Czech Republic Extra league, semifinals up to four games. In the series, regular season champion Pardubice is currently leading 1-0. Sparta gave a strong performance in the tournament quarterfinals, and I believe this year's Sparta has a good score (won't be below average). The hosts showed their opponent in the first match that they are the obvious winners of this series. But today, Pardubice will have to fight again, the opponent cannot be underestimated.
Dubai is more in need of Peru than Zalgiris, as they can no longer afford to fight for the 10th place. Dubai's offensive rating is better than Zalgiris', so it will definitely not be an easy life for Zalgiris with such a talented offensive team. Out of all the remaining games, this will undoubtedly be the strongest opponent, and I believe a tense battle is awaiting until the very last minutes.
This season Bayern are true monsters in attack, scoring 97 goals in 27 games. Today they will be without their 2 main forwards, Jackson and Kane, but even without them their starting attacking quartet of Gnabry, Diaz, Karl, and Olise guarantees unbelievable speed in attack. Freiburg is having a decent season, currently in 8th place in Germany and reaching the quarter-finals in Europe, but on Thursday they face a tough match against Celta Vigo. Both teams need to score in order to win, as their defenses have also been leaking goals. I predict a high-scoring game with a 2-2 or 2-3 result.
Dubai is highly valued here, I do not underestimate their home status. Cedevita had a long time to prepare for these matches. Dubai after a double week, still having a chance to fight for the playoffs. The focus is definitely on the Euroleague and after a tough week it may be difficult to get motivated. The team has also lost Bacon, who may be inconsistent but capable of pulling off a win. Cedevita's recent form is worrying, except for their loss against Igokea, all other opponents were of a high level.
A good combination is formed here between the teams, as Brescia has a stronger offense, while Napoli plays at a faster pace. Both teams have average defenses, but Brescia's strong offense should be enough, especially when playing at home. In November, the teams played against each other and scored only 157 points, but the reason for that was a tragic period during which both teams only scored 28 points. If they can avoid such pitfalls, there should be quite a few points here.
Two teams, which are in the Top 3 according to the league standings, have an average of 2.48 for Augsburg 1st and 2.33 for Hamburg 3rd. The first match between the two had 6 cards. Both are in the middle of the table and for now, there is no threat of dropping or any specific goals to fight for Europe. However, both teams have many fouls, which is always a good sign for the cards. The referee of the match, Deniz Aytekin, who has officiated 11 matches in Germany this season, showing 6 red cards, has had some calm matches, but much depends on the teams. These teams are far from being calm.

A very fun midweek trio of games 6 7 8 could be worth a try, with Bettson and its clones, and Olybet. If anyone decides to try, please leave a comment on how much Olybet allows.
