Bayer has fired Ten Haag and the team should certainly be in much better spirits after such news. The lineup is solid, playing at home and although the opponent is not bad, the team should have an easier or more difficult time defeating them. Bayer has a lot of potential in the attack, which seemed to not have been fully utilized under the friendly Ten Haag. I don't expect the defense to start working, but the offense usually improves after a coaching change. The guests are capable of at least scoring a goal here.

Bayer has a lot of potential in the offense, which until now has not been fully utilized since the friendly matches under ten Hag. I do not expect the defense to start working, but the offense usually improves after a change in coaches. I believe the guests will be able to score at least one goal here.
We cannot afford to let Ipswich scatter points like this, even at the beginning of the season. They were strong opponents, but our team is fighting for the highest goals and a return to the Premier League, so we must face each opponent and focus only on the victory. The guests are in a tragic form, still without any points and playing unconvincingly, especially against such an opponent and away.
The Munich team is aiming to return to the top. Half of the team consists of foreign players and national team members. Plus, an American coach has taken over the helm. As a result, the team demonstrates a fast and attacking style of play. "Kolner" is not far behind, but the team has gathered a strong and productive lineup, so they should also be able to score goals at home.
Both teams lost their first matches. "Mountfield" had plenty of opportunities but ended up with a 1-7 result against "Pardubice" club. So at home, I hope the team takes advantage of those opportunities, especially since they were better than the home team in Peru. "Budejovice" strengthened their offense in the summer and could also score goals here.
As I think that the tempo will be dictated by the Turkish team, I also believe that the over will pass, with a lot of fouls slowing down the fast defenders, so points will be accumulated. I would guess around 168 points in total.
The Turkish team is much more versatile in my eyes, having offensive options and I think that the odds for them are just as sweet as taking candy from a baby. Greece can of course get stuck in their slow game, and it would be interesting to see how the Turkish team would handle that, but I do not believe that Greece can dictate the game for the Turks at the moment, as they rely heavily on Giannis' playing style.
Preparing for the season and the world stage of the Champions League, Unicaja is playing their final friendly matches. Having already played several matches, Unicaja looks quite impressive, dominating in their friendly games with Real and winning by over 3 periods, with other strong teams also being defeated by solid margins. Granada was left behind in the previous season, so their score is expected to be similar this season. The team is not strong, and Unicaja easily manages to defeat them, as shown in all 6 of their previous meetings, where Unicaja crushed their opponents.
Israeli Cup. Hapoel, with their super lineup and great coach, officially starts the season. The well-performing and one of the Euroleague favorites, Hapoel, must confidently handle the Nes Ziona club. Just a few days ago, the Ziona club, who lost by 24 points at home against league average teams, now I hope to see them lose by a minimum of 20 points away, especially against a strong opponent like Hapoel.
Brøndby IF is one of the most serious teams in the Danish league, but they cannot compare to FC Copenhagen, who are head and shoulders above all other teams. The unsuccessful performances and elimination from European competition do not paint a positive picture for Brøndby IF, while FC Copenhagen looks outstanding. The Danish champions play very well, as evidenced by their results in the league and qualification for the Champions League group stage. Even though there are many changes after the national team games, I believe that the champions are a clear choice.
Although Famalicao started the season very well playing at home, they are only average teams in the league, and champions Sporting easily defeats them. Sporting confidently won against all average teams, with the exception of Porto, who took points from Sporting. Therefore, we can expect a successful and dominating game from Sporting. As one of the top clubs in Portugal, they usually win against average teams by at least two goals and have a high scoring rate, so I do not expect any exceptions in this game.
Having won nothing in the previous season, the Real team is currently playing successfully and confidently. They have won all three league games and have dominated in all of them. Now, Real is facing their toughest opponent yet in the league, but it is still the out-of-form Sociedad. Real looks very strong and hungry, so I would predict their victory.
