After the division of teams into groups, LASK team won all 6 played matches and the last 4 were won by 2 or more goals. Despite appearing weak in the early stages of the conference league, Austria's LASK managed to improve and now plays with great confidence. They have already secured 7th place and the opportunity to compete in the conference league next season, as LASK continues to dominate and must finish the season successfully. At home, the Austrian team plays with great confidence and has already won against Hartberg away, so they must do the same at home.
Since I am hoping for at least 3 goals from Dortmund's side, it seems logical to bet on the player who will score the goal. Serhou is one of the most reliable strikers this season, both with his head and in creating opportunities up front. He has a similar profile to Kane, so he would be a good pick, as there will likely be many opportunities for him to score. He has been in great form recently, scoring 7 goals in 4 games. Barcelona conceded 3 goals, so I believe the over/under coefficient is very favorable, especially since in the past the goal was often given a coefficient of 1.4. Of course, due to the level of his opponent, the coefficient has risen to a more normal 2 now, but I don't think that Bayer will be giving their all in this match, so there is a good value to be found in this pick.
I will take maximum risks, although it is more realistic that there will be two goals, but if Bayer puts up a fight, I believe that Dortmund will have to take risks for Peru, as a draw would not satisfy them in these matches, considering the opponent's position. As mentioned earlier, Bayer has nothing to fight for, it is purely a farewell match, both for the coach and for some players. Again, as mentioned, I do not expect Bayer to just give up the match, but I have more faith in Dortmund and their recent performance, that they will do everything possible to win all 3 points and at certain moments, I believe we will have to take risks and goals will be scored.
I have a lot of hopes for Dortmund, because Bayer is just playing to play, Alonso seems to be going to Real, some of the main players will also try to go to top clubs, so this is their last dance with Bayer. Of course, I'm not saying they will purposely lose matches, but lately there has been a relaxation within the club, as they have secured second place and let Bayern's team go a long time ago. So this match doesn't really mean anything for them, but it means a lot for Dortmund. And if they accidentally stumble upon Freiburg, it would be a fairy tale. Speaking of Dortmund, they have recently caught their form and are working hard to secure their spot in the Champion's League. They were a bit late in getting their form, but even without considering the Champion's League, they are not at peace in other European tournaments. So in my opinion, there is a lot of expectations and excitement for this match, and I wonder if Dortmund can withstand the test or if they will let go of all opportunities.
Surprisingly, after losing the home game, Celtics now play away and like the Pacers and Cavs, I hope for the recovery of the Boston club. Celtics have already won some difficult games and I believe they won't lose for the third time. Knicks team can't keep up with Celtics for much longer. In this season, Celtics have won all 3 games against each other in the regular season, so I think it's time for them to win again.
The most important season games for both teams in the battle for survival. The Lavrio team did not look bad in the regular season, but the end of the season was tragic for them and they cannot win against the weakest teams in the league, even at home. The Maroussi team, led by former Rytas player Fridriksonas, has gained necessary experience and chemistry in the FIBA Europe Cup tournament and looks very good and strong at the end of the season. Although the last 3 games were won at home, I believe it is time for them to win away against Lavrio, who have been looking tragic. It is no surprise that the away team is the favorite and I think they must live up to their label.
Both players have some physical problems. Last week, Ben Shelton had some minor health issues and couldn't resist at all. Munar probably has even bigger problems, he was at home with Khachanov K. supporting spectators, and showed that he couldn't play against servers equally, he took a medical time out. The Russian could break the Spaniard almost whenever he wanted. And overall, this clay season for the Spaniard has been tragic, the ratio 3:6 at the moment, I am inclined to add that he doesn't play against servers and has some health problems.
PGL Astana would be possible to choose HOTU and will work quite well, since paiN doesn't have a, which was replaced by a coach. The team itself has been struggling lately and has been collecting losses. They missed one tournament due to a stand-in and now can't play with their original player. The Brazilians have decent potential and they wouldn't surprise anyone if they beat even with a coach. HOTU, on the other hand, is a weak team from Ghana, but they have a chance to show their skills in this tournament and shouldn't lack motivation. I believe that both teams will exchange one defeat each and everything will be decided in the third round.
NBA 2nd round. Knicks vs. Celtics. Game 3. We're going with a guest - minus handicap. Knicks have pulled off two completely unexpected wins. The first one was won by 3 points in overtime, the second was a clear victory. In both games, Boston struggled and wasted huge opportunities. I don't believe that Boston will be able to win on the road in any of the games, and it's important to do it in the first ones, otherwise it will be very difficult at 0-3. Boston has thrown 25 3-pointers out of 100 in the last two games against the Knicks😡 Yes, they have thrown 100 3-pointers in two games, which is an unbelievable number. I think they have learned their lessons and won't be throwing their stepback 3-pointers by Tatum, White, or Pritchard, and that alone will be enough to win by at least 5 points. Yes, there's no Porzingis and that's a significant factor, but the talent in Boston is undeniable, and as long as they don't make any foolish decisions like they did before, I believe they have this win. It will be difficult with the mentally sharp Knicks fans, but it could also add some pressure for the Knicks players themselves. Good luck.
With a coefficient of 5 being awarded for winning the EuroLeague. In the first game against Pao, the coefficient was 2.10, which leaves about ~2.4 for the final. If they were to make it to the final against anyone, I think the coefficient would be about the same and would not reach 2.4, making it a mathematically +EV bet. This may also be more of a gut feeling, considering the team compositions, but I believe it is time for Saras to win. This year, they once again look great, with Baldwin playing exceptionally well and having a well-organized team even without an adequate center, despite their names not shining as brightly as those of other teams. The foundation for this bet seems solid, with Nunn not playing at all in the playoffs, while the team is led by Osman and Hernangomez. Nunn gives more negatives than positives. Although Olympiacos has Vezenkov, there are still many gaps in the team and it is unclear how they will perform against Monaco, but even if they manage to win, I believe they would crumble against Saras in the final. The only series they won convincingly was against Fener in the playoffs, which was to be expected. They have time to recover and the coach to prepare the team for the Final Four. Saras himself has reached the Final Four a total of 12 times, so he will have a lot of wisdom to share with his players.
(Minnesota Timberwolves serijos score 4-1) @420 4/10
GSW won the first game, but it's not really important because Curry suffered a hamstring injury and won't be able to recover quickly. His season is over, even though he's still listed as day-to-day, but based on history, no one can recover quickly from such injuries. Without Curry, GSW doesn't stand a chance in this series and I would be surprised if they manage to win at least one game. The odds are still good, when the Wolves win the second game, most likely by a big margin, the odds will drop significantly.
