Rarely in the mutual duels the total teams make this kind of big mistakes, and today because of the table it is especially important to play well. The referee de Burgos, after a scandal from the Real side for not giving a penalty, should maybe blow the whistle a bit more today, there must be physicality today.

After almost scoring two goals, Chelsea's ability to score goals seems to be heavily underestimated according to the given coefficient. Leeds, demonstrating a very weak form, has a series of four losses and has conceded three goals in three of those matches and two goals in one. In this Premier League season, in eight lost matches, Leeds has only once not conceded two goals, and in eleven matches, they have conceded the ball from their own goal line twice or more. Chelsea rightfully stands high in the league and must defeat Leeds with good gameplay.

Last weekend there were matches in the Bundesliga and 3 goals were scored, today is the cup match where we can expect some rotation. In any case, the playing style of the teams favors goals, but here in the cup, I doubt that any team would want to postpone the match after regular time. I am looking forward to a high-scoring game, as it usually happens between these teams.

The Manchester team Fulham is a particularly favorable opponent, having beaten City's team 18 times in a row and this winning streak should continue. Although City is no longer dominating, the team is in good form with a strong offense and also consistently scoring two or more goals. It is not necessary to focus on a high coefficient, as this is a good choice for assessing the teams' playing and abilities.

Perhaps miraculously, Tottenham will not recover against Newcastle, because according to the game trend, some are quite stable, especially when playing at home, while others are stagnant and their performance in matches is constantly declining. Tottenham's game is unbelievable, it seemed that with a new coach they would become more defensive, but recently their defense has been failing and Newcastle should take advantage of playing at home.

Maybe not the most confident City game lately, but I believe they will at least take a working draw here. The composition and talent are on their side, and sometimes it seems that the harder the team, the better. Fulham had a decent series in Peru, but there weren't any particularly loud results. The win against Tottenham was impressive, but I don't think Tottenham is much of a threat this year with a new coach. The head-to-head record is impressive in favor of City.

Although the Celtics team shows that they can play without Tatum and there are players who can replace him, it is difficult for the Boston team to maintain a stable game both throughout the match and in every game. Their quality is there, but their opponents have an advantage. Without Tatum, the Celtics seem much weaker, while the Knicks team lacks a consistent rotation of players and their leaders are healthy and in good form.

Challenger Angers, France, is tough... Candidate for the Czech Republic team, Dominica S. (21 years old), is versatile and feels good on this surface, she should take one set, but... In Peru, on the rise, Jelina V. (18 years old) from Belgium on her favorite surface, this encounter should start more aggressively, with under errors.

Although the Grizzlies surprisingly compete well against lower-ranked teams, in my opinion, they will reach their limits today. The Spurs are showing good basketball, even without Wembi. Fox is successful in his leadership role and the team has plenty of talent even without him. Plus, the Spurs have a strong home record of 8-2 this season. I am expecting a solid performance from San Antonio against the Grizzlies at home.

Snooker UK Championship, competition up to eleven games. The last face-to-face meeting in the past autumn was won by Eliotas S. (31 years old), and it was his only win out of four meetings. This season, Kyren Wilson (33 years old) has risen to the top 3 world's best players. Despite the recent unsuccessful period, Kyren maintains his dynamic and feels the game, favorable tour format, and the motivation to bounce back.

Although recently Atarkpa has not been the best player for Jadenas, his abilities definitely allow him to score such a high points total. He has a great shooting hand, plays a lot, and I think it's time for him to score over 20 points. The only downside is that he doesn't take much initiative, as other players often take the majority of shots and he usually focuses on defense. However, when given at least 15-16 shots, he can confidently score, especially when the 3-pointers are falling. It's a risky bet, but considering the New Orleans defense, I think it's worth a try.

Even though Memphis can put up a fight, I think their defense is dangerous upfront. The Peruvian defenders are not very impressive and they should be punished with 3-pointers. That's why my choice is Devin, who can shoot pretty well from long range. Currently, he's playing an average of 35 minutes per game and makes a lot of 3-pointers, which can be a key weapon against Memphis, who have recently struggled defensively. However, I wouldn't count them out completely, as they still have a lot of problems. So, not only is Devin a threat from long range, but he can also punish them in fast breaks. And while not all players have returned to the Spurs, in my opinion, he's a solid option and I would predict around 25 points for him tonight.

After a tough game against the Atlanta Hawks, I believe it's time for Philadelphia to rebound with a strong performance, and my choice would be Edgecombe who had a weak game against the Hawks due to returning from an injury, but I believe he will shine with different colors today. On average, he makes about 15 shots per game and plays for about 35 minutes, and while his percentages are not impressive so far, he definitely has a lot of potential, especially with the Wizards' defense. I hope he will score around 20 points, but more importantly, he needs to make good shots and not take away any opportunities from Maxey.

The leaders and top players of Euroleague, attacking team Hapoel with an average of 90.7 points, will play against the worst team in the league with the worst attack of 75.8 points. With such a strong attack and the playing style of Asvel team, I believe there will be a significant difference in favor of Hapoel. The team is still playing in Bulgaria, but after playing against Hapoel in multiple matches, they will understand and be able to do what the top players do.

Back to back games for these teams, Juventus LKL defeated Nevėžio team by 17 points in their last match before the national team, and now they are given a double-digit handicap at home. The leader of the Kėdainiai club - Tony Peru has already left the team and without him, it will be even harder for the club to face Juventus. The Utenos team has lost to this team twice before, but at home, Juventus is a different team with 5 wins out of 6 recent home games, and all of them with a difference of +9.

Before heading out in search of more league points against Mansfield Town next Tuesday, December 9th, Steven Schumacher's men face Vertu Trophy and FA Cup matches. First up, Bradford City face the Vertu Trophy last-32 at the Toughsheet Community Stadium tomorrow (Tuesday evening), before a trip to the County Ground on Saturday to face League Two heavyweights in the FA Cup second round. Boasting a 100% record from the group stage, Wanderers enter the Vertu Trophy knockout stages with another clean sheet. Thierry Gale remains suspended after his red card against Rotherham United, but Bolton have a fully fit squad to choose from against Bradford City. Jordi Osei-Tutu shrugged off a weak leg against Luton Town, and there could be an opportunity for Victor Adeboyejo to get his first competitive minutes since February following his recent return to training. The Nigerian striker has been out since February but had already anticipated this match as his return to action. Will Forrester is also expected to make his second appearance of the season, after facing Oldham Athletic in the final group game. The Wanderers – winners of the trophy in 2023 – reached the quarter-finals last season and will secure a round of 16 match if they overcome Bradford, who ended the Whites' eight-game winning streak with a goalless draw in their last League One away game. Both teams are likely to be significantly changed from last month's meeting, but the Wanderers have the squad depth to cope with the situation, while also looking to offer further opportunities to players aiming for a league title and who have already made their mark in this season's Trophy, leading the Wanderers to three consecutive wins and 10 goals in the group stage. Bolton are worth significantly more than their opponents at 19,70 million vs 6,10 million and are playing this second round of the Cup in their home stadium, with the advantage of a home crowd. In this case, I choose the 1 sign with possible 1-0/2-0.

The Lechia Gdańsk vs. Górnik Zabrze match will open the round of 16 of the STS Polish Cup. It will be a special encounter for John Carver. The English coach will begin his second year with the green and whites. Lechia Gdańsk has been performing very well in the PKO Ekstraklasa recently. In their last three matches, the Tri-City team has collected seven points and is just one step away from leaving the relegation zone. Naturally, Tomas Bobcek has made a huge contribution to the Gdańsk team's results, having already scored 11 goals this season and leading the scoring charts. Górnik Zabrze, on the other hand, still leads the PKO Ekstraklasa standings, but their recent results are less than impressive. In Zabrze's case, they have only collected one point in their last three matches, which has meant they are closing in on the chasing pack. However, this year, the Silesian team could lose their leading position. The hosts are slightly more valuable than their opponents at 17,75 million vs 16,78 million. Lechia plays at their home stadium with the advantage of a home crowd, so they could also seek a win to advance, although in the event of a draw there will be penalties. In this case, I choose to play Asian at home, which will be voided in the event of a draw. Possible results: 1-0, 2-0. gl
