WKBL League. In first place, KB Stars will face off against Busan, who is fighting for a playoff spot. KB Stars have practically secured first place, while Busan needs a few more wins as there are only a few games left. Busan has not won against KB Stars in the last 3 games, but in the last few games, they have been playing very well. Playing at home, I think at least the handicap will be covered.

Even though it might be difficult, playing a game at the most inconvenient time and being mentally prepared for a tough battle can be challenging. PAO lost Grant and I doubt they would risk playing him, which means a defensive player will have to step up. PAO has found their solid form, with Nunna and their offense improving. Olympiacos' injuries have become their strength, which was only on paper before the season. Both teams have an abundance of weapons on offense, but the circumstances also call for saving energy for the Euroleague.

Xinjiang had a losing streak, but now they have reached home in Peru. Now they play at home again against an opponent who was recently defeated. Xinjiang is playing well wherever they go, so in order to compete for a playoff spot, they need to beat the Rockets who are playing very weakly away.

Both teams have the ability to attack here, as I mentioned in the previous forecast, these first matches could decide the fate of the series. Besiktas is a very strong team and one of the favorites to win the tournament. Although the team has a very good offense, their defense is not bad either, just not as strong as their offense. The visitors also have a decent offense, but like Besiktas, they also focus on their defense. The total is more based on their results in Turkey, where referees often allow for higher scores. In the 2026 Eurocup, Besiktas played 4 matches and did not reach such a total score.

Well, Tianjin is not doing too well now and has a series of losses, and their opponent Shandong is definitely strong. But during the season, Tianjin has played quite decently. They have played against each other once this season and have each won a game. In their last match, Tianjin was beaten by +20 points. When the teams meet again in a short period of time, the matches usually happen more frequently and this should not be an exception.

The first games, which often determine the series winner, therefore teams play much more responsibly, also the tension is greater. Both teams this season have 1st and 2nd place according to the defense ratings. Bourgas is also in second place for pace, so I am expecting dominant basketball from them when playing at home.

Excellent Czech form, covers everyone, serves well, few mistakes, great racquets, the surface suits him. Sinister little robot, but not invincible, the coefficient is inadequate and on a good day Lehecka can beat an Italian having a bad day.
10kf is definitely inadequate.

Even though Panathinaikos won the cup in Heraklion, Greece, in this season they have lost 3 out of 4 games against Olympiacos, with one of the victories being an away game. Despite Pao's 6-game winning streak and their improved performance, they still don't seem very confident. Olympiacos, on the other hand, has a psychological advantage, so in these upcoming matches, I believe it is worth betting on Bartzokas' team, which is still considered the underdog.

One of the most productive football-playing teams, Germany always promotes an offensive style of play. In this match they even scored 4 goals against the Swiss team, and now they have to score a lot of goals again at home against the Ghanaian team. The latter was already crushed by Austria 5-1, so scoring three goals should be quite easy for the Germans. In the 2025 World Cup qualifiers, the German team has scored 16 goals in 6 matches, showing that scoring 3 goals is quite a usual result for them.

These teams showed all their beauty in the first match, Bayern won 2-3 away, even though it could have been an over, as both teams hit the post three times. United will visit one of the best European teams with a deficit and a fighting spirit, while Bayern marches on... these girls have only lost once this season, in the first Champions League group match against Barcelona (7-1 considering their form this season is out of this world). Bayern has scored 3+ goals in 25 out of 33 matches this season, it's very difficult to stop these girls and United knows that, so they must be prepared to play an over.

In these first matches, these teams showed their full potential, with Bayern winning 2-3 away, although it could have been an even higher score as both teams hit the crossbar three times. United are traveling to face one of the best teams in Europe with a deficit, with the determination to fight for a win, while Bayern continues to dominate... This team has only lost once this season, in the first group match against Barcelona (7-1 when looking at their form this season, it's out of this world). Bayern has scored 3+ goals in 25 out of 33 matches this season, and it's very difficult to stop this team, which United knows very well. Therefore, the mindset must be focused on scoring as many goals as possible.

Arsenal have caught a beastly form, last season Arsenal won the Champions League, but this season they started off poorly with many dropped points and unexpected losses. However, in the last 11 games they won all 11, including the Club World Cup finals. The first match between them ended with Arsenal beating Peru 3-1, and on Saturday Arsenal defeated Tottenham 5-2, saving their position. On Sunday, Chelsea barely won 4-3 against Villa (an extra rest day worked in Arsenal's favor). During this 11 game series, Arsenal beat Chelsea twice and City, two of the better teams in England.

One team left a good impression, while the other had great success. The Swedes performed professionally against Ukraine and won 3-1, while the Poles looked tragically and only managed to score one goal out of the many opportunities given by Albania. The Poles made many silly mistakes in defense, and Albania had three one-on-one opportunities but couldn't score. The Swedes won't waste such chances at home, Gyokeres seems to be in good form, scoring all 3 goals against Ukraine. I see Sweden winning 2-1 or 3-1, but the odds for Sweden's total are too sweet, which could potentially lead to a 2-2 draw or a 2-3 loss.

Although the Czechs and favorites are waiting for a fierce fight in the finals of the Euros. The Czechs barely made it to the quarterfinals against the Turks when they managed to come back from a 0-2 deficit and win on penalties, while the Danes very professionally dealt with the Macedonians at home with a 4-0 score. I take a gamble here because both teams have strong statistics and the fight is guaranteed. The Czechs have conceded 13 corners against Ireland, while they only took 6. The Danes took 13 corners against the Macedonians, 11 of which were converted into goals.

The Turks barely managed to secure a 1-0 victory against Peru before facing the Romanians, although it was supposed to be much easier. Meanwhile, Kosovo surprised everyone with a strong away performance, defeating the Slovaks 3-4. The Turks underperformed, while Kosovo overperformed, but this will be a motivation for both teams going into the final. The Turks will need to focus, while Kosovo will be fired up. Kosovo is a solid team on their home turf and rarely loses since 2022, while the Turks are a very solid and likable team that plays offensively. I see potential in both teams, but the Turks are the safer bet, with a possible score of 1-2 or 1-3 in their favor. However, I believe we can expect an exciting football match from both sides.

Professional Development League

Bournemouth's youth team, one of the best in the league, suffered a painful 4-5 defeat in the quarter-finals against West Brom just a couple of days ago. Now they have a great opportunity to redeem themselves against a lower league team. In the two previous matches between the two teams in the last 2 years, Bournemouth came out victorious with a score of 4-3 and 6-0, with goals being scored in the very first period. In the first game, there were 5 goals scored, and in the second game, all 6 goals were scored in the first period. On average, Bournemouth has scored 3.9 goals per game, while Crewe has scored 3.8 goals. At home, Bournemouth has conceded an average of 3.6 goals per game, while away, Crewe's average remains at 3.8 goals. Both teams have a goal average of 4~, but the difference between them is astronomical - one at the top, the other at the bottom.

Just a couple of days ago, Bournemouth, one of the best youth teams, suffered a painful 4-5 defeat in the quarter-finals against West Brom, but now they have a great opportunity to redeem themselves against a lower league team. In the two games played between the two teams over the past two years, Bournemouth won both with scores of 4-3 and 6-0, with goals pouring in from the first period with 4-3 and 5 goals scored and all 6 goals scored in the first period with a 6-0 final score. The average number of goals per game for Bournemouth is 3.9, while Crewe has an average of 3.8, and at home Bournemouth concedes under 3.6 goals, while away Crewe maintains an average of 3.8 goals. Both teams have an average of 4+ goals, but the difference between them is huge, which is why one is at the top and the other at the bottom.
