The direct battle for survival in the league and the home factor here, and also against such fans, I believe, will become a pivotal factor for Peru. Legia is definitely a stronger team on paper than their position in the table suggests. They played in the Conference group stage. Lately, they have been in a solid form, and their results at home have been good overall. The visitors have very similar statistical indicators, but they are the second worst team when playing away. I am expecting good energy from Legia here, and hopefully at least a goal in the first half.

Burnley is not fighting for anything, the game is tragic, there is no defense and they are still welcoming guests, facing a team that desperately needs points. Leeds has caught good form, which was necessary to climb out of the relegation zone, but the situation is still not calm, however, with 3 points, everything would practically be solved. The offense is good, even better than some of the traditional Premier League teams, but the defense is definitely not the strongest. I am expecting an open and enjoyable game of football.
A high coefficient for Ghana is given here for Dundalk, taking into account the situation on the table. This team holds the 3rd place and is currently solidly fighting for Europe and at home with a record of 4 wins, 2 draws, and 0 losses in front of their fans. The Shelbourne team tragically occupies the 3rd to last place, tied in points with the last place team and also with a streak of 4 losses. At the moment, Dundalk should be able to gather all 3 points.
Water polo World Cup, women's... competition in the Netherlands. Despite Italy's progress, renewed and praised for their teamwork, they managed to win. Today their opponents are Greece, one of the top teams in Europe. The latter had a friendly competition cycle last month and arrived in good form.
Belgium. The final is just three days away. The host team is considered the most titled and solid in the country, but had a tough time in the semi-finals, winning the series 2-1. In the semi-finals against VC Maaseik, they did not lose a single set and clearly dominated their opponent. However... today is the first match of the final series, where Roeselare must start with a win at home.
The biggest downside is that Maledon is a rising player from the bench, allowing Campazzo to rest. As a result, he doesn't get a lot of playing time. But I would say he utilizes his entrances very effectively. When he played for Asvel and had a bigger role, his statistics were much better. Maledon distributes quite a few passes to his teammates. In the regular season, he had an average of 3 assists. Overall, he is quick and causes turnovers effectively.
The Legia club, which has had 5 series in Peru, is sharing 1-2 place in the league. Out of 5 games won, only 1 team GTK is currently standing lower than today's opponent Dabrowa. The Legia team looks very good and is in very good form, while from the Dabrowa team one can only expect a fight, but the situation of the Legia team is very good, so it is predicted that they will win.
The Lyon team had a long time to recover and prepare for these matches. Although Vilarbano team has been suffering from injuries for almost the entire season, the core of the team is healthy and knowing the team's situation in the tournament table, the team will not take the game lightly. The players, who are also longing for basketball, must also look good against such a weak opponent compared to the Euroleague team, making it easy to win. In the away game, they won by 19 points this season, so I believe the handicap will be similar or even higher. In the last 8 matches, Gravelines team only won 2, and the last 2 matches were lost with large differences, which shows that we can expect the same in the away game.
Even Real doesn't seem to believe that they can beat Hapoel 4 times in a row in the same season. The Israel team is very solid and persistent, losing only by 4 points in the first game. In the second game, they won by 9 points, so the handicap is not very big. But in the next game, I hope for an even more persistent fight and a better Hapoel. The Israel team still has room for improvement, but the most important thing is that this team is capable of doing it and maybe even evening out the series.
Belgian is often underestimated, even though Zverev is in good shape, but when it comes to the Belgian, he had some really strong opponents who seemed like they could take a scalp from him, but they didn't succeed. The Belgian is known for his experience, but he shouldn't be completely written off, as this young player doesn't seem to care about authorities. He is an extremely aggressive player, with a strong stroke, and can definitely win at least one set and take it to TB, where the element of luck comes into play. In my opinion, the Belgian is being underestimated in general.
This is a much safer game total, but in my opinion, the Frenchman has been underestimated. It's not easy to play against Sinner when your main weapon is serving, but Fill's strength is inhuman and should save him. Although the Italian is good at controlling the pace of the game, he has inferior weapons compared to the Frenchman, but I find it hard to believe he will easily defeat an opponent who is playing their better tennis. I will also try the over 10.5 games in the first set with a very good odds.
Such a much more cautious total of games, but in my opinion, the Frenchman has been underestimated. The fact is, it's not easy to play against Sinner when your main weapon is serves, but still, Fils' strength is inhuman and should save him. Although the Italian knows how to control the pace of the game and has over weapons against the Frenchman, I find it hard to believe that he will easily defeat an opponent who is playing their best tennis.
For now Zalgiris is not like itself, but I see here only the fault of Masiulis, nothing special does the lantern show, and I have no doubt that we will see a completely different picture in Kaunas, because Kaunas will have a different desire to win and to have the second game at home and collect a decent amount of money for the budget of the next season. Zalgiris will have a similar three-point percentage at home as in the regular season and that will be enough for the First, the standings will not be a favour for Zalgiris and I have no doubt that there will still be a fourth game.
Another quite logical choice. Pisa club, with only 5 wins in the series and even losing 9 out of their last 10 matches, will officially be relegated from Serie A after this game. In their last 10 matches, they have only scored 6 goals and have looked very poor in just 3 of those matches. Lecce may not be a better option, but their recent form has not been bad and they have won 2 matches and are fighting to avoid relegation. Therefore, they will have motivation and their recent 1-0 home win against Peru suggests that we may see something similar in this match.
The more successful Aberdeen club, having won all 3 previous confrontations, only managed to win the last 2 matches, but the difference in teams' abilities was noticeable in all matches. With a series of 2 wins, Aberdeen also played in the conference league group stage, where the team did not succeed, but experience and composition are the team's advantages. Starting from August, the first festive match against Livingston, I believe, must end in defeat, and the team's inability to play at this level is just frustrating, so Aberdeen seems like a very confident choice.
