Over (Rungtynėse bus paskirtas 11m baudinys) @235 7/10
In the ManUnited game, there were no penalty shots for 11 consecutive games. In the Fulham game, there were no penalty shots for 6 consecutive games. Statistically, this is a low probability, especially considering that both teams play physically. I believe today's game will be tense and there will be various situations in the penalty box, so a penalty shot for Ghana is a likely scenario.
Maybe it won't be easy, but the coefficient is decent for Tenerife. The Basques should be on a high after playing against Peru, but it won't be easy to prepare for the away game. It will be a tough week, and it wouldn't be wise to rest today. Tenerife is a very solid team and even in normal circumstances, they always have a chance to beat opponents like Baskonia at home. Baskonia is not a team that plays well away, they are still not at their full strength, so it's not in their favor.
Virtus had a good week in Euroleague and managed to win against Monaco even without Edwards. It is unclear if Edwards will play today, but it would not be surprising if he was rested due to the upcoming double week. Today's game will definitely not be easy, as there are still some players recovering from injuries, so the main mission for today should be to secure a working win. Trento looks very good this season, and most importantly, they are consistent, even if they lose, it is usually in close games.
The Trieste team is playing at a decent pace, although they may lack a stronger offensive rating. However, today's game is at home and against a favorable opponent. Treviso plays at a similar pace to Trieste, but can boast the worst defensive rating in the league, which is ultimately what prompted them to try the over option.
Fernandez Leylah is remarkable as a 23-year-old from Canada, who is very technical but has not yet competed in any tournaments this year. I think it's time, because last year she made it to the quarterfinals in Abu Dhabi. Plus, the surface is slower than in Australia, which suits those with lower and under strength.
Tomljanovic Ajla, a 32-year-old from Australia, finished her tournaments in her home country. She also did not achieve anything special there, and at most reached the second round. In one tournament, she even withdrew before finishing the match, possibly due to health problems, as she had four unfinished tournaments due to health issues in 2025.

Ruzic Antonia - 23-year-old Croatian, making some progress. Currently at a career-high ranking of 65 on the WTA tour, she has a lot of power and a strong serve. She handles opponents with a similar profile in two sets. Even more so, in the first round, I don't know what Romanian Yuan Yue is up to. It seems like an easy tournament for the Chinese player.
Yuan Yue - 27-year-old representing China, very technical, but lacks power and struggles to hold her ground against stronger opponents. In 2024, she reached a career-high ranking of WTA 36, but injuries have prevented her from continuing to progress. Currently, she has dropped to WTA 130.

It seems like she is just passing through this tournament.

The league rookies started the new year unsuccessfully with 3 losses and 1 draw. Fenerbache is a super team compared to other Turkish teams. The league rookies do not play productively and although their defense is not bad, players of Fenerbache must perform with skill and win. There is a good coefficient for a significantly superior team, and when Fenerbache falls behind Galatasaray and has already lost points in the last league matches, the light shines particularly brightly for Peru.
All-time underdogs AVS, with 14 losses and not a single win in 19 league matches, do not offer any hope against Braga. One of the weaker Portuguese teams made it into the top 8 of the Europa League teams, and Portugal itself is only just behind other leaders. A total of 47 goals let in by AVS suggests that Braga should easily score and secure a confident win.
In this season, England's Sunderland looks simply fantastic at home. They have not suffered a single loss and have played particularly well against top teams such as City, Arsenal, Newcastle, and Aston Villa. The second-worst away team, Burnley, has conceded almost 3 goals per game and has lost 8 out of the 11 matches played. Sunderland's African players have returned, and even though Xhaka shouldn't be playing yet, their team looks like a clear choice in the match against the league newcomers, Sunderland.
A battle between teams of similar strength. I wouldn't have interfered here if not for the matches between them. In this season, the teams have already met 4 times and Zaragoza has won all of the matches.
In the start of the season, in the Super Cup finals, Zaragoza won by +11, in Euroleague Zaragoza won by +7 on the road and +10 at home. In the Spanish championship, Zaragoza won by +20 on the road.
Valencia was almost never at full strength and this won't change today, there are still injuries and problems. Araujo, Casas, and Abdelkader won't play. Alexander will play, but he has a twisted ankle, which is why he didn't train yesterday. Anderson is also recovering from an injury.
Overall, the team never has a chance to play at 100% because something always comes up - players leave, get injured, or new additions don't fit in.
They don't look very good, showing a lack of team play, which is not encouraging for the Nepali spirits, and it's also quite evident in the Peruvian team, as there seems to be a lack of strong team play in the spirits. Donk also often plays poorly against these spirits. Blad3 should have come up with a plan to involve the spirits more in the long game.
After yesterday's defeat, there should be a focus on work today. Some bad moods will be present in the team after the lost match, where they definitely could have won. There will be maximum pressure on the players, but they should return to the game. Often, after success, players become complacent, especially young players. So today, maximum concentration and cleanup are necessary for a 2-0 win. Astralis is currently experiencing some issues as a team, with Jabbi being out of form for a while. Ryu is trying to prove that they can beat t1, so there will be some fierce competition. Overall, I believe a calm 2-0 victory is possible.
Falcons begin their performance, being one of the favorites in the tournament, with Kyousuke in top form, endlessly grinding as a team and with high expectations. It's time to hit the tournament, although their current form may only be comparable to their spirits. They should easily beat Aurora 2-0. And with a new player on the Aurora team, Falcons have a clear advantage in terms of team play.
Absolutely regrettable, the Young Boys defense has been demonstrating this season, but particularly in recent times, with 16 goals conceded in the past 3 matches, including a 2-6 loss at home in this series. Where it was possible to say that the YB team still defended at home, now they are no longer able to do so, and overall this season, only the bottom-placed Winterthur team has conceded more over goals. YB GB have scored 40 goals and conceded 45 in 21 games this season, showing their attacking abilities (2 goals against Stuttgart are a good example), but they are in 6th place due to their inability to defend. Their opponents, similar to this team, also score about 3.5 goals per match and do not defend very well, but they are solid enough to score a couple of goals here.
The Luzern team loves to play in productive matches, especially in their home arena. In this season, they are one of the most productive teams in the Swiss league, scoring 79 goals in 21 matches. However, they also tend to concede quite a few goals, with an average of 4.2 per match at home. The St Gallen team is one of the top teams in the league, taking 3rd place and scoring the 2nd most goals. Their away matches are similar to their home ones, so it's unlikely that there will be a lack of goals in this match. Overall, the away matches for the St Gallen team are not as productive as Luzern's, but they still have an average of 3.3 goals per match and close to 4 goals in away matches. Based on this, I believe that the away team could cover the total goals themselves, but it's not realistic to expect an over from both teams.
Quite a high coefficient at 2.5 seems more likely. Heracles' bottom position in the league is due to their strong attack, which has overall scored almost one and a half goals per match (28 out of 20), with 18 out of 9 of those being scored at home. However, their bottom position is not without reason, as their defense is pitiful. With 52 conceded goals in 20 rounds, they are among the highest in the league and it is always expected that they will be heavily attacked by their opponents. Sittard is a mediocre club, ranked 10th, with a similar goal differential of 30:34 in 20 matches. This shows that they are capable of attacking but lack a strong defense, giving the home team a good chance. I believe at least 3 goals will be scored in this match.
