I believe it's time to once again demonstrate the level of the Paphos team according to Champions League standards. Yes, Monaco is not a super club, but I think they have the capability to compete confidently. Monaco, with their young team and ambition, are able to appear very competitive in the Champions League. Although their form may not be the best, Monaco are the clear favorites for this match.

Real and Mbappe in the attacking line like to crush weaker opponents, and even though the Frenchman was injured, he played over the weekend, so I believe he will also play and try to score. I do not have confidence in the Greek club, even though they are playing at home and both Arsenal and Barcelona confidently defeated Olympiacos at home, so Real should do the same away.

Even Eintracht beats German club standards and lets in a lot of goals, and it is not uncommon to see a 7-goal thriller in their matches. Atalanta, although an Italian club, also knows how to score and concede, and the match against Frankfurt must be played with a fast-paced and productive style.

Xavi Hernangomez brings freshness to the team, although he is currently struggling and gets little playing time. Nevertheless, he is a perfect opponent for this game. Especially considering that whenever he is on the court, he is always fed with the ball. Asvel's front line is not very active, and Vautier gets a lot of time, which a player like him simply needs to take advantage of.

There won't be Ayton and everything is said about that. Luka hasn't been able to grab rebounds so far, in order to gather a triple-double, because Ayton has been collecting many balls. He won't be here today, so I'm expecting a stable triple-double from Luka. He confidently collects assists lately.

Although according to the tournament table it is a fight for the 2nd place in the Euroleague. If Olympiacos is not surprising, Zvezda's presence at such a level raises my eyebrows. It was a very good period for the Serbian club, but as usual, everything ends for a team of such strength. Although comparing the battles of the ABA league is not very relevant, even there Zvezda has been having problems lately. The only downside to a bet is Olympiacos' focus or occasional stumbles, but the team looks very strong and I believe they have an advantage in every position. Although it is an away game, I find it difficult to expect any result other than a victory for the Greek club.

German DEL...host team this season, poor results, lack of stability, often getting "torn apart" by other teams, looking for optimization...but, today I believe there is a chance for the Augsburg guys to hang on to the leader, this season is inevitable on the road) to score, and in general the "underdog" label does not suit them, they are a team with character.

Baskonia's offensive team, however, forgot that Zalgiris comes from a good defense. Baskonia will not have Marcus Howard in their ranks, so there will be no three-point shots into the green basket. Baskonia has handicaps in their offensive games and Masiulis understands this, so without a doubt, he will place his bet on defense. 170 points for both teams is a very generous number.

Let's try to go with Lo points, a few over more than the given total. I'm playing this half of the season with Lo and already earning double-digit points. However, this upcoming match after two very poor performances is a chance for him to play better, taking into account his experience and abilities on the court. The opponent is also favorable, as the Baskai team has struggled against Peruvian players throughout the season and no PG/SG has managed to score against them. I believe Lo should be able to get some minutes, we just have to make our shots count.

Well, I wouldn't say that Marseille's dogs are here today. Home handicap has its influence, especially in the CL, but overall this season I would say that Marseille is not inferior to Newcastle. This year, Newcastle has had very poor away performances, with only 1 draw against Belgian team Union SG, and currently on a 3-game losing streak against average PL teams. Marseille seems to have recovered after a tough 2-week period, but they have only lost once in front of their fans this season.

Hapoel is looking great this year, they are the leaders of the league with a record of 9-3, and only 1 loss at home for the entire season. They will be facing Real Madrid, who have been struggling this season and have not been playing well, especially when away from their home court. Their previous game against Zalgiris was not convincing and required the intervention of referees. Real has only managed 1 victory away from home this Euroleague season, so I believe it will be very difficult for them to offer any competition against the strong Hapoel team in their current state.

We will take advantage of Copenhagen's angular superiority against Kairat. I was a little surprised by the proposed line of -1.5 handicap in the middle. It's hard for me to imagine how the team will play their matches 100% after such long periods, but that distance is a bit of a coincidence, especially with the Kazakhs being in the Champions League at the moment. But for other clubs, it's just a small hurdle and they can just forget about it, while Kairat always has to go through such distances on away games. It will definitely have an impact. And looking at the statistics, they easily give away corners in away games. In the qualifiers against Celtic, it was 15-3 on away corners, then against Sporting 8-3, and against Inter 9-3. Losing corners with big numbers, I don't see what could have changed there.
