltinavičius and foreign players, would often shine, but when it comes to fighting against teams of such a level, even at home, Mažeikiai falls.

Gernika entered the marathon of matches because they earned it themselves. At the beginning of the season, they refused to play in the Eurocup with the Israel team. The matches were postponed, but Fiba forced them through penalties and they had to play them after the national team break. This resulted in them playing their 5th match in 11 days today. And although I may sometimes see the effects of fatigue, in this case Gernika played all those matches with a rotation of only 7 players (Krnjic being the 8th, but she plays in a very episodic manner) and in the last match against Chad La Seu, it was already clear at the end of the game that their shots were very poor and unprepared. The truth is, there is a possibility that some of the injured players will be able to play, but Polleros seems to be sick and it is uncertain if she trained, so there is no shortage of problems there.
Estepona had a difficult stretch as they played against Avenida, Zaragoza, and Valencia. They lost all of these matches, but with decent margins of -14, -5, and -8. So they might finally return to their Peru period at home.

Gran Canaria played a great game and immediately gained belief in this team. Now they have been reinforced by Dillard and the rotation is no longer made up of just 6 players. In the last round, they were already trailing 19-29 in the first quarter, but won the second quarter by +12 and confidently dealt with Ferrol. Meanwhile, Araski were down by as much as -20 (60-40) in the fourth quarter, but managed to win 64-70. An incredible comeback. Both teams now seem hard to predict, but with such odds, Gran Canaria seems like a very logical choice.

It's a great opportunity for Joventut to end their 4-game losing streak. They will play at home against league newcomers. In their last game, they almost defeated Euskotren on the road, who are in excellent form. Lamana and Pierra did not play in that game. The former will also be absent today due to a broken nose, but Pierra should play. Overall, the 4-game losing streak is not a tragedy, as they played twice away and only lost at home to Zaragoza. Perhaps only the loss to Araski at home was unexpected. Leganes is not a bad team, but they have not shown anything impressive. They only achieved victories in the first round against Chad La Seu and at home against Gran Canaria.

Tubelis has adapted perfectly to the Euroleague season and has been playing fantastically in the past 7 games, scoring double-digit points in 6 of them. He is a dangerous player in transition and will definitely be a threat against Maccabi, even if Zalgiris tries to avoid involving him in the game as Maccabi is a high-tempo team that does not defend well. Based on his current form, it would be very strange if Azuolas doesn't play well and doesn't need to hit at least 10 three-pointers.

Tereza Martincova, 31-year-old Czech, made a great impression on me with her match against Galfi, which I did not expect. She had great movement and was able to get into this tournament in a really good way. Vera Zvonareva, a 41-year-old veteran from Russia, has had better times in the past. She used to be the WTA number 2. However, her match against Wurth did not make a big impression on me, even though she won 2-0. First of all, Wurth did not play well on fast courts, and secondly, she had a lot of chances to hold on, but her movement was not as strong and sometimes she struggled. When she needed to, she was able to pick up her game, but I think it was due to the favorable opponent, who made quite a few unforced errors.

Friedsam Anna-Lena, a 31-year-old veteran from Germany, who mainly expects to achieve something only on indoor hard courts, because here the movement, one stroke and points are under control and she has enough strength. After playing more normally this year, she only participated in ITF level indoor hard court tournaments. At the beginning of the season, she played in four tournaments, with one win, two semi-finals, and one quarter-final, so she hasn't had the best results. Kudermetova Polina, a 22-year-old Russian, did not play for a month due to an injury before this tournament. In the first match against Rosatelo, although she secured a win, her game did not convince me. It seemed like she was finishing on her last bit of energy, and her serves looked noticeably weaker in the second set, so I think she will need to settle in a bit. Plus, the German's experience should come into play here. In my opinion, this will be the central match.

Another match from the Polish League, 2nd league Slask hosts Rakow club and I am going with Over. Although there is a difference in points, the hosts should put up a good fight or at least cause some problems in the attack as they have scored a lot of goals, 33 in 18 matches, which shows that the team has a strong offense. I don't think they will be daunted even against a stronger club, but their defense, even in the 2nd league, is tragic, conceding 2 goals per match. And since Rakow plays a very hot football lately, scoring 13 goals in the last 4 matches, including 3 where they scored 4 goals, it is possible that they alone can cover the total or score at least 3 goals.

After playing in the Serie A at home against Peru, the Milan team is playing away against Lazio. This season, Milan is only playing in Italy, which allows the team to prepare perfectly for every match and show excellent results. With only 1 loss and that being in the first Serie A round, it is hoped that Milan will continue to Draw no Bet.

Two interesting teams playing very effective football. The stronger and champion Sturm team plays tragically at home in this season, with even 10 goals conceded in 5 league matches. I think a fierce and productive match is ahead.
