The Lisbon club has arrived here with their strongest lineup and will finally aim to break their losing streak away from home in the international arena. The team has reached their home arena in Peru, but has only managed to defeat one opponent away. As Berlin has won against their opponents today, "Sporting" has dropped to third place in the group and will strive to win in order to secure their spot in second place and guarantee a ticket to the quarter-finals. "Wisla" club finished the tournament with a three-game winning streak, guaranteeing them a spot in the next stage. However, they will not climb any higher in the group. So I go into this evening's match with even more motivation from the visiting team.

The entire team has already achieved victory at home, but only managed to defeat one opponent away. With Berlin winning their match today, "Sporting" has dropped to third place in the group and will aim to win in order to reclaim their second position and secure a spot in the quarterfinals. The "Wisla" club gave a three-goal lead towards the end of the tournament, guaranteeing them a spot in the next stage. However, they will not advance any higher in the group.

Recently, Belgians have been playing solely on an equal footing, but it doesn't seem to reflect their good game, their attack is stuck, and they recently even had an extremely poor match. The Poles don't lose at home and have also been showing good form lately. In November, they played against Molde and demonstrated complete dominance. Today's opponent is similar, or perhaps even a weaker level club than the Norwegians. I do not rule out the possibility that the Belgians will score against us, but the Poles should create opportunities and even with a lead, I do not think they will feel safe before the away game. They have a lot of talent in their attack.

Eintracht does not seem to be in good form at the moment, I expected them to put up a fight against Bayer at home, but they were crushed and had no hope of getting into the playoffs. They now face a difficult away match against a team that is in good form and has recently shown character by overcoming SG in a match where they were at a disadvantage and made it to the next stage. It is crucial for Ajax to win at home against Peru before the return leg, as it will be very difficult for them to get a good result away.
Curry loves to play in New York, but during the 2012-13 season he averaged 28.9 points per game in 21 matchups against the Knicks and Nets, and overall he scored 29.1 and 26+ points in 8 out of 10 games since his breakout season. Curry himself is demonstrating MVP-level performance, with 29.4 PPG in the last 11 games and scoring at least 26 points in 7 out of those 11 games. The only thing that could affect the under is if there is a blowout, but I believe Curry can still make up for it and fix the total in the third quarter.
