The task for City is clear, they have a 3 goal deficit after the first game and there is no goal to draw or save. Real surprised many in the first game, considering their injuries and fluctuating form, not many expected a 3-0 result, although it could have been even more. Pep's team's formation and choice of players in that game caught the eye... for example, leaving a player like Cherki on the bench was unforgivable. City must push a large number of players forward from the start, as Real will have a lot of space to attack if they take possession of the ball. And everyone knows that Real is not a team that plays defensively. It is great to see goals from both teams.

The Norwegian fairy tale continues further, this time they are going to Portugal with 3 goals scored against Peru, which will make it difficult for them to lose based on their current game. Sporting no longer has a place to retreat, as they must score 3 goals from the first minutes to conquer the opponent's goal. Something similar happened with Bodo a couple of weeks ago, in the first match against Inter they won 3-1, while in the second match against Italy they dominated and had 30 strikes, which led to 16 corner kicks. Although the underdog is important to note, during the last group match away from home, Bodo managed to draw against Atletico Madrid, which led to 12 corner kicks for the home team.

The team from Dubai, after returning to the team after injuries and finding their rhythm, looks quite impressive. The EuroLeague has recorded a series of 5 wins and is very close to securing a spot among the top 10 teams. On the other hand, Partizan is not competing for anything at the moment, so I believe their attitudes and forms will differ and currently, Dubai is showing better form, so we can expect them to win.

In order to secure a spot in the World Championship, Brazil needs to win against China, which has already secured its place. Although the Chinese team is very strong, I believe that given the circumstances and the importance of the match, it is possible to overcome such a handicap.

Australia no longer has anything to fight for, but in order for Canada to secure a spot in the playoffs, they need to win. Canada has been playing in this selection round with ups and downs, but after weaker matches, they would come back with a positive response. The question is what motivation Australia will have, but even against a highly competitive team like Australia, Canada should have a chance.

Kačinas and the cup winners Trefl continue to reap victories against Peru's national team, while Gdynia's team continues their poor streak. The series of losses and poor form from Gdynia do not inspire confidence, but Sopot's team looks very strong and their odds seem to be taken.

Not a single win this year and already 11 consecutive losses - Jarry's statistics in tournaments continues to decline. The experienced Chilean has never shone on hard courts, and his current solid opponent is a clear favorite who I believe will prove it. The good tennis shown by the Italian suggests that there is no better choice than to bet on him.

Local and experienced McDonald played quite well in the previous Indian Wells tournament and now starts again from qualifications. Defeating the Spaniard Mackenzie five days ago, he seems to be a clear favorite in the upcoming match, with a high chance of winning. Experience and greater skill, just like the home turf, I believe will bring victory for the American from Peru.

The interesting thing about this Derby is that according to the table, they still have a chance to fight for 6th place and a spot in the playoffs. Meanwhile, the Portsmouth team is battling to avoid relegation, currently showing poor form with only 1 point in their last 4 matches. They also don't have a strong home record, having only collected 22 points in 18 matches. Derby is not showing the most stable form, but they definitely look better than the hosts, with 4 wins and 4 losses in their last 8 matches. There's no real difference between these teams when playing at home or away, but Derby is one of the better away teams in the league with 5 away wins. So, it's safe to say that they could take the points in this match. I'm going for the safer bet of 0-0 in case the game ends in a draw.

The essential thing is that these teams are fighting for survival and only 1 point separates them and the relegation zone. Fiorentina may not be doing well in the league, but they are a good team that is superior to both of these teams. A successful game in the conference league and a strong determination to compete against their opponents lead me to believe that Fiorentina will come out on top.

The Wolves game and results have turned upside down and although the team is still in 20th place, their ability can now be attributed to solid mid-table teams. The Brentford team will clearly play as the top number at home, but we have not seen domination from this team lately and since mid-January, this team has not been able to celebrate even with a 2 goal handicap. The fluctuating home team results and the good form of the Wolves show that the fight should be serious.

It is necessary for Zalgiris to take the win here, because the situation in the tournament table is becoming difficult, Real is in good form, while the form of Zalgiris' leaders is a bit lacking, but Real has had many matches at home, and they are not as strong in away matches. This is the main argument for the home court advantage. Live or die, the game is crucial for Zalgiris in maintaining at least the 7-8th spot in the tournament table.

In the first game, it was fairly evenly matched, but Peru celebrated over the Hungarians. Braga is playing well this year and the team is capable of defeating the Hungarian club at home. The question is, will they be able to advance to the next stage? However, it is very likely that they will reach Peru.
