I think that Borussia Dortmund has an advantage at home against Atalanta. The Germans play at a high tempo and put a lot of pressure on their opponents at the Signal Iduna Park stadium. In the first match, it is important for them to establish a lead before the return match in Italy. Atalanta tends to play more cautiously away from home, but it's not easy to withstand the pressure in Dortmund for a long time.

I believe that the over 167.5 in this match seems reasonable, as "Nevėžis" often forces their opponents into a more open scenario - their season profile is clear: they score an average of ~82 points, but also allow ~90 points. Recently, "Žalgiris" has also had a higher overall average, and if there will be an over rotation and tightened defense, the pace will naturally increase. 167.5 does not seem like a high barrier to me, especially if "Žalgiris" quickly gains an advantage and the game turns into a more free-flowing points race.

I believe that over 174.5 makes sense here, as both teams play at a high pace and have good offensive averages. In the mutual matches this season, the scores were 92:85 and 96:99 - in both cases the limit was exceeded. Moreover, the trend in recent matches is the same: in games between Juventus and Rytas, there are often around 179-183 total points, so 174.5 seems achievable even if the game slows down at times.

I believe that in this quarterfinal against Latvia, Sweden should dictate the tempo from the first minutes. In the group stage, the Swedes have demonstrated one of the most productive offenses - lots of shots, a high pace, and constant pressure in stretches.

Latvians had difficulties defending for longer stretches without the puck and this can result in consecutive goals against them. The head-to-head history also clearly favors the Swedish side - in the last few championships, they have scored 6-7 goals.

Therefore, a line of over 4.5 Sweden goals seems reasonable, especially if the favorite takes control early and doesn't start playing in a defensive mode.

I believe that in the eighth-finals against Denmark, the Czech Republic has a realistic chance of scoring at least 5 goals (over 4.0). Although the Czechs lost some close matches in the group stage, their offense is strong - especially in the third periods, where they consistently find ways to score 2 goals.

The head-to-head history is also favorable - in the last few World Cups, the Czechs have scored 7 goals against the Danes. Denmark plays an open and fast-paced style in this tournament, and their goalkeeper situation is not stable. Taking into account the depth of the Czech offense and their current form, reaching the 4-goal mark seems achievable, and a fifth goal is a very realistic scenario.

Both teams are in good form, overall the teams meet in great form and I think we should see 3 goals here. At home, Dortmund have a streak of 5 straight wins, in which they have scored at least 3 goals in four of them, and overall they have played very productive matches in the Champions League this season (with a record of 19:17 goals scored and conceded in 8 Group stage matches). Of course, Dortmund will dictate the game in front of their fans, but Atalanta will also have their chances, even after losing Gasperini and Lookman. They are one of the strongest attacking teams in Italy and I believe it will not only be a competitive game but also end with a realistic score of 2-1 in either direction.

WTA Dubai, hard surface.

The Champions League is back and the knockout stage begins. Galatasaray welcomes Juventus in the early match and I think BTS. Gala will give a good fight at home to Juve, as their team is full of talented attackers and in this year's edition of the CL, they have scored against both Liverpool and Atletico at home. Add to that the fact that Juventus' defense has not been in top form, with 9 goals conceded in their last 4 matches, and it seems likely that the Turkish club will make their mark. As for Juve themselves, it's clear that they are the favorites in this match, as under Spalletti they have shown a great attacking game and have been scoring quite often. But they also have some games where they struggle to score, such as their recent loss against Inter. Overall, Juve's performances have been attractive, even when playing with 10 men. Personally, I think a 1-1 or 1-2 result is realistic here.

It seems like such a big deal, this total against the KMT. Some are looking towards the approaching semifinals, while others are already on vacation. Rytas emotionally charged themselves up against Neptunas, but they let chaos reign against Siauliai, which is not their usual style. The referees, facing a lot of criticism, should use their penalties wisely, which should be a lesson for them. Winning the game, the referees should maintain normal contact.

If Aris plays effectively this season, even though they are not powerhouse team, Maroussi is a completely inconsistent team with a strong offense, but undoubtedly the worst defense in the Greek league. In my opinion, only strong offensive teams could have a chance against Aris, because when it comes to defensive basketball, the advantage would be for Aris. Maroussi plays at a high pace, while Aris is not at the bottom of the table in terms of pace.

Since the cup and this format is always more favorable for underdogs, I will try Erokspor. While Fenerbahce is a solid team, not all players are able to prepare for such competitions, many are already thinking about the finals before even qualifying for them. Erokspor has gathered an interesting group of players, including Pangos and Lithuanian player Jermaine Love, as well as Galloway with NBA experience. They play solidly this season and have ambitious goals. I am looking forward to a fierce battle.

Even though they are in the lead, the total score seems a bit small. Turk Telekom is the fastest team in the Turkish league, with a solid offense and defense. But when facing such opponents today, it will be difficult not to get involved in a more productive basketball game. Trabzonspor is a completely offensive team, with their offense only being surpassed by Fenerbahces. They have a good offense, but at the same time a weak defense, which is why they play such high-scoring games.

Challenge Cup, men.. quarter-finals, second leg match. The Belgians at home after a tough battle overcame Peru, against the favorites PAOK from Greece. Today is a different tune.. PAOK - a more solid legion, with experience in the international arena. In the round of 16, the Greeks lost the first away game, but at home they confidently secured a victory (won 3-0). Although the Belgian club is not just "pushovers", today PAOK will do everything at home and will settle things with Peru.

Two identical teams, based on results and promoting attacking and taking BTS here. The teams are separated by 1 point, and both are fighting for a spot in the playoffs, with identical scores/goals scored Wrexham 44 goals and Bristol City 43 goals in 31 matches. However, the number of goals conceded, 39 and 38 respectively, shows that both teams have better attacking skills, but unreliable defenses, so I believe we can at least expect a 1-1 outcome.

I believe that after the Australian Open win, it's been only 2 weeks, Alcaraz might have a memorable hangover. And here, with a server bot, he immediately has to face someone who he played against 4 times before, and I wouldn't say that at least one of those times he didn't completely destroy the Frenchman. The closest was at the US Open where he won 7-6 6-3 6-4 last year, and I had the chance to watch that match and Alcaraz was in his peak form and could cover any set combination with an Over. It is possible to try under 19.5 with a higher coefficient, but I will stick with 18.5, so that there wouldn't be two overs in any set. Even though Carlos is known for that, I think it will be extremely difficult against the Frenchman's serve. It should be a 6-3, 6-4, but I wouldn't be surprised if he could drag at least one set up to a tiebreak. By the way, all 4 times they've played, at least one set went over 7 winning games.

The Dortmund team is very solid at home, while Atalanta's team instability only increases their chances. In the Serie A league, Atalanta is only in 9th place for the points earned away from home, so away games are by no means successful for them, while the Dortmund team is the better home team in Germany and even surpasses Bayern.

This season, Monaco looks particularly bad and even though PSG is not playing as well as last season, the Parisian club still plays very well. Monaco, who is missing many players due to injuries, is a significantly weaker club, while PSG is able to play very well in the Champions League, so they should have an advantage from the first knockout matches.

It is likely that we will see 3 maps and an intense battle. I believe it is probable that PV will win at least one map. Currently, both teams are not in their best form, so there is no guarantee for either team. Parivision struggled against Faze today, they had to come back again. FURIA lost, but they played against a strong team in Falcons, and the battle was intense there as well. Of course, if FURIA plays according to their top form and/or PV has a very bad day, it could end in a 2-0 victory for the Brazilians. But if we rely on the forms of both teams, it should be a close fight. PV's odds are too high.

It's somewhat difficult to watch G2, as they are a top 10 team but lack stability. Of course, it's not easy to constantly be a team, when the riflers are of high level but everyone lacks consistent performance. G2 also has a similar problem to FaZe, where they have a very poor AWPer who doesn't play at a tier 1 level. Logically, based on current form and overall level, G2 should easily handle Heroic, as they did with pain today. I'm just saying, G2 lacks stability at times.

Two teams that have been very productive in recent games. Although the first games in the Champions League knock-outs are not usually very high-scoring, in this match we can expect attacking football from Turkey. Galatasaray likes to attack and often concedes with a weak defense, while Juventus' recent results show that the team is favorable to high-scoring games.

In the 7th place of the tournament table, Žalgiris will face off against Olympiacos, who currently holds the 2nd position.

Žalgiris does not seem stable. The start of the game against Hapoel was solid, but the lead quickly evaporated. The team once again fell into a close and nervous game until the last quarter, even though the opponent did not shine either. Such waves become dangerous against higher level opponents. Many times, Žalgiris loses control of the game and the obtained handicap often slips away in a matter of minutes.

Meanwhile, Olympiacos demonstrates a different style. They rely on discipline, physicality, and patience in controlling the pace of the game. In their last five games against each other, the Greeks celebrated, and the last match last November ended with a 17-point lead in their favor. This is not just a coincidence, but a trend.

In the past ten Euroleague games, the -2.5 point handicap with Olympiacos has only been unsuccessful twice. This not only shows their ability to win, but also their ability to close out the games with a larger lead. Such teams rarely let their opponents make emotional comebacks.

Žalgiris may start the game well and even briefly take the lead. However, their instability as a team, tendency to lose control, and difficulties in maintaining control of the game in close situations raises doubts against an opponent of this level. Olympiacos is a more stable team, and in these kinds of matches, it is typically stability that determines the outcome.

Considering the team's current form, head-to-head statistics, and the offered -2.5 point line, this handicap seems a bit too low to me. In this matchup, the Greeks have clear arguments for their advantage, both statistically and in terms of game quality.

Without going overboard with the bet, I choose Piraeus Olympiacos -2.5.

Dry morning at home Rytas lost to Utena club and now we need to hope for a different face of the Vilnius team. Everyone is realistically healthy and there must be a large focus from the morning against KMT. Utena is a weak team with many problems, which Rytas will exploit and at least win in Utena, although it may seem very good minus.

The weakest team in the league against one of the most interesting. Gargzdai's team may have their own problems, but this season they are showing a very confident game and stability. Good play and serious basketball players make us expect great things from them, as they seem to be superior and also managed to win against Jonava in January.

Hamburg is one of the most successful teams, scoring a lot of points but also conceding a lot. The question is whether they have a solid defense, although they had a better performance in the past. However, Hamburg team is a guarantee for overs. Alba is a strong team with many wins and a good offense, and their previous matches have always resulted in high scores. Therefore, we expect a high-scoring game here as well.

Morning is not even close to its past season's level, but a sad team like Juventus must be defeated before KMT. Rytas lost to Juventus almost a month ago, but I consider it a plus for the bet. It is very difficult for teams of similar level, and especially for overall lower level teams, to do back to back defeats against the same teams. Rytas needs to prove to both themselves and us that those 5 losses were just a relaxation.

Krilavicius did not convince me with his kickboxing skills, poor technique, strikes with great power, often without accuracy. Big strikes also open up gaps in Krilavicius' defense, which even someone like Oskaras Buinickas used in his last fight. For Peru, such moves by Krilavicius and taking risks look favorable. Peru has a very good bank, Krilavicius has not had an opponent with such strikes in UTMOJ yet. I think the odds are worth the risk.

This is simple logic. Misiunas has always beaten Rimkenzo, and surely Misiunas was not in good athletic shape, one fight with Rimkenzo was even after closing. Rimkenzo also beat the same Matiukov, who did not seem very solid. Since then, Misiunas seems to take combat sports more seriously, and also contributed to the return to Sparta Gym.

Zygimantas finally broke through in the UTMA tournament and won against Peru, which was crucial for him psychologically. Until then, it didn't seem like Kiudelis would be poorly prepared for the psychological aspect or that those losses would affect him, but after the last Peru and upcoming tournament conference, it was obvious that he lacked it. He had the maximum self-confidence and even Kiudelis himself intimidated his opponent. Majauskas was a very weak opponent, from what we've seen in UTMA, he definitely doesn't attract professional ringers. Kiudelis had stronger opponents before and had to harden himself.

Bucks leaving the East is a serious possibility, especially with such high odds. Giannis is having another incredible season and it doesn't seem like his form will decline. Ryan Rollins is becoming a great player. Kevin Porter Jr is not yet there, but he will be, and if we don't count his non-basketball related issues, he is a great player. AJ Green is a complete sniper who can make shots in every game. Myles Turner is struggling right now, but he will start making shots soon. The recipe for the Bucks is clear - Giannis is the main man and the shooters are placed around him, and with this team, it's possible to win championships.

The main contenders will most likely be Cleveland, 76ers, and Knicks, maybe even Orlando, but it's disappointing and unclear which of them will rise this season.

The West is very competitive. In the past years, it was not clear who would rank in the top 4 - 11.
The Spurs will still be in the mix, and the Rockets look strong. It's too early to count out the Kings.
Curry is 37 years old, Butler is 36, and Draymond is 35, so the core players are getting older and could potentially face the same injuries.

401 coefficient

First long-term bet for the new full season. Chelsea's coefficient is still over 2, which means they will finish in the Top 4, and I have no doubts about that. Last season, they finished fourth and strengthened their team impressively at the end of the season. It was clear that this young team is a force to be reckoned with, winning two trophies and beating PSG gave them a lot of confidence going forward. So yes, Chelsea will play Champions League football, but in terms of the main competition for the fourth place, I see Newcastle as the main rival and I don't think they have strengthened enough to challenge for it. As for the other teams, United and Tottenham? United have made too much progress in just one season and Tottenham have a lower level than Chelsea, plus they are also in the Champions League. Aston Villa seems destined for relegation and I don't see any other contenders. Overall, I believe Chelsea is closer to joining the top three of Arsenal, Manchester City, and Liverpool, rather than fighting for the Top 4 spot, which I don't see them achieving in the upcoming Premier League season.
