Myanmar. Just an ordinary Dagon Port match, where we can expect goals. The team doesn't change their style, attacking aggressively with great force, and now they are also in great form on offense, scoring many points. However, their defense still faces many problems and in this match it seems that even their offense will have a difficult time fighting for points. As usual, Port will create chances for scoring, but their opponent this time is the league leader, with a strong offense, and playing on their home field where United usually plays effectively. All signs point to a fun match with many goals.
The first season finale and it features an Italian against a Kazakh. It's time for Lorenzo to win something, he seems motivated and I enjoy how he plays. Of course, sometimes in the most important moments he starts to play very passively, that often trips him up... Bublik is also not holding back, it's a bit of a shock to see Bublik in the top 10, but I believe in the Italian more.
After a successful tournament in Brisbane, the Belgian is moving on to another Australian city and once again has to play confidently. Although the match against Nakashima was disappointing, after taking four sets against Peru and being in good form, he must continue in this tournament against Italy. The Italian veteran has not played since September, and this will be his first tournament. Everything seems to be in favor of the Belgian, who I believe will confidently handle the situation.
Adelaide ATP Australia and in the qualifiers, local Christopher O'Connell faces a weak-looking British player. An interesting fact is that both tennis players lost to the same opponent in the previous tournament qualifiers, but their performance in their own country against Sweeny, and also against Bashilasvili in Peru, shows that the Australian is currently superior. The factors are quite clear, as the British player seemed very weak and all Australians play significantly better in their own country.
Adelaide, Cirstea, a 35-year-old Romanian, demonstrates stable tennis in Ghana, adapting to their style. She knows when to serve better, when to rush to the net, always having a good game plan. Of course, one should not expect too much from a veteran, but she still has some stages to go through. As for the Russian player Rakhimova, she lacks stability. It seems that she plays overs frequently on a hard surface, and she has enough potential, but her results are tragic and incomprehensible. She makes foolish decisions. Sometimes she might not have enough strength, as she often loses a set, but still ends up losing. She has played in 21 tournaments on hard surfaces and has lost in the first round 12 times. She recently played a tough three-set match against S. Zhang, so I think she might struggle a bit, although she is playing with a veteran.

She seems to play well on hard courts, and has enough potential, but her results are tragic and even incomprehensible. She makes silly decisions. Maybe sometimes she doesn't have enough strength, as she often gets stuck in a set, but still loses. On hard courts, she played in 21 tournaments and lost in the first round 12 times.

What else can I try with LaMelo, this season often covers When I walk with him even though the season plays unstably. Well, there are no new arguments, the opponent is just very favorable for Overius, for a good statistical performance, and Ball himself entered in a great rhythm in the previous game against Indiana where he scored 33 points and made 7 three-pointers. I think he will at least make 20 points and 7 assists, and the game will be an overall Overius match, as the Jazz almost allow an average of 130 points per game.
Having caught a very good form and fighting for the league title, Rangers defeated Aberdeen 2-0 at home in their last match and controlled the game. Although it will be harder to play away, Peru should once again celebrate Rangers. Aberdeen looks tragic this season and even though the team had a minimal spark, now they are in a rut and lose almost every match, so the prediction is quite clear.
Although Ajax Netherlands is not as popular as before or as PSV, they still hold a high position as a strong team. Their good form and consistently scored goals look very promising from the side of Ajax, and it should continue when they play against Telstar. Being a team fighting for survival, they don't often lose at the end like they did at the beginning of the season, but when faced with serious opposition, they tend to surrender. The worst performing team at home, Telstar, concedes a lot of goals, so Ajax should be able to score and win.
Milan is a very solid team in good form, and this season they have only lost two games in a row, so their stability is noticeable. Now, it's time for Peru after the unlucky games. It's normal that there will be more focus and motivation before playing against Fiorentina, even though they are fighting to avoid relegation. Milan is in great form and playing good football, while Fiorentina's poor season gives hope for a successful outcome for the visiting team.
Although the match won't be easy, the Virtus team seems to be the clear favorite. Venezia, who have a decent number of solid basketball players, are not performing well in defense. On the other hand, Virtus this season know how to effectively punish and play successfully in terms of point collection. Even though it's been a tough week, Virtus still seems to be in great shape, and Venezia at home has a long losing streak which must come to an end.
Finally, after losing in the Israeli league, Hapeol should regroup and focus on this championship, especially against a strong team like Ironi. Hapeol consistently plays very well against teams of this level, even without using their full roster or substitutes, who try their best in this league, so a double-digit handicap seems very likely.
Although the match is an away game, the tendency of Žalgiris this season, when the team plays well, it overwhelms its opponents, and in the LKL, Žalgiris consistently wins by large margins, especially against lower-ranked teams. This is despite injuries on the Žalgiris team, but with a deep bench, Žalgiris appears to be much stronger than Šiauliai, which is already clear. The line does not seem as high as I expected, considering the impressive performance and consistency of Žalgiris in the LKL this season.
Adelaide Pliskova Karolina has been plagued by various injuries in recent years, only playing in three matches last year. Her form has absolutely plummeted and it looks tragic, as she now even has a lot of problems against ITF level players. She lost to Gjorcheska L. in two sets, to Iatcenko Polina in three sets, and barely won against Andrianjafitrimo Tessah in three sets. From what I have seen of her, she seems to have lost her game skills, makes very crude mistakes, doesn't bend her knees at the net, and her serving is not consistent.
On the other hand, Cirstea Sorana-Mihaela, a 35-year-old veteran from Romania, but who did well in Ghana in 2025, maintains good ranking positions and demonstrates stable tennis. This year, she has already beaten Pavlyuchenkova A. and Ostapenko in two sets.
Over the past year, Karolina Pliskova from Adelaide has been troubled by various injuries, only playing in three tournaments last year. Her form has drastically declined and she even struggles against ITF level players. She lost in two sets against Gjorcheska L. and in three sets against Iatcenko Polina, but managed to defeat Andrianjafitrimo Tessah in three sets. Watching her, one can see that she has lost her skills and makes very rough mistakes, not bending at the net, and her serve is not stable. Sorana-Mihaela Cirstea, a 35-year-old veteran from Romania, had a good year in 2025, maintaining a good ranking position and demonstrating stable tennis. This year, she has already defeated Pavlyuchenkova A. and Ostapenko in two sets each.
