Although it is not recommended to take points away from Newcastle, 2 solid away wins in a row give hope for a positive result from the English club. Qarabag's strength was finally shown when they were crushed 6-0 by Liverpool at home. The English club is significantly stronger and with their mentality being at its peak during knockout rounds, we can expect success from the English team.

Although the Norwegian club is only based on goal scoring, a slow game is expected against Italian Inter. Inter controls the game almost against every team, so a calmer game is expected, especially when in recent years the first elimination matches have had low scoring. Bodo doesn't have a normal form, so I expect a tough match with a low number of goals.

In this season of the Champions League, we have already had a match between these teams in Greece, where the score ended 2-0 in favor of the Greeks. However, according to xG, Bayer should have scored 2-3 goals, so the Greeks won't be lucky a second time. Bayer doesn't seem as strong this season as usual for German clubs, as they tend to play an attacking style of football and concede goals. Therefore, I believe we will see goals from both teams.

Romanian Cup Final

Although two strong Romanian teams are facing each other, Cluj's dominance in Romania is greater than that of Zalgiris in the LKL, which says a lot. Even though Oradea, which was eliminated from the FIBA Eurocup, does not have the same roster as Cluj, who are even among the top teams in the ABA league, it is certain that they will celebrate the victory with a significant margin.

Two strong performances from one of the best teams in Germany show that Wurzburg is back in form. The recent Lowen team, even at home, is far from being as capable as Wurzburg. Having broken their streak of 7 losses, Lowen should once again be defeated. In Europe, Peru must be taken more seriously and played with greater determination in the league.

Finally, we have a normal line-up again when Žalgiris plays. Now that we don't have to play in the Euroleague, we can expect better performance and dominance from Žalgiris in the LKL. The Kėdainiai club will be missing one of their leaders and it's time to defeat a weak LKL team, and Žalgiris is in a very favorable position in this situation.

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.

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.

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.
