Two of the top teams in the league meet for the second time this season. The highly competitive championship and regular season are coming to an end, and the battle for first place is still alive. Both teams, Saints and Rams, have 4 losses, so the fight should be intense. The New Zealand club relies on its offensive game. Rams is the league's top offensive team, averaging 99.1 points per game, while also allowing 84.6 points. Saints, the second strongest offensive team in the league, consistently scores 95.5 points per game and allows 83.6. As the season draws to a close, players are getting better and better at attacking the basket, and teams are scoring higher numbers on offense. In their previous meeting, the total score was high. Both teams are strong on offense and often surpass this score, while weaker teams struggle to score, so when two top offensive teams meet, I believe there will be a high-scoring game.

The tennis players met twice four to five years ago. Although Kalinskaja won both matches 2-0, the handicap in both matches was not greater than five games.
Now - a completely different story. First of all, the matches will be played on grass, not on hard courts like before. Stojanovic has already played three matches in England and won all of them, as would be expected. Previously, there was another match in the Netherlands. In other words, the Serbian has already acclimated to the green surface.
The Russian currently does not show anything good in her cards. Recently, she lost to a weaker opponent, Bouskova, in the RG tournament, and in Berlin on grass, she managed to lose to an absolute underdog, Seidel.
In short, it is still unknown which of the future opponents will be better prepared. Based on everything, Kalinskaja will have a tough time and will not easily defeat her opponent.
Israel started the championship very successfully by crushing Peru, who were playing at home, and managing to defeat them by a 25-point margin with a score of 102 points. Due to the potentially political situation, the game between Israel and Jordan did not take place, so Israel had extra time to rest and prepare for the game against Dominica. The young team of Dominica lost to the Swiss team, and their offense also seemed weak with a score of 76 points against Switzerland and 79 points against the youth team of Jordan. Although youth teams are unpredictable, Israel appears to be significantly better and seeing their game against Switzerland and strong offense, Dominica does not seem to have a chance against them. Therefore, even though it is a large deficit, in such championships we often see big score gaps.

Now - a completely different story. First of all, the games will be played on grass, not on a hard surface like the previous times. Stojanovic has already played three matches in England and won all of them, of course. Before that, there was another match in the Netherlands. In short, the Serbian player is already getting used to the green surface.
At the moment, Rusaitė is not showing any good results. She recently lost to Bouskova, who is weaker than her, at the RG tournament, and in Berlin on grass she managed to lose to Seidel, who is a complete outsider.
In short, it is still unknown which of the future opponents will be better prepared. According to everything, Kalinskaja will have a hard time and will not easily defeat her opponent.
