Barca is simply a better team, as for the Copa semifinals, I won't mention many thoughts because it was just a cosmic 1st half for Atleti, but then Barca barely avoided a loss at home and won 3-0 in the end, by the way 3 out of 4 overall H2H wins for Barca this season, including another 3-1 win at home. Barca is simply unbeatable at home, with only 1 home loss this season in all tournaments recently, scoring 2+ goals in 9 matches in a row. Atletico themselves haven't been playing well away, losing 4 out of their last 6 away matches, only against the strongest opponents apart from Real. I believe Barca will have the advantage even without Raphinho, who is a big loss, but I trust that Rashford can fill in, as he is a reliable player for the big games in his career. As for other options for Barca's attack, it's not even worth talking about, as we all know what kind of machine it is. I predict a 3-0 win.

Two interesting and well-formed teams. Like myself, I also saw periods where they were able to predict that the match will be high-scoring. Porto is in good form and should dominate at home and score goals, while Nottingham's defense is weak. The English club is capable of scoring goals, whether it's City or Tottenham - this team can score goals. Therefore, from the first match, I believe we will see attacking football with many opportunities and clear goals.

Two defensive-oriented teams and the first match indicate an under. The difficult period for Aston Villa is already in the past, where the team used to concede a lot of goals, and even the English club itself does not score many goals. Bologna, representing Italy, is known for its dominant playing style in this country's teams. In their past 4 playoff matches, Bologna has not exceeded 3 overs, and Aston Villa has not been able to play with results in both games. The first of the two matches is usually more calm in recent years, so I believe there will be an under in this clash of teams.

After being eliminated from the European tournament, another Turkish club lost points in the local league, but now they have to play with confidence in Turkey again. Although Samsunspor team has a history of injuries, they are, in my opinion, the favorites for this match. The weaker average teams in the league are not in good form and struggle to win against stronger opponents. Samsunspor is a good team that performed impressively in Europe, which affected their performance in the league, but now they are focusing solely on Turkey and their game should improve, as well as their results, especially against a strong team like Rizespor.

Only with Bankem, it will be the 4th meeting between the teams in the last 2 months... each knows how it has been peeled... The last meeting was last week, Barca won away 1-2, but it doesn't mean anything because Atl has already buried the league, so they started the game without an attack, both Sorloth and Lukman and Alvarez were all sitting on the bench, it's obvious that they were being saved for the Champions League matches. Barca's attack team can score 3 or 4 goals with their eyes closed, but their defense is a different story, there have always been and will always be problems with their playing style and the forwards who don't help the defenders, they concede a lot of goals. Barca is the clear favorite, but there could be surprises in terms of goals in the game. I think it could be 3-2 or 4-2.

Lee is out, Cordinier is out. In the last game, he also wasn't there and he scored 12 points. In the last 24 matches, in all fronts, he only scored such a total 5 times.

Zalgiris has no other way out, leaving everything to be solved in the last match with Paris would be too risky. I believe that the players will be motivated and the coach will prepare for the match more responsibly than with Dubai. Zalgiris has a talented and well-composed team and if they play to their abilities, they can win against Paris. There is also news that Partizan's center Jekiri will most likely not play.

Bourgas demonstrated a better game throughout the entire Eurocup season than Turk Telekom, and they also show good results in the French League. Plus, they play at home and I believe they will finish the first series of matches unexpectedly with a win at home against Peru.

This will only be the third game since Mirotic returned from his foot injury, and during that time there have been significant changes, with the team losing four players - Theis, Nedovic, Tarpey, and James - due to injuries, which resulted in a shortened bench and an overabundance of minutes for Mirotic. Today is a great opportunity for him to fulfill this event: the game is being played at home - which is important for this basketball player - and it is necessary to stay in the play-in race. Therefore, the team's motivation is high.

It will only be the third game when Mirotic returns from a foot injury, and during that time there have been significant changes: the team has lost four players - Theis, Nedovic, Tarpey, and James - which has resulted in a shortened bench and overworked players. This means that Mirotic will have more opportunities for shooting. In this season, he has not yet crossed the 20-point mark, although in past seasons he would do so at least once a month. Today is a great opportunity for this to happen: the game is played in the home arena - which is important for this basketball player - and winning is necessary to stay in the play-in's. The team's motivation is high.

Hapeol once again started winning games and scoring a lot of points on the offense. Currently, the Israeli club has maintained this streak in 7 out of the last 8 matches, and the incoming Olympiacos is a great choice to continue this trend. Olympiacos appears to be very productive this season, and when playing on the training ground in Bulgaria, I believe we can expect a lot of points.

26 points at home show that Real is capable of playing against Fenerbahce, but when we see the Turkish club here, it's just Real's dominance. I won't lie by saying that Fenerbahce is not a strong club and as it was easy for them, it's not going well now and there are problems within. Real is a solid team with their veterans and very interesting newcomers this season, who I believe will take advantage of a club like Fenerbahce.

The Milano club is well able to adapt to the fast-paced basketball teams, but both when playing against slower teams, it is not worth expecting many points from them. Bayern has changed its face and no longer scores high numbers in offense, and has significantly slowed down its basketball game. The match is quite important for sportsmanship, and although both teams have no chance of qualifying for the playoffs, I believe there will be a strong competition, especially with the German team playing very unproductively.

Hello.
Euroleague. Efes vs. Partizan. Let's go with Partizan over 82.5 points. Partizan has had a great streak lately. In the last 6 games, they have scored 6 overs and only missed one. Taking the average of the last 6 games, Partizan scores an average of 91.2 points, which is much higher than the given total. With Carlik Jones back, the team seems much better in offense, converting it into high scores.

Efes has also been having a poor defensive performance this season. In the last 7 games, they have only allowed their opponents to score under 83 points in 3 games (82 against Real, 80 against Bayern and 78 against Barca). Taking the average of the whole season, Efes allows their opponents to score an average of 84.8 points, but in the last 7 games, this number goes up to an average of 88.7 points. Larkin might return to Efes' lineup today, but as a player who hasn't played for a long time, I believe he will be more of a disadvantage than an advantage defensively.

Good luck.
