It is more difficult for Mouz to play against teams such as the one with a player like Kyousuke, but he does not yet have a good team gameplay. There are many solo decisions, which is why players like Niko are sometimes overshadowed. Now things are a bit different, allowing Niko to play his role more, but Kyo has to adapt, which brings some micro mistakes, which Mouz should exploit well. I believe it will be a close fight, but due to the lack of team gameplay, I choose Mouz over Falcons, who are currently showing the most perfect team play.
It doesn't look too bad, heroic seems to have overcome spirits, tn1r is shooting well for sure. The lineup in this tournament is definitely a mix of chill players and a lot of solo plays, which can make it difficult to read the decisions of the enemy teams. There is a decent amount of skill and firepower in the team as well. Aurora is showing good team play, but I think there is a lack of skill at the moment, so heroic has a real chance to compete here.
It doesn't look bad, heroic has conquered spirits, tn1r shoots well for sure, probably the best composition in this tournament and this team plays chill and has a lot of solo plays, which brings not an easy reading and decision making for enemy teams, a considerable amount of skill and firepower in the team itself. Aurora shows good team play, but I think there is a lot of under-skilled players at the moment, so it's very possible heroic will give a tough fight here.
The second leg of the Copa Libertadores tournament's Round of 16 match. The first meeting ended with a 0-0 result. It is interesting that in this game, Argentina committed 16 fouls, but managed to avoid any warnings. Meanwhile, "Libertad" committed only 9 fouls and received three cards. Now, everything depends on Argentina, where the home team, considered to be the favorites, will feel more pressure in this match.
The Red Sox will start with a decent pitcher, but the Yankees have caught such a hot streak in their offense that it's difficult to stop them even for an elite pitcher. The Yankees have a starting ERA of 5.14, which should allow the Red Sox to contribute to the total. The Red Sox have a starting ERA of 3.63, but the Yankees' current form in their offense should take the lead. This season, the teams have played in Yankee Stadium three times and all three matches ended with 10+ runs - 15, 17, and 18.
Over (36.5 Points & Rebounds A'ja Wilson) @-111 8/10
The girl from the cosmos has finished the last 6 games, Vegas won 8 in a row, 10 out of the last 11, and Wilson collected 41, 52, 33, 46, 42, and 44 points and rebounds in 5 out of the last 6. One of these games was against Mercury with a score of 30/16, making it the 4th matchup this season. Wilson missed the first game due to injury, but the following 2 ended with a total of 44 and 46 pts&reb.
Champions Al Sadd started the season with a sensational failure against Qatar SC 2-3. The team looked good in attack, but old problems with defense tripped them up. Today it's hard to expect a different outcome. The offense is strong, with Firmino starting tonight, they shouldn't have any problems breaking through the weak Ahli defense, but how well they will defend is another question. Ahli also started the season with a loss and they are a team that focuses on attacking - if it goes well, they score high, if not, no one can save them.
Women, friendly Lyon. It is clear here that the favorites are the French, one of the best European teams, who have strengthened their roster even further this summer, especially in defense and attack. They have already played a couple of friendly matches behind closed doors, where they defeated Swiss and German clubs 5-0/3-0. This will be their first match against their own fans, so motivation shouldn't be lacking. The Ghanaian English club is young and has just entered their country's top league, with many new faces, so it will take time for them to adjust. They will have to adapt more, and if they can use their individual talent on offense, the biggest challenge will be their defense - as their opponent is strong in attack and also playing their second friendly match. Overall, the French should dominate here with their attacking style of play, which will lead to several goals being scored.
Women's 3x3 Series
In my opinion, a very valuable bet
The Americans, as always, with great talent, Linea Harper is not easily stopped
I watched the Rome tournament, not much defense, the game was all about shooting, but it was done at a high level, the pace of the game is suitable for American girls. The total score of only 21-10 would have been for Ghana, if the USA didn't easily defeat Peru.
The new season of the same teams, Groningen just like last season (9 away points, 30 at home) started with a 4-1 loss away from AZ, and a 2-1 win at home against Heerenven. PSV, just like last season, enjoys scoring goals and has a 6-0 win against Sparta and a 2-0 win away from home against Twente. PSV will be hosting Groningen, so if everything goes according to normal tendencies, they should win easily. In the last season, both at home and away, PSV had a great record against this club, with an overall score of 8-1 (5-0 at home).
The athletics lost in the first round and I am waiting for a reaction. It was a difficult first round, away with Espanyol, whose field is very small and few teams have won there this season, so it's not surprising that the result was not in their favor, even though they were the favorites. Taking into account the fact that the athletics are usually unstable away, while they rarely drop points at their own stadium, it is not likely that anything will change this year. Elche is a newly promoted club, and although they dominated the first match against Betis, they only managed to get a draw in front of their fans. I don't think they will have the same luck in this round, the Madrid club should win with at least 2 goals, they have a better team.
The Como club will be a tough nut to crack this year, after a great first season in Serie A where the team improved greatly on their performance and now have the possibility to compete for European spots after a significant investment in the summer. We will prepare for Como like we did against Lille, Ajax, and Betis, although we did suffer a defeat against Barcelona, but as we know, Barcelona is Barcelona. In the first round, we will face Lazio at home, who are always a tough opponent, but they are a team that has always been and still is a contender for European spots. However, this year's team has a similar composition to last season's team, which was not very stable. I believe Como should take this opportunity.
It was difficult to watch Ana play against Chelsea for a week, Palace was tactically very well prepared and successfully executed their solid defense plan. I believe the reaction from the Blues will be more favorable, as I do not think West Ham will close up at home, giving plenty of room for Chelsea's attacking talent to shine. In my opinion, West Ham may be a contender for survival this year, as there haven't been major changes within the team after a poor season and their new start has been rather tragic with a 3-0 loss to newcomers Sunderland.
Now the preparation is reaching its end and we are reaping the fruits of a great evening between 2 superstars. I'm going with Jokic over, which is a total that he can easily cover without breaking a sweat, as long as the motivation to play aggressively today is there. I believe the duel with Doncic should bring out the best in Nikola. The Slovenian defense is nothing good, and they don't have a decent stopper (although it seems like someone does against Nikola ;D). Jokic's last couple of games have been unproductive, which I think will only add to the success of the Over, since such low-scoring games for a player like him are very rare.
Although the match in Alytus was on a unique court, Lithuania has proved its strong desire to play and defend. In friendly matches, the team looks very good, and in the last match, we can expect not only a good game, but also a good result so that we go into the championship with a good trend. Iceland played against weak teams and looked weak, and the only time we played against a serious team, we ended up with a -26 point difference against Italy. Lithuania is very good and motivated to beat Iceland with a large margin.
