Over (De'Aaron Fox 7+ rezulatyvus Peru) @2.650 8/10
His average is very similar, so the coefficient is definitely quite good for this attempt. The Spurs have a lot of tools, both inside and closer to the basket, where they can feed Wembley and attack defenders. Although Fox likes to play individually and use his speed, this time I think they will look to feed Wembley and utilize his strengths, and at the same time they have a lot of players who can make shots from long distance, which would make Fox's life much easier.
It is unclear why the Spurs basketball players are so underrated, but I am more impressed by the promise of the Spurs, who have a number of young and talented players who can individually lead the team forward in every game. The same goes for Fox, who looks very good and the return to Wembley seems dangerous in both courts. The Knicks have the experience in games of this level, but after beating the OKC players, the Spurs should be in an emotional high and I think it is worth considering the over in Wembley, where Fox, who looks solid, will contribute. Wembley himself also handles situations very well - a complete natural freak.

The Knicks have the experience of playing at this level, but after beating the OKC players, the emotional lift of the Spurs should also be considered. It may be worth considering the over in Wembley, where the impressive Fox will contribute. Additionally, Wembley creates situations very well, a complete natural freak.
NBA CUP Final in a neutral arena in Vegas. Both teams will take these matches very seriously, both NYK and SAS have solid defenses and will defend at full strength. There might be some initial nerves before such an important match... All things considered - perfect conditions for the under.
At the moment, Buducnost seems to be in a good shape, having won by a 30-point difference against London Lions, and previously beating Ulm by 30 points as well. In the last 5 games, they have won 4, which allows them to fight for a better spot in the group. This match is definitely important as their opponent is their neighbor in the standings and they lost their first game against them. I believe they will be motivated for revenge, especially since their opponent is also in a competitive position and will be a tough challenge.
I would hold back if Sociedadas had a good season and a good position in LaLiga, but the situation now is that the cup matches are important in order to achieve something this season. The team lineup is definitely better than the current situation in the tournament table. The results have been poor, there was some improvement, but today we will again play after 3 losses. The opponent is tough and difficult to beat, and a psychologist is needed for Peru.
Cardiff has been in good form lately, and their form is highlighted by their strong offense. However, their defense is definitely not their strong suit, especially considering that they are playing in League One. They conceded 3 goals in their last match against Doncaster. Chelsea also cannot boast a strong defense, but they do have a long bench and rotation options which would make them clear favorites for this match. They will have opportunities to score against such a defense. I don't expect this to be a high-pressure match.
Cardiff has been in good form recently and that form highlights their strong offense, but their defense is certainly not outstanding, especially considering they are playing in League One. They conceded 3 goals in their last match against Doncaster. Chelsea can't boast about a strong defense either, but they have enough depth and rotation on their team to still be clear favorites in this match. It will be an opportunity to break through against such opponents' defense. I don't expect this to be a high-pressure match.
I believe that during the course of the season, this player will be crucial for the team as he has a lot of experience and needs to be adapted to the Euroleague as soon as possible. Today, I believe there will be a productive game and Graham will definitely have his chance. His total points may not be high, but he receives enough shots to cover them.
From Valencia's games, one can always expect a lot of attacks and not much defense. This kind of opponents are very favorable for Vezenkov. Sasha has been blanked by Ghana lately, but I think he is waiting for a recovery game and potentially one of the best games of the season. Valencia's foundation is their defenders, and they don't have anyone serious to throw at Sasha.
Even though Milan doesn't have many players, they are all important. Lorenzo returned and Milan looks completely different after Messina left. Real is not a strong team this season in away games and their gameplay is not convincing, while the team's clothing looks worn out after changing.
There will be no Šaras anymore, without a coach this team doesn't have many chances to function. Osman returns to Pao. A principal rival to Ataman from last year. After the defeat last week, he immediately went to practice, Ataman was angry.
Portugal 2nd league Maritimo has solidified their first place on the table, while Benfica's reserves are at the bottom. Benfica scored many goals, but also conceded quite a few. Maritimo has won almost 2 out of every game away, but they themselves have been scored on at least once in every match, so I think the game should end with a score of 2-1 or even 3-1.
I think the drop in the American coefficient was not in vain. Basavareddy has many advantages against Dino. This is already the second time the American will play in this tournament, while it is the first appearance for Croatia. Prizmic did not finish his last match due to injury and although it is difficult to expect him to be in great physical form, and since flashscore predicts a long fight, I think the American can surprise based on the coefficient. Not to mention that there are often unexpected outcomes and a higher coefficient often wins in tennis. The opening match, in which the experienced American with a very solid coach will face, I believe will be better prepared and in that case has a chance to win the over.
The fluctuating team Tofas, when Trapani finally started playing as they should. With 10 wins in a row, Trapani shows great form and beating Tenerife from Spain and Milan away shows that Turkey should not lose by a large margin.
Two strong teams that enjoy playing offensively. In their first meeting, the teams Peru and 200 points. Now, since the results of the Italian team at home are solid, I think we can expect points.
I am not sure about my colleague's trust in Lietkabelis, who often likes to delegate tasks. In this case, I believe it will be a typical situation. The Panevėžys team did not have many options for Germany during their trip, and now, after so many changes, their performance does not provide confidence. Although Lietkabelis had a couple of better games, it does not seem like a determining factor in trusting them against Rytas now. The Germans are also not in their best form, but it must be acknowledged that in today's context, they are better.
Xavi brought life to Barcelona and their game definitely improved. Clyburn is in good form, the player receives a lot of confidence from the coach and allows himself to take many shots. Paris games are mostly about the backcourt and shooting, but here Clyburn should definitely fit in. Plus, Paris has problems with the four position, as seen last week when Tubelis was dominating. Shengelia will not play either.
Hello.
Euroleague. Hapoel vs Zvezda. Let's go for Over 12.5 points Including Overtime.
Zvezda is realistically without centers. Motiejūnas won't stand a chance against Oturu for sure. And on top of all the other injured centers, there's Moneke with a big question mark. We saw what Tyrique did in the last derby (15 points). Oturu has been in great form all season, but his last 4 games have been particularly impressive. He only scored 6 points against Real (Tavares factor comes into play), but otherwise - 20, 18, and 21 points. They are playing at home and in front of their own fans, so I believe we will see another strong performance from him. Good luck.
Hello.
Euroleague. Dubai against Maccabi. We're betting on Kabengele to score 12.5 points over. Maccabi's centers are really weak. Santos is not a competitor, Sorkin is also a weak center (maybe even a 4 number). They just signed a new center, Hankins, and it's not clear how he will perform (even though he came from Granada). Kabengele is a strong center and after 3 disappointing games, I believe he will do much better, especially at home. If they can avoid quick turnovers, they should dominate under the basket and draw fouls, which by the way, Ghana confidently makes (86.4%). Both teams also like to run and have poor defense, so in these kind of games, players can easily increase their points average. Good luck.
In the second round, Eldesne beat Almeria team playing at home, but now I can no longer see any chances. Real team is not in great form, but with the fired coach, the situation should improve. As usual after a change of coach, the first game is usually successful, and Peru team is also much needed psychologically, so I don't think we will overlook this game.
The Mallorca club, in good form, has already made its mark in the Copa del Rey tournament, winning decisively in the main round, and now they should do the same once again. Despite not playing in Europe, the club uses rotation but still has a fairly strong team to play with confidence. The Deportivo team seems to be doing well in the lower league, but their last two defeats give me hope that Mallorca will have the upper hand in this match.
Hello.
Euroleague. Fenerbahce against Pao. We are facing Turkey teams.
Fener is in great form, winning everything so far. In the previous round, they beat Monaco, and over the weekend they won against Efes. Even though they are missing a player under the basket, the team seems to have rallied and is playing differently. The defenders are phenomenal and doing their job well, and today the Fener big men can cause trouble for centers like Faried. Also, the question mark under the name Nunn doesn't inspire much confidence. Yes, sometimes he drags the team down, but he is still a top guard in the Euroleague. Osman should also return after his injury, but it's also unclear how he will perform. Pao as a team is very unpredictable. They cannot do anything against Zvezda, but they demolish Partizan. In their last two games, they lost at home to Valencia and away to Milan. Also, Šaras always has personal issues with Ataman, and now he seems especially vulnerable.
Good luck.
I trust in Chelsea's strong squad, even with a lot of rotation, this team has a lot of talent and even the substitutes have to strive to contribute more. They are playing against a third league club, which appears solid in their level, but against a team like Chelsea, they won't be able to play their football, so we'll see how Cardiff can adapt to that.
Do not judge me for this appearance, although the weekend was easily handled with the local AeK club in the front, the game shown in Euroleague was very disappointing. The previous week was lost against Olympija, stars are struggling and there is no reinforcement after playing under the baskets.
On the contrary, Fenerbahce experienced a thriller against Monaco on Friday, they were behind by many points, but came back strong in the 4th quarter, won the game and took the victory. Last weekend, they also won against Anadolu Efes after overtime, the players know what they are doing, Saro's team is always well trained and they will not want to lose against Ataman and bring home a victory for Fenerbahce.
We are going with a very small points handicap, wishing for success.
One of the hottest teams, Barcelona, is showing excellent form at the moment. They win everything and confidently beat Olympiacos Ghana last week. The game they play is very pleasing to the eye, I wonder if it can stop Paris' winning streak. They lost to Zalgiris last week, so they'll play without any long combinations, not looking for the perfect shot. Good luck.
We are going to Panevėžys with the Panevėžys Peru team. Our home team needs to win here and has gained good form. On Saturday, we defeated Rytas and maintained our lead throughout the entire game, starting from the first quarter. We also acquired a great new player, Aimaq, in the center position, which was much needed for the Panevėžys club.
They play a good number of minutes, throw their shots. There is a lot of experience in the Euroleague and against such an opponent as Real, it will be needed here. In the past matches against Real, they have had good games, although lately they have had to miss some due to injuries. Real has not been defending well against his position players this season, and Shields should take advantage of this together with the team. They make a lot of 3-pointers, while Real's attackers have missed an average of 2.5 three-pointers in their last 3 matches.
The Parisian team may promise, as evident from their game, but the total here seems very large. With Barcelona improving their defense against Pascal, Oly promised, but there was no cosmic pace there. The Catalonians should slow down the game a bit, especially if they could control the game and the result. The blind attack of the Parisian team in recent times has not yielded any results, and some conclusions should be drawn from their defense as well.
Maccabi is currently in good form and it was possible to see before the season that they will once again be the team that can defeat any opponent in the Euroleague. They seem even stronger as underdogs. The Dubai team has had recent problems and is playing intense games, winning by 1 point against Paris, losing by points against Virtus, and winning by points against Bayern. Maccabi can also provide the same level of competition, therefore this coefficient is worth paying attention to.
Netherlands, cup. It is clear that all the attention is on Eredivisie representatives Heracles, who are experiencing a renaissance after firing their coach a month ago. The team had a 4-game winning streak and a 6-game unbeaten streak until they were stopped by league leaders PSV last weekend, although they did so with great difficulty, with a final score of 4-3. Despite a tragic start to the season in terms of offense, Heracles have managed to defeat 3 league giants from Eindhoven away. Their form is excellent and tonight, 4th league Hoogeveen does not seem like a rival who can stop them. If their attacking efficiency continues, the hosts may well handle such a total by themselves, although their defense has not yet been solid in this good streak, as they have not managed to keep a clean sheet. The opponents may also add something to the mix.
Barca under the new coach started playing a better stretch and has a series of three games in Peru which they will try to extend in Paris. Our opponent was just seen as having a powerful offense and a heavily perforated defense. I believe Xavi Pascual, with his experience, can really refine Paris' team play and not get involved in a "throw and run" match. Therefore, if they can control the pace, Barca is significantly superior to their opponents.
Netherlands Cup, 1/16 stage. Here we have a bet on the Eredivisie leaders NEC, who unexpectedly sit in 4th place and it's mainly due to their very effective offense, which was implemented by the new coach, long known as a big supporter of attacking football. There is no doubt that NEC will also go on the attack against the 3rd league team from the very beginning, and I don't expect major rotations, as for these "smaller" clubs, the cup is very important and they don't spare any effort even in the earlier stages. As for AFC, their defense looks very weak this season, even against teams of their own level, as they haven't been able to keep a clean sheet in about 10 matches, and their offense is what saves them from time to time. I think they can expect at least a goal, as NEC gives these chances to everyone, as they did in the previous stage against another 3rd league team, scoring three times but still being eliminated due to defense (3-2). I think this could be a realistic scenario again today, where everything will be decided by the game at the opponent's goal.
Swiss League, the League Champions are going on a trip to Luzern and I am expecting an over here. This season, Luzern club has played 3rd in terms of performance, scoring 63 goals in just 17 games, averaging almost 4 goals per game. However, they have also conceded a lot, with a goal difference of 17:15 in 8 home games, making it an average of 4 goals per game. Basel team is not known for playing high-scoring games, but they are quite stable at home. However, in away games they tend to concede quite a bit, with 13 goals conceded and scored in 9 games. I believe there will be goals in this match and I expect both teams to score at least 2+ goals.
NBA Cup Final, New York and Spurs are facing a potentially classic game. I am cheering for the Knicks. Despite the fact that the Spurs have defeated the Champions and have shown signs of growth during the Wembley period, I believe it will be difficult for this young team to overcome the tension of the Finals. It is common for the NBA to experience heartbreaking losses before winning a championship, and I do not see this trend changing, as both veteran teams have won the Finals in previous years - the Lakers against the Pacers and the Bucks against OKC. I think it is now New York's time to win something as a team with playoff experience and previous heartbreaks. I do not believe that Wembley will have the same impact as against OKC, as just remembering +20 in the first 7 minutes is impressive, but it still seems that his minutes should be limited in the Finals, from 20 to 32-35 or more seems unrealistic. The Knicks are in good form now, all the players are playing well and their offense is firing on all cylinders, I believe they will win the cup.
Let's try the Punter higher points version. The fact that there will be fast and high-scoring games here, at least for Barca, I believe there will be no problems at all with Paris. Paris is known for their high-scoring basketball, usually bringing in all of their top scorers, but now they have fallen to the bottom of the table, which says it all. The Punter points average has dropped this season, but in 2 out of the last 3 games, he scored 24 points and showed good form, especially when Oly also scored the same 24 points last week. A scorer like him should feel comfortable against Paris, like a fish in water, so why not score 20 again.
Swiss League, bottom accepts the leaders, I'm going with Over. Winterthur is a pityingly struggling team, having conceded 46 goals in just 17 matches, almost 3 goals on average, and while playing at home, they are not much better, able to score an average of 13 goals in 8 matches, which is still a decent score. Thun also scores quite a bit, with an average of almost 2 goals per league, and overall, I think it's more than realistic for them to score at least 3 goals, and the hosts should also be able to score a goal here, as Thun is not known for their sturdy defense.
Although both Peruvian tennis players' form should be similar, the clear favorite for the encounter is the Spaniard. This year, on all three surfaces (hard, clay, and grass), Landaluce, who has won against each other, lost only one set to the Norwegian in three matches. Although their last meetings this season were about a month and a half ago, the Norwegian is coming off a weak performance in three ATP tournaments. Even though the Spaniard is listed as the favorite, the odds and the Spaniard's handicap against the Norwegian should be successful.
I don't believe that Barcelona will remain the underdogs here, they are probably one of the hottest teams in Euroleague right now and are currently in the top 3. Under the new coach, Barcelona has made a strong recovery and no longer looks like the weak team we were used to seeing after Saras left. Now, the team not only stands out for its offensive talent, but their defense also looks fantastic, which was not expected from them. The trip to Paris, where they will face an unusual opponent who plays an exciting type of basketball, may not be easy, but they are still one of the weaker teams in the league. After a good start to the season, the team has lost 8 of their last 9 Euroleague games. I think that if Barcelona can at least slow down their opponent's offense, they can easily beat Paris. The only possible downside is if they become complacent against weaker opponents after playing against Zvezda and Oly, but even then, the odds are still favorable. By the way, Barcelona's away record this season is 5-3, which shows that no matter where they play, the results are still good.
Overall, my weak teams' championship looks promising this year. Despite their lack of experience in the championship, they often rise up to the Premier League. The rest of the teams don't have much chance unless these options occur:
Leicester - I believe they will bounce back, although they have struggled a bit. They still have a strong team and if they don't lose their morale after dropping down to the championship, I think they can definitely fight for promotion this season.
Middlesbrough - A good team in good form, nothing can stop them this season. I think they can definitely promote to the Premier League together with Leicester.
Coventry - Thanks to Lampard's magic, they have a shot at first place. I believe they have good chemistry and can rise to the Premier League, as long as they maintain their form.
In my opinion, these are the only options that can compete for promotion to the Premier league. The rest are either in bad form or good form, but I don't think they will last long. Leicester, on the other hand, is used to the championship and immediately bounces back to the Premier League. They have struggled with injuries in the Premier League but now I see that their players are no longer injured and in good form (sadly, some have left). But their main player, Abdul Fatawu (remember the name), can lead this team if he doesn't get injured. The team still has good players and promising talents, so I think they can continue their tradition.
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.
