(Kasparas Jakucionis Under 11.5 Points) @-105 8/10
He is doing very well so far, although it may be due to the low level of competition who cannot exploit his mistakes. There will be many Italian teams in the Euroleague who have solid skills and know how to get under the skin. KJ is still too young to show stability, but the group of experienced players should provide a strong support system, so he should feel pressure from all sides.
I think that Georgia here has good chances to succeed, there is no Spanish national team that is very strong. They crushed the Danes, but the Danes there have a weak team, there are no leaders. Georgia lost painfully to Ukraine, but there was a naturalized American Reed, as I understand it, he was expelled from the court, but in just 11 minutes he managed to score 18 points, with Shengelia and Bitadze in the team.
Lithuania simply has a great team that cannot be underestimated. Meanwhile, the Italians do not seem as powerful on paper and their surnames are not as well-known. In Lithuania, Buzelis has not yet revealed himself, and he is also a long bench player, where Lithuania is becoming the end of the bench players. Important games, we need a revenge. The Italians do not show a good defense, while Lithuania, with such a team and line-up, looks favorable.
The total score was too low in my eyes, and even though Sudan didn't perform well yesterday, the main reason was that our opponent was weak. Today, our opponent has all the chances to win, so we shouldn't have any trouble securing points. Both teams are playing at a good pace, especially Sudan. They played with a score of 116 in November, but unfortunately did not win, even though their pace was good.
In this championship, both teams look good in terms of offense. Mexico has been scoring an average of 2 goals per match and has yet to let any in. However, they have not faced a team of the caliber of England, who also have a strong offense with 8 goals in 4 matches (excluding the match against Ghana where all the goals were scored by the opposing team). Additionally, with players like Kane and Bellingham in peak form, England is a formidable opponent even for undefeated Mexico. I also believe that Mexico will present a challenge for England, as their defense has shown some weaknesses in previous matches against teams like Croatia, Congo, and even Panama. Although Panama also had their chances, they ultimately failed to score and I think that taking both teams to score with this odds would be a good choice.
Žalgiris still cannot find their game and is very unstable. After a good streak, there was a draw against Džiugu and a crushing defeat from Banga. Siauliai, on the other hand, also has poor results, with four consecutive losses. In order to not fall behind the leaders, Žalgiris must definitely win 3 points against Siauliai today. They should also improve their game as they have upcoming tournaments. On paper, Žalgiris has a better team than Siauliai. So if they manage to get points here, it is uncertain what to expect from them this season.
In the competition where there are many possible scenarios and which should definitely be interesting. Norwegians, despite playing as much as possible, can only hope for a result, as in this cup they have scored 10 scores and missed 8 goals in 4 games. In all matches, both sides have scored and conceded at least one goal, so I think that with Brazilians it will be the same - their defense will have many problems, but their explosive attack could create many opportunities. Although Brazil has an elite duo of center-backs and a goalkeeper, they are not invincible, as both Morocco and Japan managed to score against them. I expect many goals from both teams, so I choose overs and both teams to score bets.
In the game where there are many possible variants and which should definitely be interesting. Norwegians, despite playing as much as possible, are expected to have a successful game, with this team having scored 10 goals in the last 4 games, but also allowed 8 goals. In all matches, as many goals have been scored as have been conceded, so I think it will be similar with Brazilians, although their defense may have many problems, their attacking abilities should create good opportunities. However, Brazil has an elite duo of central defenders and a goalkeeper, but they are not invincible as they have conceded goals against both Morocco and Japan. I'm taking the Over and BTS here, I believe there is potential for both teams to score a few goals.
According to their abilities, Greek style can boldly be said to be a poor defeat to Romania and then a loss to Montenegro. It is clear that they then won against Peru, with a difference of 8 points against Portugal. According to their abilities, I would say the Portuguese results were very good despite the loss. But these losses were with small margins, for example the last one by only 4 points for Montenegro. How important are these matches? For this group, the importance of these matches is at a maximum. Both Greece and Montenegro have already qualified for the next stage, but they both want first place. For Portugal, there is a question of whether or not they will be eliminated if Romania wins and they lose against Peru. The only option for Portugal is to have a positive goal difference in order to advance.
The solid Latvian brothers in this window look very poor. At a friendly meeting, they lost to the Estonians and barely beat the Dutch, showing a lack of confidence in this team, as the roster is missing some key players. The Austrians still have a theoretical chance of surpassing Latvia, so I don't expect a major defeat from them. Even at home, the Latvian team with this roster does not seem as dominant as to crush even the Austrians. This inexperienced national team lacks its NBA player and was humiliated at home by almost 50 points, but that was a cosmic game against Poland, so I don't expect a second crushing defeat.
Having a huge +/- indicator, the Slovenians are already in the next stage, while the Swedes still have to fight. The main composition of the Swedish team with NBA players in the front, I believe, will defeat the Slovenians, who have just been crushed by the Estonians and are without their leader Doncic and a naturalized player. As always, the Slovenian national team seems very weak during this window, while the Swedes seem to be in better form. The group matches will already be played before this meeting, so it will be clear how much and with what margin the Swedes will win, which I think is very realistic.
In only one out of five games, the Czech Republic national team did not exceed this total score, and they were close to a total of 200 points during their away game against Estonia. The Estonians' offense seems decent and scoring 88 and 93 points against Latvia and Slovenia respectively shows their offensive potential. The Czechs play at home and the game against Peru is very important for them, as well as for Estonia, so a serious battle is expected. However, I have doubts that either team will win by their offense alone, so I am expecting a close game in terms of points.
Wimbledon, doubles, women... universal, progressive female tennis players Ukraine and America, driven by a shared passion for sports, performed fairly in the first round tournament, celebrating victory with the Peruvian team, joking with them is not allowed. But... the distinguished and titled representatives of this genre, American Asia (35) and Hungarian Fanny S. (27), have more serious plans. In the first round of the tournament, the latter beat a professional and authoritative duo, showing good form and movement on the court). For authority!
Somehow I think that we will finally have a beautiful and productive match. It won't be like Paraguay parking the bus and not playing themselves or letting others play. There will be football, beautiful football. The Brazilian defense is not impressive. Although they haven't conceded many goals so far, they haven't faced such a powerful attacking team. The flanks are particularly vulnerable. Both teams are focused on attacking, so finally I hope that there will be football.
