Although Barcelona plays an offensive style of football, scoring 5 goals in a match is still not a common occurrence for them. Currently, Girona looks very good and has risen out of the relegation zone, and in their last game they scored 4 goals, which was just at the end of October and in the cup. Girona is a defensive team that plays a very unproductive and sluggish style of football. Even though Barcelona is coming after a defeat and could score a lot, I don't expect 5 goals in this match, and 4 would be enough.
Although the final of the team may not be worth it, but the ability and form of the Bnei team is worthy of respect. 8 consecutive losses in the Champions League show that the team can play well, it just needed time and concentration. Although the teams have the same result of 12 losses in the league, the difference at the team level is why I choose Bnei, who are able to play very well, especially when they are in such good form.
Productive basketball is the calling card of the Dubi team when playing at home. Bosnia is the surprise of this season, which surprises and looks very good. The Bosnian club continues to perform well in the FIBA Europe Cup and in their ABA group they have been a serious force. Bosnia plays with productivity, and Vytis Dubai will need it, as they score high numbers at home. The game must be high-scoring, and Bosnia has the potential to score many points.
Morning is not even close to its past season's level, but a sad team like Juventus must be defeated before KMT. Rytas lost to Juventus almost a month ago, but I consider it a plus for the bet. It is very difficult for teams of similar level, and especially for overall lower level teams, to do back to back defeats against the same teams. Rytas needs to prove to both themselves and us that those 5 losses were just a relaxation.
Both teams are not in their best forms, comparing the last 3-4 months it is probably fair to admit that FURIA is better than Falcons. But I am not sure, the odds might be a bit too high. Young talent Kyousuke continues to play well and has become one of the best players in the team. It is also important for Falcons that m0nesy and niko are in good form, which they have been so far in this tournament. FURIA has had a tough time in this tournament. I don't know, any team could win here, but at the moment I am leaning towards Falcons.
In elimination 0-2 matches, there are often a lot of mistakes, as both teams are in poor form. It will be similar here, but I am choosing the slightly lesser of two evils. The French team is in bad shape, but compared to both teams, they have reached a slightly higher peak than Heroic. The latter cannot even play with their main AWPer due to visa issues and are constantly using a stand-in youngster who is not even an AWPer. Plus, Heroic has suffered losses against weaker teams. Overall, I believe we will see an ugly game of CS and a lot of thrown rounds from both teams.
30m Czech player Barbora Krejcikova is always very dangerous, but injuries hold her back. She is a very technical player, who also plays tactically well, but of course if her health allows. Amanda Anisimova, like last season, started off strong, but in Doha she didn't finish her match against veteran Karolina Pliskova, so it's unclear what her condition will be for this tournament.
Both Peruvian player is injured, but Badosa is particularly strong, this season there are no results at all, out of six matches she only won two, with many losses against weak opponents such as Ghana. Siniakova is also not known for her stability, but she is strong against Ghana in the first round, afterwards her performance declines due to injuries.
Emma Raducanu, 23-year-old from the UK, stands well at the back line, but has been dealing with injuries since 2025. Of course, she is still capable of handling a few matches. However, sometimes her serve speed drops significantly and she just can't pull it off. Losses like against Preston or Osorio show that she still has a chance. On the other hand, the 25-year-old Italian has been on fire this season, nailing every match. She won the Hobart tournament this season and advanced to the quarterfinals in Doha last week. This season she has strong wins over Gauff and Jovic, and has beaten American A.Li twice.
I am not expecting any difficult games, so I am looking forward to some easy and open football here. Al Hilal has a great team, they have taken care of everything reliably and secured the first place. Al Wahda still has a chance to compete for higher places and home advantage in the playoffs, but that's about it. The visitors do not excel in defense, while Al Hilal has good attacking players even without their key players.
Krilavicius did not convince me with his kickboxing skills, poor technique, strikes with great power, often without accuracy. Big strikes also open up gaps in Krilavicius' defense, which even someone like Oskaras Buinickas used in his last fight. For Peru, such moves by Krilavicius and taking risks look favorable. Peru has a very good bank, Krilavicius has not had an opponent with such strikes in UTMOJ yet. I think the odds are worth the risk.
This is simple logic. Misiunas has always beaten Rimkenzo, and surely Misiunas was not in good athletic shape, one fight with Rimkenzo was even after closing. Rimkenzo also beat the same Matiukov, who did not seem very solid. Since then, Misiunas seems to take combat sports more seriously, and also contributed to the return to Sparta Gym.
Zygimantas finally broke through in the UTMA tournament and won against Peru, which was crucial for him psychologically. Until then, it didn't seem like Kiudelis would be poorly prepared for the psychological aspect or that those losses would affect him, but after the last Peru and upcoming tournament conference, it was obvious that he lacked it. He had the maximum self-confidence and even Kiudelis himself intimidated his opponent. Majauskas was a very weak opponent, from what we've seen in UTMA, he definitely doesn't attract professional ringers. Kiudelis had stronger opponents before and had to harden himself.
