Even though Bologna, going through a difficult phase, has only won 1 game out of 7 this year, the team is capable of playing against very strong teams. This is a great opportunity for the team to redeem itself and successfully finish the group stage. With only 1 point from Maccabi's side and 19 goals conceded, it is clear that this club is too weak for such a level of championship this season. Bologna is fighting for the TOP 8 and in order to achieve that, they need a victory. It is worth expecting a sure win when playing against complete underdogs with an extra motivation, as is typical in European tournaments.

Either I don't know something, or this is complete absurdity. About two months ago, this handicap may have been realistic, when there was no Limouzin yet, Lindstrom was injured, and Toulouse could barely score 60 points, but now this handicap is far too large. Toulouse finally won with a full lineup 3 out of the last 4 games and also defeated Lille at home 70-65, and in the last game against Chartres, Peru scored 28 points.
In Lille's squad, Palenikova was sick and did not play against Bourges on the 24th day.
The game was moved from the first round because Lille played in the European Super Cup, but I couldn't find any information that someone couldn't play because of this rescheduling.

The Milan club, in its modest form, welcomes Partizan at home just in time when the Serbian club has been struggling. The team was doubted, but their composition is actually not bad, and now with confidence, Partizan is going to Italy with high hopes, so it seems that they will be safe.

Although only the top 5 and 10 teams in the league are competing in terms of efficiency, very high numbers in offense (88.9 and 87.1 on average) show the teams' ability to collect points. Spain's team has already scored 187 points and it is very likely that we will see a similar performance from Greece. Olympiacos has already achieved this total in 6 out of their last 7 games, while Barcelona has a streak of 3 games. Both teams have strong offensive abilities and are used to playing a high-scoring basketball, so I expect a high number of points.

PSG is hosting Newcastle and I'm taking Peru as well, even though the odds are not great, I believe a win is guaranteed. PSG knows how to play against such teams when they need to win, and for Peru it is important to secure a spot in the Top 8, as a draw may not be enough. This season, Newcastle is not a particularly strong team, they are very unstable and dependent on their home game. When playing away, it is very rare for them to achieve a favorable result, so it's not expected that anything will go well for Paris. Also, Newcastle has been performing poorly against strong teams this season, based on their results.

There is no need to analyze much here, Real needs a result to secure their place in the top eight and even if they are 2 points above, not playing and losing could cost them the top 8 spot, and although they could probably get there with equal results, I think they will go for Peru. Real has recovered now, with 3 wins in a row, the last two of which were great 6-1 victories against Monaco and on the road against Villareal. Now they face an old friend, Mourinho, and his Benfica team, which has nowhere to go but to win. Benfica usually plays poorly in big games, even on their home turf, they just can't seem to catch a break. The fact that they need to win will create openings in their defense which Real should be able to exploit, giving them an advantage for the Peru game.

Australian Open, women's doubles, quarterfinals. The last day of the tour's competitions, a real treat for the viewers, especially since the court will be occupied by local faun representatives - Kimberly B. (27 years old) and Talia G. (21 years old). These brave girls have come a long way in this tournament. But... today they will face the former Top 10 participants, Japanese Emma Sh. (27 years old) and the oldest player in the tournament, Vera Z. (41 years old) from Russia. The latter, having regained her form, is determined to end her career with a memorable achievement. It's understandable that the locals would root for them, but the barrier is too high for them here.

Furthermore, the remarkably surprising Gaubas is playing very well on the hard court and is already a strong competitor in the second consecutive tournament. Gaubas is set to face his opponent Ferreira, who was already defeated by Lithuania in both 2025 and 2024 on clay. In his current great form, Gaubas has been able to beat many opponents who are significantly stronger than Portugal. The only player to beat Ferreira this season was Bolivia's tennis player, who was able to make 38 unforced errors. It's not realistic to expect such a result from the 2nd ranked player, just as Peru's Vilius shines brightly.

A successful tournament in Egypt and getting used to the surface of this tournament, and after going through the qualifiers from the Butvil side, everything seems good before the match with Mrva. In the previous season, Lithuania even managed to win against Czech Republic on clay, and now they will try to repeat the result against Mrva on their favorite hard court surface. Edu lacks stability, but currently he is in good form and confident in himself, and it is difficult for anyone to play against Lithuania, especially for an eighteen-year-old, so the odds seem quite high for our team.

I believe that Unicaja, who looks quite strong, will prove their superiority. In this season, Unicaja confidently won 22 points against the veteran team, Peru, at home in the ACB league. Juventut is an interesting team, but led by veterans, they do not seem as a very serious opponent for Unicaja even at home. Unicaja, aiming for their third title, realistically will not lose in the championship league, so I continue to hope that the streak will continue.

Greece is very difficult to play or even the most difficult in Europe. AEK has a very strong team this season and it is evidenced by their results and 6 consecutive wins and a clear victory in their Champions League group. Although it is not worth mentioning about the great AEK players, an important and noteworthy thing is that Nunnally is returning to the team. Having already played one game, James should now play more and clearly better. Alba is hard to predict and has weakened since the Euroleague times, and although the team's results are serious, they tend to struggle against weaker opponents, and their results are rarely positive when facing a serious challenge.

Perhaps statistically, these teams do not excel in the European Cup in terms of productivity, but they are capable of collecting solid numbers in their offense. The leaders of their group, Bourg, currently have 4 consecutive victories, and in these matches, they have scored a total of 96 points, with only 3 periods remaining and 19 overall points. The German club, as usual for clubs in this country, relies on offense and although they do not always manage to collect a lot of points, in this match it is likely that both teams will be running and collecting points, and I believe that the total line will be exceeded.

I support the opinion of my colleague who wrote before and I also follow the same path with Musseti. Why? Jocke is not in good condition. The Joker only remains a name and certainly is not in the same form as before and will not have healed all of his injuries. I remember the last match I took against him, I went with Vacheron and a 6 coefficient choice and I was not disappointed. I hope and I will not be disappointed now. Why Musetti? I watched him live during the tournament, he is in impressive form, I really liked his sharp slice, strong psychology, stable serves and resistance in stress points. I took him with Fritz without any doubt, and I will take a little risk with him in Paris, but hoping to catch a beautiful and very valuable coefficient. I believe he is ready to knock out the Joker tonight.

I believe that Djokovic is considered the heavy favorite today. He has reached the quarter-finals without facing any serious opponents, except for Mensik who I believe would have caused problems if he hadn't withdrawn from the tournament. Musetti has been playing well and has managed to defeat strong opponents. The high odds for Musetti are probably because he has never been an elite hard court player, but his game has greatly improved in these conditions. I think this match is 50/50, and if it goes to five sets, Musetti seems more prepared to play such matches, considering Djokovic's age as well.

The extremely poor form and difficulty in scoring goals does not give hope that Liverpool can crush the Qarabag team. Pre-season betting would have been very different, but Qarabag's impressive performance in the Champions League this season, not losing by more than 3 goals, makes it unlikely that Liverpool can change this statistical anomaly. Only managing to score 4 or more goals in a game once this entire season, Liverpool does not appear to be the strong favorite today.

With such poor form, Monaco shouldn't even stand a chance against Juventus. Monaco, looking very weak, will face a strong Juventus team, which has only lost twice in their last 19 matches. Juventus looks very good and when you see how the French play, it's worth choosing Juve.

Perhaps not the strongest, but solid Italian team Atalanta is known for their stability and good gameplay. Their opponent is easily overcome and realistically has no chance of advancing to the next stage. Showing one of the worst defenses in the Champions League, Royale club is a fairly strong underdog in this match and I believe Atalanta will need to prove their superiority.

Pauliukevičius UTMA crushes all of his opponents with explosive force. Score 4-0, all of Peru is confident in knockouts, with great strength and aggression.

Although Šalkovskij's score 2-1 is not bad, especially considering the loss to Dirksčius, it still doesn't come close to what Pauliukevičius demonstrates. The psychological handicap is also clearly in favor of Ignas. The incident during the joint interview, when he hit Šalkovskij in the face, seems to serve him even better - it's clear that Šalkovskij is morally affected.

No matter how much Edvinas repeats that he is completely relaxed and not making a big deal out of his opponent, it's obvious that it's the opposite. This is not a healthy sports anger, but a nervous anger caused by fear. In one interview, Šalkovskij even said that he is going into the fight to "enjoy" it, and whatever happens - happens, and life won't end if he loses. Such attitude and talking about the possibility of losing, especially before a fight against someone like Pauliukevičius, will definitely not help him win. On the contrary.

Meanwhile, Pauliukevičius looks completely tension-free, but let's hope he will control his wild aggression before the fight. I understand that the odds for this bet aren't high, but they're still not bad for this event. I see no real chances for Šalkovskij to win - it's like a train against a muscle car. Both are tough, but the outcome is clear. Even the notorious Dirkstys, while being in the same studio with Pauliukevičius, shows respect and doesn't hesitate to acknowledge his strength.

Pauliukevičius may not be the brightest UTMA fighter, but the fight won't be played like a game of chess. And he has no shortage of aggression, strength, and self-confidence. The home arena and fans won't help Šalkovskij either, in fact, it may only strengthen Pauliukevičius' sports drive. Most importantly, "wanna be Tyson" won't knock out his opponent's ear or arm in the ring 😁.

IEM Krakow 2026 Stage 1

There is a psychological handicap for Pauliukevicius here. Salkovskis, although still upset about the trauma caused by that slap, could feel the strength of Ignas during their conversation. This is not the first time Salkovskis has encountered resistance from Dirkst, but this time there was also a strong opponent in the ring - Ignas. Ignas, on the other hand, participated, fought, and each time seemed to handle the pressure better. This should bombard Pauliukevicius with the Salkovskis case, and Edvinas will need to succeed in catching that one decisive blow.

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.

Milwaukee, with its rejuvenated team, currently looks very much alive, with Giannis continuing to improve as a player and proving to be a true leader, consistent, so I can easily imagine them in the top 4 of the regular season.

The Cavs are not convincing with 3.05, maybe they had a good start, but they collapsed in the playoffs.
76ers are above Orlando..
Knicks are definitely one of the options for second place with 4.6, but they still need to prove themselves in the playoffs.

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.

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.
