Doncicius, from what I understand, will only play against Latvians tomorrow, so Lithuania's defense will have an easier task. The legs are heavy, after yesterday's game there won't be much energy left to run. I am hoping for a slower game, the Slovenians will struggle in their offense, so they will have to compensate with good defense.

The first match of the French league, two powerful teams will meet. "Marseille" here, as always, has big goals and this year will strive to compete for the title with PSG. "Rennes" is also a top team in the first half. So at home, in front of their own fans, they will want to show their best against a strong opponent. It is likely that both teams are not in their optimal form and there may be mistakes, which can create opportunities for goals. Referee Pignard last season managed 18 games in Ligue 1 and on average showed 4.33 warnings.

Friendly.. Finland giants Lukko continue their cycle of friendly matches, trying out new players. In their last friendly, Lukko suffered a loss, so expecting a second loss today would be illogical. The guests are consistent mid-range players in the tournament.

Germany cup matches. The Leverkusen team is having a great training session here in preparation for the new season. So far, they have won three out of five preparation matches, and their new coach E. ten Hag should be able to field their main lineup here. The hosts, a regional league team, have won two out of two matches in their league so far, but there should be a noticeable difference between the two teams, and I believe the goal of the visiting team is to at least score a goal.

Turkey giants with Mourinho look very good, but also very productive because we have a lot of talent in attack, but a weak defense. Goztepe is a serious mid-table team, who were a tough nut to crack for top teams last season. This season, the team has strengthened even more and I believe they will look even better. Goals flow when these teams play because their attack is very good, but it's difficult to talk about their defense. Football itself is open, so I hope these matches will be productive.

Having started the season superbly, Benfica has already won the Super Cup and defeated the Nice club both away and at home in the Champions League. I don't think there's anything left to say about Estrella club, which Benfica has beaten 9 times in a row. Benfica looks very strong and dominant, and I don't see any chances for weaker teams in the league.

In this season, the Premier League favorites City, once again with a strong team, start their season against one of the weaker teams in the league, Wolves. Haaland is playing and scoring consistently, which is a huge plus for the City team, and their reinforcements also look good. Although Wolves have strengthened their team with some new players, City has also sold one of their most promising players, Nouri. With a strong defense and even stronger City team, I believe that they will win and keep a clean sheet.

The battle for 11th place at the World Youth Championship. The Czechs surprised us with their performance and especially with their equal score against Egypt, but Peru only managed to win against teams from other continents and European opponents were just too tough. The Swiss also didn't shine, they fell to where they were expected to, but they still want to finish the tournament successfully. According to statistical components, both teams show similar results, but the Czechs stand out only in terms of conversion rates. However, if they don't perform well today, it will be difficult. I am especially looking forward to this close match and I believe the Swiss are capable of beating Peru.

Asia, ASEAN club championship. Response matches, in the first match Brunei Kasuka won at home 2-1, which was a bit unexpected, but the team with fast, physical foreign players attacked solidly and in the end, it will be what is needed and today and what will be their chance to survive and maintain advantage, because after all, Cebu are the favorites here and they will press and try to hit from the first minutes, in attack they also have a lot of resources and enough class to break through the guests' defense. During the time since the first match, they also managed to strengthen themselves with attacking players, which should cause more problems for the opponents.

New season, eh?

Liverpool has bought some players, of course, it's not certain that they will live up to expectations, but they are good players and they also have the advantage of playing at home (I still think that the former team member's desire to win will only increase). Bournemouth, on the other hand, has sold their defense and bought new players from lower leagues, who knows if they will adapt well in England.

The VP team is just starting to ride with Peru, who still doesn't show any good results, while Spirit recently took a tournament, despite rumors about zont1x leaving the team. I don't think that will stop Spirit and Donk with their strong forms, maybe they don't show their top game yet, but VP makes a lot of mistakes, which Spirit should take advantage of and win 2-0.

The VP team is just starting to take on Peru, which still doesn't show good results, while Spirit recently won a tournament, no matter how many rumors about Zont1x leaving are flying around. I believe that Spirit and Donk, with their sh1iro form, will not be stopped. They may not show their top game, but VP makes a lot of mistakes, which Spirit should take advantage of and aim for a 2-0 victory.

The Serbians gathered such a composition that the Czechs in this situation appear as a very weak opponent. They let the Spaniards score 87 points and lost by 14 points, although the Spanish team doesn't seem to be a really threatening team now, having also lost against the Spanish B team. The Serbians should just rampage in offense against weaker defensive teams.

The Serbians have gathered such a composition that the Czechs appear to be a very weak opponent in this situation. They allowed 87 points to the Spanish and lost by 14 points, although the Spanish do not seem to be a truly formidable team now, having also suffered a defeat against the Spanish B team. The Serbians should simply dominate in the attack against weaker defensive teams.

This total definitely looks small for Nigeria, and their rival Tunisia, which recently does not seem to focus on defense as they used to before. Nigeria did not have the most favorable opponent for an opener, the pace might have been good, but they were not accurate. On the other hand, Tunisia let in 86 points against Cameroon, even though they only scored 65 points, they attempted 75 shots, proving that their team plays at a good tempo.

The consistently strong 3 and over goals attack from Galatasaray Turkey has become a standard. The Turkish champions are especially dominant at home, and in this season, they have not scored less than 2 goals (including friendly matches). In most matches last season, Galatasaray won by a margin of 2 or more goals, and it seems that this trend continues in the current season as well, as shown in the first round where they won 0-3 even without the key players Osimhen and Icardi who are expected to return soon. Currently, Sane Yilmaz and others are sufficient to fill in for these missing players at home.

Liverpool, the champions of England, are defending their title this season and should do so as most experts say. With their strong team, Liverpool has made some high-level player acquisitions who quickly adapted to the team. Their defense might be a problem, but against a team like Bournemouth, control should be on the home team's side. After scoring 2 and over goals in friendly matches, Liverpool's strong offense should continue in the Premier League. With 5 wins against Bournemouth and last season's results of 0-2 and 3-0, Liverpool seems confident, especially since it will be a tough season for the away team as they have sold 3 defenders and failed to strengthen their team. While entering the game with missing defenders, Anfield's strong Liverpool should dominate, and with the handicap set at 3 goals for Liverpool and maximum 1 for Bournemouth, it seems like a good bet.

Recently, both teams caught shape, especially in the offense as seen in the lineups. But the question mark remains regarding the starting pitchers for both teams today, as NC Dinos will start with Allen who has a 3.68 ERA and has already started once against Hanwha this season and performed poorly, with a 18 ERA and giving away 6 runs in the first 2 innings. Meanwhile, Hanwha will start the game with a new pitcher for whom this should be a baptism by fire, so we can expect runs from both teams.

With a strong rotation and only Doncic of Slovenia present, there is hope that Lithuania's Siauliai will continue their cycle of friendly games. Fast basketball and long breaks allow for the expectation that fatigue won't be felt, and without Cancar and Nebo, the Slovenians may not be as strong, so Lithuania has a chance to win – but we will see how it goes at the championship.
