Africa, women's AFCON. Zambia is already practically in the next stage, so there is a bit of rotation, but the key attackers Banda and Kundananji are starting, as winning and scoring as many goals as possible could secure the 1st place spot. With them, Zambia has one of the better attacking lines and has so far proven it successfully with a 3-2 win against Senegal and a 2-2 draw against Morocco. It's hard to expect anything under from their match against DR Congo, as both teams have already conceded goals and DR Congo has no chance of advancing further. Their defense is weak, but their attack is not bad, as they managed to score against Morocco twice (2:4), so they could also score against Zambia.

Oh yes, these are just honor games, no one will be trying too hard. But that does not mean that teams won't play vigorously, as both of them will want to finish the tournament in Peru. It's not worth saving yourself and worrying about cards. Spanish referee O. Olmedo has shown an average of 2.87 cards per game this season.

Germany is the favorite and has a stronger motivation to win due to the strategic advantage in the quarterfinals. Sweden will fight fiercely, but Germany's experience should prevail. Germany has a higher chance of winning (around 60-65% probability) due to their historical advantage, current form, and stronger team composition. Sweden may pose a serious challenge, but Germany's experience and offensive strength should lead to victory. Predicted score: 2-1 or 1-0 in favor of Germany.

It is likely that the match will end in five sets, as both players are very close to each other in terms of form, and their previous encounter was extremely competitive. Some sources predict five sets (eg. Bleacher Report: Sinner to win in five), while others predict four (eg. Last Word on Sports: Alcaraz to win in four).

None of these chosen teams have earned any points after playing their matches and will say goodbye to the championship after the games. Today the football players will try to demonstrate that they are worth something. But will they all succeed?

I would say that the Denmark team is rightfully the favorite for the upcoming match. This is proven by their results and the quality of their game. However, I wouldn't expect more than three goals per match. A score of 2-0 or 2-1 in favor of Denmark would be the best outcome. After all, even Sweden and Germany didn't score that many goals against these teams: only one, two, or three goals.

The main championship battles are still ahead, so there really is no reason to waste resources unnecessarily in this match, as both Sweden and Germany have qualified for the knockout rounds. The Swedish team did not concede a single goal in their two matches, while Germany only scored against Denmark. I believe a 1:1 score would satisfy both teams.

Very friendly. Austru BW Linz is in the highest league, while German Dusseldorf is in the second league. The Dusseldorf team has enough skill to beat us, but they also tend to concede as many goals as they score, so it's a team that can be beaten. However, in this game, we are looking friendly, and we are considered good in defense, so I hope for at least 3+ goals from both teams.

Two teams meet, which will advance to the quarter-finals. It remains to be seen which team will finish first in the group and which second. In both teams, only one player was cautioned in two matches. So there is not a big risk for the players to miss the playoffs. On average, the Swedish team commits 12 fouls, while the German team commits 8. Referee Gasperotti shows an average of 2.92 yellow cards in this season.

Having a hand injury is not good, but after it, Sinner easily handled two serious tennis players and now it's Alcaraz's turn. Already on clay, Sinner was leading with a 2-0 win and even had a break, but miraculously the Spaniard saved himself. Now it's not the clay where Alcaraz has an advantage, but the grass where the current Sinner is significantly better. Personally, I don't see much chance for Alcaraz and I hope for such a result.

The Timberwolves look very good and are clearly the favorites in the second match. The Nuggets even lost their first match against the Bucks and their team composition doesn't look good when compared to the Timberwolves, who have more than one key player receiving an important role, unlike anyone who doesn't play for an NBA team. The first match was won by 7 points, but with each game, the Timberwolves play better and better, so the handicap also increases. I hope it will be achieved.

The Pelicans team did not seem very good and even were considered strong underdogs against the Timberwolves team with a coefficient of more than 3, but now they are given equal chances against the Lakers who are very strong in this summer league. James, Knecht, and other decent basketball players are displaying strong potential.

The Flaggs managed to defeat the Lakers team and now it's the Spurs' turn, who may not be as strong as the Lakers. After the game, the first comment was that it was their worst performance with only 10 points, so we can expect even better performance from the Mavericks' future leader. The Spurs played a great game and I hope they will have a tougher time in the next one, giving the Mavericks a better chance to win.

Finishing the championship without fighting against Peru in such a group is not a tragedy, but never scoring a goal and not being able to celebrate its victory would be a shame. For Poland, this is the last chance to score a goal against a weaker opponent than it was for Germany or Sweden. On the other hand, the Danes are favorites and it is logical, but in terms of prestige, there will be no maximum motivation and they may feel relaxed. Usually in such games, teams play more attacking football and defense becomes secondary.
