It would be extremely difficult to predict the winner between teams of similar level. There is no most productive team in the league, but they are capable of scoring goals. Last season, Lecce played very productively at home, but this season they have a weak defense. Similarly, Cagliari also seems to have not improved their defense since last season. Teams with limited offense and weak defenses are likely to concede goals here.
PSV did not manage to overcome, even though Roda was a very favorable opponent for goals. There were many chances, an open enough game, but when you don't take advantage of chances, that's how it goes. Matches at home are more favorable for the opponent. Roda has a solid offense, but lacks efficiency in finishing chances. The visitors have a good defense, but can score goals.
I am once again looking forward to the Besiktas match, as our team has been playing poorly on the offensive side. We have changed our coach, but it will take time for our defensive game to improve. We missed many opportunities against Basaksehir in the first half. Today's away game against a solid opponent will be challenging defensively. Goztepe may not be the most favorable team for overs, but they can score goals, especially against such a weak away defense.
I believe that an American of high tension can offer, however he is not as stiff of a player as he may seem. Aleksandar can be dangerous both in serving and in knocking down, it's just a question of how his current form looks like, I haven't seen him play for a while, which also raises some doubts. Speaking of the Frenchman, he has definitely added to his game this year and continues to progress, he had some good runs in America on hard courts, so I am basing my prediction that he will triumph in three sets.
Two teams that have direct explosive attacks meet, two of the best attacking teams in the league overall and both hot. The Ravens scored a total of 40+ points against both the Bills and the Browns, while the Lions, after a poor first match against the Packers, who are likely the better defensive team now, only allowed 52 points against the Bears. Of course, both teams have strong defenses, but their attacking talent is out of this world and I believe that both will score a significant amount of points, both in the air and on the ground. We will most likely see a so-called shoot out, where both teams could possibly score over 30 points.
Where in Siauliai, usually the Overiai are playing, of course not as strong as when playing at home, but they are playing with Dainava who is known and scores a lot. Siauliai has 2 main scoring teams in the A League, together with Hegelmann, but the defense of Overiai often concedes goals, ignoring teams like Riteriai and Dainava. So the home team should contribute to the total score. Furthermore, Dainava has recently scored in at least 6 out of the last 7 matches. Both matches were goal-filled in the last season, with scores of 3-1 and 2-1. Siauliai will be looking for something similar and I am excited about it.
Despite not shining in friendly matches, our Jasikevičius-led Fenerbache was one of the strongest contenders in last season's EuroLeague playoffs. However, this year Zvezda seems significantly weaker. Neither their game nor their roster appears very competitive. On the other hand, Fenerbache is already at full strength and, although we'll see who takes the court, the Turks seem like strong favorites who are expected to win.
The first official match of this season, and it is also played in the UEFA Champions League qualifiers. It is played against Bulgaria, so even the teams that have been struggling to accumulate points will not have the home advantage. The match will take place at an unusual time, and neither the Romanians, who are considered favorites, nor the Belgians, who are not a very strong attacking team, should have many points.
The Forest is facing a crisis at the moment and with the new coach, their start is simply terrible. They had no resistance against Arsenal and later lost 2-0 to Championship's Swansea in the Cup. It is clear that it will take time for Postecoglu to make a difference, and it is uncertain if it will happen at all. The club is in a downward spiral and only time will tell how it will play out. However, it is evident that at this moment, Forest is not my favorite to win against the newly promoted Burnley, who have shown their strength at home this season. They have had a good start, beating Sunderland 2-0 and only losing to champions Liverpool in the last few minutes. It is worth noting that even Manchester United conceded a goal in the 97th minute to lose. I believe taking a 0 handicap bet with good odds for the home team is a wise choice, as worst-case scenario would result in a refund, but I think Burnley will come out on top here.
Kanavi will be the standout player of this series, but one player is not enough, TOP team is very disappointing, making many mistakes, Anyone's Legends had a poor start to the playoffs, but they play better and better as time goes on, I think it will be 3-2 in favor of AL.
Through my eyes, the high coefficient, the Lietkabelis summer work is definitely neutral, with the return of Morris and Kullamae, but only because they had poor seasons. All other players are unimpressive, there will definitely be losses both for Rubstavicius and for Ukraine. Meanwhile, Neptunas looks good, they could surprise with Petrauskas. In the lineup, the sharp forms of Velicka and Lomazs are really crucial, which should be useful at the beginning of the season.
