Another decent bet, I think, in the French battle where my favorite Herbert is being underestimated. He looked great in the Italian challenger where he unexpectedly lost to an Italian, even though he had the chance to close out the match in two sets with 3 match points, but somehow inexplicably failed and ended up losing the third set. Despite Herbert making mistakes, Italy managed to avoid them practically all game and looked great according to their abilities, gaining form and choosing tournaments wisely without forcing themselves to participate consecutively.

The coefficient is nonsensical in every sense, as far as I can remember from last year, the surface in Morocco was very slow, many complained about the quality. Of course, they may have improved after numerous complaints, but it should be favorable for Fognini. Although Fognini is still far from his normal game, the maximum coefficient should be 2, no matter how it looks, and I believe it is possible to catch it as I did with Chile and calmly make a profit. The Belgian player is certainly a good challenger player, and I think it is not far off that he will try something more serious in the ATP, but overall, Fognini, no matter how out of form he may be, I believe he is capable of surprising on such a slow surface, and getting such a coefficient is absurd.

2-0 and it seems that Telšiai will close the series. Although in the previous two group stages Palanga looked better, when it came down to the important matches, Telšiai showed their strong backbone. Their solid and important composition, along with a long series, allows Telšiai to play well and avoid pitfalls that occur in almost every playoff game for Palanga. I believe that the series will be closed after Telšiai's win in Palanga, even though Palanga's veterans have always been unpredictable. They do not have a lot of strength and do not have any significant chances in terms of gameplay against the powerhouse home team of this season.

Metiz is on a streak and looks quite good, even overtaking the bb team. There are some star players in the team, just like Hamp. Plopsk, I believe, should make it to the finals. Unlike Aurora, Metiz is currently not showing such results and there are not as many star players in their team.

The Saudi Arabia Cup is currently being played by the Saudi Arabia team Ittihad with Benzema in a strong match against Shabab, who are considered to be average in strength. Currently in first place in the league, Benzema's club is dominating and has a 4 point lead, having also defeated Hilal in the previous round of the Cup. The team's superiority is clearly visible. In just one game, anything can happen, but in such serious matches, established leaders like Benzema show their full class.

In the semi-finals of the Polish Cup, 4th league team Pogon will face 14th league team Puszcza. In this season of the Polish league, Pogon celebrated a 2-1 victory at home against Peru and should now continue their success in the cup. Puszcza, who are a lower league team, have weaker abilities, although they play at home and the ball is round, but it must be recognized that they are significantly weaker than Pogon. Pogon also perform well in away games. Therefore, it is safe to say that Pogon have the advantage of playing at home, but against a much weaker team, it is expected that they will achieve victory at both home and away games.

The first semifinal match of the Italy Cup

Empoli, fighting for survival in the Serie A league, unexpectedly advanced to the semifinals, where I believe they will fall. The Bologna club, in great form and confidently competing, is a very serious opponent at the moment. Although both teams have drawn 1-1 in the league twice this season, they did not show their superiority against each other, but Bologna has now reached its peak with a sudden jump to 4th place in the Italian league. Although Empoli has eliminated several giants in Italy (Torino, Fiorentina and Juventus), we know how teams like these perform in these stages, but when it comes to the semifinals there will be no room for relaxation, so we can expect good, typical football from Bologna.

KHL. Quarter-finals.
Series 2:0 dominated by "Salavat", with a total score of 15:2 in favor of the home team. There is no reason to believe that the Siberians will recover in their own arena - the gap between these teams is too big. Especially since the Novosibirsk skaters typically only manage to defeat the Ufa team on away games, while often losing in front of their own fans.

In the second game of the series, "Sibir" scored two quick goals, but had no chance of maintaining their lead: Ufa equalized the score during the same period and went on to score six more goals by the end of the game.

The Memphis season is crumbling, the defense looks weak and the team is struggling against the elite of the league. The Celtics, on the other hand, arrive in top form and possibly without any serious losses. They have been impressive on the road with a record of 31-7, and currently have 7 consecutive wins away from home with 6 of those wins being by double digits. It is worth mentioning that Boston rarely faced top teams in Memphis, so I believe they will have extra motivation to seek revenge in this game.

The Kings are pitiful, having lost 5 out of 6 games recently and both of their defeats were without putting up a serious fight. They are coming here after a 30-point loss to the unstable Magic team in Orlando. Indiana is a much more quality basketball team, difficult to handle at home, but you won't find many flaws in their losses to Lakers and Thunder. The Pacers are strong at home, having recently won 8 games in a row. I don't see any hope for the Kings with their defense, even though their lineup looks good on paper. I am even anticipating a crushing defeat at home.

Experienced 30-year-old and very stable J. Thompson (ranked 37th in the ATP) meets with the young 21-year-old American Quinn. A true hard-court specialist and a strong competitor, Australian Thompson is a well-known face in this tournament, having participated in it every year since 2018. While he may not have made it to the semifinals in this tournament, he is always a dangerous opponent for any serious tennis player, and is certainly too much for the young American to handle. Although Quinn has a good record of 19 wins and 9 losses on hard courts this season, his positive statistics only include challenger tournaments, and he has no chance against a strong opponent. In my opinion, the odds are quite high, as Thompson is coming off a successful tournament in Miami, while the young American was humiliated in the same tournament by the 129th ranked Schoolkate with a score of 6-0, 6-2. As this is the first match between these two players in this tournament, we should trust the experience and significantly better skills of Thompson from Peru.

City Peru needs to secure their spot in the Top 4 and this is a great opportunity to capture calm games. Leicester is tragic, the coach does not make any changes even though they not only fail to achieve positive results, but are also consistently beaten by practically everyone. At home, the City team has scored over 3 goals per game (29 in 9) in the past 2025, so I expect a score of 4-0 here.
