A very interesting and productive match is predicted, Greece, where the local team Olympiacos is even considered the favorite. The arrival of Bayer, who is not in the best form with two losses, still has a lot of potential. Olympiacos has found their rhythm after the first two dry matches in the Champions League and plays very productively, while the arrival of Bayer also benefits the over. Both teams enjoy a productive style of football and are capable of conceding and scoring goals, so I expect a lot of goals in this match.
After the night comes the light, this could be said about Manchester United, and I believe the same will be with City. After the tragic match in the city derby, City will go to Norway, where they need to and must rehabilitate themselves. With a slightly complicated situation after the loss to Bayer team, City is fighting for a spot in the top eight and now every lost point leads to a fall downwards. Bodo is another Champions League team that hasn't had any league matches since December and although the team is not in their best form, their strength is significantly weaker compared to City. I believe Manchester team will show a different face and dominate, winning over a weak and unimportant Bodo team in Norway.
Although Napoli is going through their worst period with three consecutive losses, they are still significantly stronger than their opponent in this match. Copenhagen, who have not played any official matches since mid-December, cannot boast a good form. Even with a more serious game, I would expect a similar coefficient, but now I think that Napoli is given a high coefficient, not to mention that Copenhagen does not have many points and the match is crucial for Napoli to continue their fight in the Champions League.
I will take a pair of Barnes' bets from these matches, the double-double and Pts+Rebs Over bets. Barnes historically plays very well against the Lakers, making them one of his favorite opponents. He has averaged 24 PPG and 11 RPG in 6 games against this franchise. The Lakers team is one of those opponents that players always try harder against, but this season, it is even more possible to play well against them as they do not have a strong defensive team. Barnes could potentially dominate, especially since the Lakers lack a strong front line and overall are a weak team. His average for PTS REBS Total is 28.5 in the 6 games against the Lakers (34, 29, 41, 30, 48 and 30 in the past meetings). As for the double-double, there is also potential for Barnes to achieve it, along with assists, as he is a good playmaker.

Barnes historically plays very well against the Lakers, with 24 PPG and 11 RPG in 6 games against this franchise. The Lakers team is one of the most challenging opponents in his career, so Barnes tends to perform better against them. This season, there is an even greater potential for him to excel, as the team's defense is not very strong and Barnes can easily dominate. In his 6 previous games against the Lakers, he has averaged a total of 28.5 points and rebounds (34, 29, 41, 30, 48 and 30). There is also potential for him to achieve a double double with assists, as he is a good playmaker.
The game will take place in Tallinn, at the arena, so the weather should not be a problem. Moreover, it should be a typical friendly Estonian gathering where two lower division teams meet, with a lot of action, little tactics, and usually plenty of goals, especially when one of the teams consists of youth/reserve players.
Two interesting and solid teams, Como is even higher in the tournament table and beat Lazio 2-0 at home, so there is hope for good football and goals from this team, which is capable of scoring an average of 1.5 goals per game in the Serie A league. Lazio will surely fight for points at home, and they also play well and score a decent amount of goals. Both teams are strong and like to play offensively according to the given line, so I expect goals.
