The current tournament has shown that both teams are doing fairly well in attack, but there is room for improvement in defense. The match against Manchester City exposed Juventus' weaknesses in defense, and even though they were able to hide some mistakes against the two Arab clubs, their defense looked weak against a top-level attack. Against Real Madrid, it's hard to expect anything better, especially if Mbappe returns. Real Madrid, to be fair, also did not shine in defense, and the two goals conceded in the group stage were more due to the opponents' inability to score rather than solid defensive play. With Juventus, they may not get away with it and should not get away with it. I believe that the key factor in determining the outcome of the match will be the attack.

The royal club of Madrid, Real, starts the knockout stages and has faced a strong opponent in terms of the championship, but weak compared to European standards. Juventus is no longer the team that was one of the strongest in Europe, now they have a rather weak and average squad that sometimes manages to score but consistently loses, especially against teams of this level like Real. We can see a strong determination from Spanish clubs both in terms of discussions before the championship and during the games. Although the new Real coach is trying to maneuver the squad, I believe that the Madrid club is much stronger and Juventus' abilities were clearly shown in their easy defeat by City in the last round of the group stage. The odds are good because Juventus' successful game against very weak teams seems to have overshadowed everyone, and I think we should take advantage of that.

The last opportunity for one non-European club to reach the quarterfinals. The Monterrey club, who have good football players according to Mexican standards such as Ramos, are clearly weaker compared to Dortmund. The German club, which is getting even better, is strong and with their young players they can achieve great things. There should be no nerves from the Dortmund players, as that is to be expected from a Mexican club. Good odds, and all Europeans have been successful against their opponents from other continents in the knock-out stages, so there should be no difference here, especially considering that there have already been two surprises in a row. Therefore, I don't think we should expect any more of them.

The Lynx girls are currently much stronger than the Fever as they have 14 wins out of 16 games compared to the Fever's 8 out of 16. In this season, as usual, the Lynx defeated the Fever by 11 points. I believe that the Lynx will successfully defend their tournament title, as they are a very strong and dominant team at the moment, which should be proven at home.

FIFA Club World Cup quarter-finals! The clubs are well acquainted with each other, and an interesting match is ahead. Despite the recent tragic events at Juventus, today's matches only add weight (motivation). However, the Spaniards have been disciplined and progressive in this tournament, and if not for that missed penalty kick, I would say they have done well! The Peruvians are also solid and young, both in defense and in attack, making them one of the better teams in this tournament. Of course, anything can happen at this stage, but it would be unfair if Real Madrid, in such good form, did not make it to the next stage.

Even though Rinderknech played 5 sets, but after Peru against Zverev, I think the Frenchman will be very well disposed and prepared to continue playing excellently. Good serving and decent play from the backline looks very good from the French side, and when playing against a clay court specialist it should be easy enough to handle. I think the advantage can be taken here, but due to the long final clash and Peru looking suitable, Garin manages to win win on grass, and this year has already won 4 matches at Wimbledon, but I think he will fall against the Frenchman who looks very good.

In the last five played games, Indiana scored a higher number of points than 84. Even Dallas, with only six days of rest, managed to score 86 points against the "Fever" team. Not to mention Minnesota, who plays at home. In their arena, the "Lynx" feel very good and rarely lose.

The visitors are coming after a long trip, so it will be harder for them to get into the game. The hosts played two days ago, but it was more like an active practice than a WNBA game - they dominated Connecticut with a score of 102:63. The atmosphere is perfect for another successful game for Minnesota.
