Prognostika

Paris comes to the French Open on a serious wave and I am hoping for a good performance. Feneris won both matches against Paris this season in terms of points, but Paris also wasted Peru. Feneris looks good, but it's hard to bet against Paris' form.

KHL. Quarterfinals. In Moscow, two wins (5:3 and 2:0) were achieved by the Kazan skaters, while they were unable to defeat Moscow dynamo on their own turf (lost 1:3). It seems like the visitors have found the antidote and are not preparing to surrender.

There's no need to talk about the importance of the upcoming match. The teams have already studied each other's tactics and styles, and we can expect a tense and, hopefully, not too high-scoring battle.

Apart from the extension, the Germany-Spain match was low-scoring as usual for such an important game. Now, it is safe to say that Real will face a huge failure at home against Bayern, who cannot afford to lose. Of course, the Germans themselves will not play their usual basketball as it will be difficult to score and deal with the stress. The regular season match between Spain and Germany was also not very productive, so we can expect the same now.

To me, Pao now seems like the strongest team in the Euroleague, while at the same time, Efes's series seems like Peru - all the conquered teams from the play-in zone or lower. In the regular season, the teams were evenly matched, but at this stage, I would trust Pao's form more.

Peru Salkovskij in the fight against Dirkstys, essentially there was also a psychological pressure against Edvinas before the fight with Dirkstys. It won't be like that here, and the opponent in the final fight will be a good impression for Nepal Modestas Juodpusis. He had a weaker opponent, but still managed to defeat him. He has height, but lacks technique, coordination, and defense as well. In normal circumstances, Salkovskij, in my eyes, is close to Dirkstys' level, so opponents like Modestas must be confidently overcome.

Last time it became clear that Chelsea, without a strong character, lost their way and even returned from 0-2 against Ipswich, which in essence should not have happened, but they changed their attitude and then returned when they had a fighting spirit. At home they say a lot of things, Fulham's team this year is solid. They have beaten some good teams like Forest, Newcastle, and even Arsenal, and have held their own against Liverpool. In general, Fulham knows how to play against "stronger" teams, even punishing Chelsea in their away game. By the way, Chelsea has not had a Premier League win in 4 months since they beat Tottenham on December 8th.

KHL. Quarterfinals. In series 2:1, "Tractor" is leading, but Minsk team simply could not have any luck in Chelyabinsk, where they could have scored at least one goal.

In the second match of the series, "Dynamo" was leading 3:0 (with two goals scored in the first period). As for the third match played in Minsk Arena, there is nothing to talk about: the hosts scored 8 goals (3:0, 3:0, 2:0).
Overall, in front of their home crowd, the dynamo players become unstoppable.

KHL. Quarterfinals.
The Minsk team played two unsuccessful matches in Chelyabinsk: they were ahead in both and couldn't secure a win. This doesn't happen in Minsk. In the eighth finals, "Dinamo" defeated "Moscow Warriors" three times in their own arena: 5-2, 5-2, 7-0. A similar fate awaited the visitors, the "Traktor" team: the hosts had no chance in the third match, losing 8-0.

Since an important match is awaiting on Friday (Minsk's team must equalize the series result), it can be expected that the visitors will leave the Belarusian capital without a win.

The most important meeting for United has arrived today, which is currently in 14th place in the Premier League and played against the Newcastle team specifically for this match. United plays well at home and although not everything is going smoothly for the team, they seem to be doing very well in the European league. Lyon has many injury problems and without them the team would look much better, but now it is as it is and they have to rely on veteran Lacazette, as they do not have much depth within their team. United has a wider roster and will play without pressure at home, as the score is equal, so I believe they will come out victorious against the French team.

But despite full domination by Spain, Betis is now heading to Poland where a 2-goal handicap won't be enough for the Spaniards to give the initiative to the Poles. Jagiellona is a good club, but they cannot be compared to Betis because the difference in teams was evident in Spain where the Poles were overpowered. Betis is too strong and has a good team, while the Polish clubs have shown that they are far from this level, so we can expect the same results in the return match.

My name is Raimondas and recently I have become a clear favorite, receiving tougher opponents. Viksraitis fought against Matas Stebuliauskas, in the first fight it was almost a 50/50, in the second there was a strong performance by Peru. Raimondas gained a strong victory against Narauskas and in the last tournament showed a very good fight against Nauris Lukosiunas. Raimondas impresses with his stability and even distribution of endurance, even in the final rounds.

I won't tell much about the past, when I walked with Frankfurt +1. Germans took the necessary points and now I believe Tottenham will end their hope for Europe. At home, the third series now belong to Frankfurt, beating decent teams like Ajax and Stuttgart in this run, and even demolishing Ajax 4-1 in the previous round of the Europa League. Away, Tottenham looks miserable with 4 losses in a row in this season's European games, including 2 losses to average teams like Hoffenheim and Hungarian Ferencvaros, as well as losses to Galatasaray, AZ, and a draw with Rangers. And as always, in these stages, Tottenham's DNA is shocking. I predict a 3-1 win for the home team.

I consider Barcelona to be the strong favorite, as they have looked like one of the strongest teams in Europe in the last month. In the head-to-head matches, Barcelona has won strongly both times, and Monaco has one of the quietest home crowds in the Euroleague. I believe that Barcelona will start the series with a win in the first game. Vesely has also returned.
