On average scoring 96.5 points, Valencia is hosting a solid Unicaja team, who will not have an easy time even at home. With an average of 87.9 points, Unicaja has been playing successfully recently and is in good form, so a good game can be expected from them. Being at home, Valencia will control the pace and gameplay, which will result in high scoring, and Unicaja has managed to reach this line in 5 out of their last 6 games, including their first encounter with each other.
Seven consecutive losses do not inspire confidence in the Omega team, and with the last 6 losses being greater than the given line against Vytis, I believe one of the league's favorites should win. Sūduva won by 28 points at home, and now Omega team, at home, will face the second-placed Vytis. Šakiai team often plays home games in Kaunas, and a 12-point handicap at home this season gives me hope that this negative result will be successful.
We'll see how the newcomers will fare, but I believe that Gargždai should dominate with an aggressive morning basketball. Recently, Gargždai have only struggled against lower-ranked teams, while Žalgiris, Neptūnas, and Juventus have all been successful against newcomers. Therefore, I think we can expect a safe game in the morning. With 26 home wins, I am hoping for at least 15 away wins.
If the Swiss making it to the semifinals is considered normal, then the Belgians seem very unexpected here. The Belgians have their own advantages, but with Wawrinka nearing the end of his career, I believe he has a great chance of winning, and Bencic is a strong favorite to beat Mertens. Doubles are doubles, but I see the Swiss as having the advantage here, so I think this coefficient is worth paying attention to.
The final, in which Martinez is significantly superior. Throughout the whole tournament, the Spaniard looked very good and had no problems with serving, and he is able to win his opponent's serves. He is strongly ahead of almost all other players and now in the final he will face the most serious player in the tournament, who is ranked 235th in ATP. Skatov is also a clay-court player, so he is not very strong on this surface, and when the levels are evenly matched, Martinez's significant experience will help him successfully close the tournament.
Even though they are different level teams, writing off Blackpool's chances in the attack would not be wise. Ipswich is one of the favorites to compete for a spot in the Premier League, with a solid form and an impressive offense. Blackpool had been in great form in League One until their last two matches, where their defense faltered, but they still managed to find the back of the net. Ipswich plays a great game at home and recently their matches have not ended with less than 3 goals, even against tougher opponents.
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.
Challenger Canberra, Australia, women's final... According to the papers, this is a one-hundred and twenty-fifth caliber tournament. Joana G. (24 years old) from Taiwan, this season, on this type of surface, still has finals to come, as this is a tournament for the rising level). Twenty-two year old Polina K. from Uzbekistan, in her improved version, has flawlessly reached this stage of the tournament. Although her stability is still developing, today at this tournament she is without any criticism.
The principled battle for Zalgiris, if lost at home, would be a huge disappointment for fans, so I believe there will be a serious conversation between the coach and the players before this game. Just like Zalgiris, Zvezda does not demonstrate consistent gameplay, so they are an opponent that can be defeated today. I believe Masiulis will make conclusions about rotation and Cisco will be the most productive player among the green ranks. I also hope for less playing time for Ulanovas and no decline in performance from the bench. Let's hope the coach understands this and plays Peru.
I am seeing a game with the Suns today, the underdogs at home against the Knicks team that finally bounced back as I expected against the Clippers, but it will be much harder here. The Suns have been one of the most surprising teams this season, with a great improvement in every game and now winning 8 out of their last 10 matches. They have also been playing very well at home, with 4 consecutive wins, including a victory against the OKC. Overall, they have a solid record of 12-5 at home this season. On the other hand, the Knicks have not been performing well on the road this season, with a record of 7-9. They have not been able to have exceptional performances against weaker teams on the road. Losing Hart will be a big loss in this game, as they will be facing a very active team and it will be a tough battle. Not having their main fighter will be a huge disadvantage.
