At home, we still hope that Atletico will have a positive result and, in essence, I think that in this match their team is even, so I believe they should take the home advantage. Atletico is a very strong home team, they only lost to Barcelona recently in their own stadium, who, by the way, was eliminated from the Champions League in the last round. This will be the first time that Atletico has lost at home in knockout matches under Simeone, and I doubt it will happen again, especially considering Arsenal's inconsistent form lately, with only 2 wins in their last 7 matches and their shaky performance against Sporting. This, combined with the fact that their attacking line is not functioning well, makes it very unlikely for Arsenal to win, especially in a match where Simeone's experience in such situations gives his team the advantage.

Another meeting where I hope for goals. Both teams have strong attacks and weak defense. In the Europa League playoffs, the opposing team has at least 2 goals in every match. In the Ukrainian club, all 3 played matches ended with over 3 goals, while the English club had 5 out of 6 matches with at least 2 goals. Both teams tend to play attacking football, and Palace has shown in their games against a team with a similar style, like Shakhtar, there are usually many goals, so I choose the over.

Braga, like Freiburg team, is playing productively in the European League. Both teams started their knockout phase from the eighth-finals and out of a total of 8 played matches, in 7 of them, the teams had 2 or more over goals. The teams are in good form and like to both concede and score, so I am already expecting goals from the first matches.

Jeanjean Leolia is very technical on this local 30m French surface, which lacks some power in hits and serves, but the technical skills are very good. Last week at the WTA Madrid 1000 points tournament she defeated Selekhmeteva O., Masarova, and Vekic.

On the other side, there is 21-year-old Belgian Costoulas Sofia, who, although she had a decent victory over Aksu in the first round, seems to struggle in the later stages, possibly due to lacking some technical skills. I believe if the veteran puts some pressure, the score should be 2:0.

Anastasia Potapova changed her citizenship to Austrian and just played from the Austria tournament. I think Pliskova is a very good and favorable opponent for her, as under would be more suitable for more agile players. In terms of Potapova’s movements and mistakes, I would say that they have improved significantly compared to previous times, and this is a pure victory.
Pliskova is already a 34-year-old veteran, she remains on the podium with strong hits, she has a rather tall stature, and she struggles with lower balls. This year, the Czech has also improved her form, but due to the years, she struggles significantly in the final stages of tournaments, similar to Cirstea. And then the first serve doesn't work well, and without it, nothing works.

Potapova Anastasia changed her citizenship to Austrian and just started playing at the Austrian tournament. I think Pliskova is a very good and favorable opponent for her, as her opponent would prefer more agile players. With Potapova's improved movements and reduced number of errors, she could be a pure winner here.
Pliskova is already a 34-year-old veteran, she controls the court with strong shots, she is quite tall and struggles with lower balls. This year, the Czech player has also improved her form, but due to her years, she tends to struggle in the later stages of tournaments, similar to Cirstea. And then her first serve does not work well, without it she cannot do much.

In the playoffs, Zhejiang Chouzhou played well and defeated the weak-looking Rockets. Both teams lost to each other in the regular season games, but I believe that Zhejiang will make a strong comeback in the playoffs. The Rockets team does not have a favorable record against Zhejiang in the regular season matches.

I don't see any handicaps in the Hapoel team. Without a doubt, Real is the better team in their home Euroleague season, with 19 wins and only 1 loss. In my opinion, the Real roster is perfectly balanced to play against any style of opponent, whether it's fast-paced basketball or half court defense. Among them, we have the ever-present Llull with his experience, beast Tavares, European top Hezonja of the day, Feliz who has risen from the bench without causing any problems, Abalde who can suffocate the opponent's best players, the strong defender Okeke, the magic of Campazzo without even mentioning it, and Lyles, the dark horse of the season with scores of 24, 20, 29, 23, 21, 21, 20, and 22 in the games. Not to mention the brothers Maledon and Procida waiting for their chances... The coach has seen and done a lot, and he definitely doesn't lack experience.
Looking at this Real team, I just can't see Hapoel winning even 1 game, as the series will start in Spain where I believe Real will win the first two games. And since Hapoel doesn't have the home advantage, Real has a very good chance to win everything in three games.

After winning the regular season games in the Euroleague, Real seems to be doing very well and effectively at the same time. In the last 9 games of the Real team, 170 points were scored 8 times, and on March 24th with Hapoel, 175 points were scored. The Jewish club has scored over 170 points in 11 consecutive games, so two offensive-oriented teams will meet. Both teams have great basketball players and although their defense may be stronger in the playoffs, the offense will still dominate, so we expect a high scoring game.

Just like every team, Valencia also has its strengths and weaknesses. What they struggle with is defending against perimeter players, as evidenced in their recent game against Hayes, who scored 19 points. Lately, Hayes has been struggling with scoring, only managing to score a total of 6 points in the past two games. If he doesn't score in the double digits today, it will be a new low for him.

Birutis played against Fener very briefly because it was a very unfavorable matchup for all of Jasikevicius' front line players. Sleeva and Tubelis will take minutes from Laurynas. And during the periods, there will definitely not be any special plays focusing on ball distribution.

Like every team, Valencia also has its strengths and weaknesses. What they struggle with is defending against perimeter players, but they excel at the last few close games, where Hayes scored 19 points. The same happened in the recent game against Real, where the majority of points were scored by forwards Hezonja (17pts) and Lyles (16pts). Today, I expect something similar, and if Hayes doesn't score more than 10 points, the team won't stop.

There is a better chance to open in game 1, to surprise someone. The second match will be much more difficult, as the opponents will have adapted and the coach will make adjustments. Local champions Bitim and Jantunen have suffered injuries, so it is unclear whether they will play today, and if they do, how they will feel. Although they may not seem like serious players, in the rotation, Ghana has important tasks, especially since Ghana has a weak composition at Fenerio this year.
