Zalgiris - Bayern Munich

Perhaps it's with belief that Valencia cannot maintain such good gameplay throughout the entire season. Especially at the moment, the team seems a bit injured, with 3 losses in their last 4 games, and now they are facing an even stronger opponent. Vezenkov is back in the lineup, defenders have recovered from injuries, and Olympiacos now looks like the team that can defeat the Spaniards away.

The risk is not small, as Olympiacos knows how to step up when needed, but Valencia also knows how to maintain a quick pace. I am not very convinced that Valencia can fall into a hole when they have consistently demonstrated an impressive tempo throughout the season, especially when Olympiacos also has a strong pace. This game is important for both teams, one fighting for the top spot and the other fighting to stay out of the relegation zone.

Earlier this season, Olympiacos suffered a loss against Valencia at their home court, and now the situation could potentially end up the same with a lot at stake. However, Olympiacos will surely not want to lose again, as it could greatly affect their position in the standings. Valencia has a tough schedule ahead, making it difficult for them, but considering their ability to dictate a fast pace, they must focus on gathering their strength at home against any opponents.

I am taking a risk, but I believe that both teams will bring a strong tempo and determination to the game.

Valencia's form has dropped recently. They lost to Real Madrid and Tenerife. Then at home they lost to a struggling Barcelona. Among themselves, Valencia beat Olympiacos this year, but under these circumstances, it is possible that there will be a rematch.

After the injury, Punter is currently very unstable, but every other game with a points scoring of 9, 27, 7, 17 and 3 points, taking into account the 5 games played. After such a performance, I really believe that this player will bounce back and become the top points leader, averaging 15.2 points per game in this Euroleague season. Even in tough games like the one against Valencia, where a win is a must, I believe we will see a better version of Punter, just like after every tough game lately.

Oly starts off strong and is competing for first place in the standings and facing a relatively weaker opponent in the playoffs. Currently, Oly has recorded 4 wins out of the last 5 games and has defeated teams like Feneris and Pao. Meanwhile, Valencia suffered a couple of losses against Spanish giants. The upcoming game is important for both clubs, and in their first encounter, Valencia came out victorious. Therefore, I believe Oly will be motivated to seek revenge.

I am rooting for both Greek teams here, Valencia seems to have fallen into a deeper pit and Oly is not the opponent you can hope to climb out of that pit against. In terms of tournament standings, these are crucial matches, as both teams are direct competitors for higher places and Oly's victory over Perú would increase their lead over them. Valencia's losses to Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Tenerife only prove that the club is not playing at their usual level. Oly's recent wins against Barça and leaders Fenerbahçe indicate an improvement in their game when it is most needed at the end of the season.

Rarely does a match take place where Valencia is not considered the favorite in their own home. They run inhumanly at home, everyone has played together, at a similar level and there are no big egos, so I hope for their victory against Peru. The huge gap between the teams may cause them to become complacent and make mistakes. It will be difficult for the veterans to keep up with the inhuman pace of Spain. The Greeks are comfortably seated at the table, so the Spanish will need to be more aggressive against Peru.

One of the favorite Martinique heights, recently extended agreement. It is full of holes and, although it is soft, it should be important when pulling out golden heights from under the shovel. Valencia defenders find it, as the ball moves commendably with them. The total has dropped somewhat recently due to weaker matches, but it should rise because there is no rubber rotation of heights.

Direct opponents meet for the top 6 spot. Both teams are in excellent physical form and we can expect tough matches, just like in the first ones, where Real won the representatives of Israel by just one point. The main argument for this bet would be that, due to security reasons, the decision was made to play the match without fans, so the home field advantage becomes minimal. Remembering the past, playing in an empty arena often had a negative impact on the home team. Well, it seems that the odds for this situation have not been taken into account very much.

Direct competitors meet for the top 6 spot. Both teams are in great athletic form and we can expect intense matches, just like the first ones where Israel representatives were defeated by a one-point difference. The main argument for this bet is that, for security reasons, it was decided to play the matches without any spectators, making the home factors minimal. Remembering the times of fierce battles, playing in an empty arena often had a negative impact on the team playing at home. Well, one could definitely find value in this coefficient, as it doesn't seem like this situation has been given much consideration.

Hapoel continues to rely solely on Overtimeuru and Motley, the latter of whom has not even been clear whether he will play in the previous matches. Both are without height, so Real should not only take advantage of Tavares' height, but also try to gather rebounds from the opponent's centers. Tavares should make good use of his height here by taking rebounds, as Hapoel has been among the top 3 teams in the last 3 rounds in terms of allowing opposing centers to rebound.
