It's worth playing against Sorribes Tormo even if Kasatkina on the other side is very unstable. The Spaniard played two days in a row three long sets and it won't be easy for her in the morning. Kasatkina 2:0.
Teams play equally, Greeks have a comfortable position, I see the reason why the series should end dryly. Financial support, I believe, is also important for the Greeks, so why not play two games at home. Another aspect is that Gianakopoulos is forbidden to attend the nearest three matches, which means it would be more beneficial to lose at least one match, then in the final he could already be at the arena as the owner.
No matter how unstable and fluctuating the Limoges team may be, their lineup looks almost comical. Le Portel club is simply dominating all other teams in the league. Currently, the team has a tragic 22 point deficit and has lost 12 consecutive games. It is an interesting fact that Le Portel was the only team to beat Limoges this season. Currently, only supported by young players, Le Portel club is extremely weak and just trying to finish the season. Limoges, on the other hand, may also be in a similar situation as they will not make it to the playoffs, but they need to crush this team and the players know that their statistics can improve in such games.
The highly energized and successful team, Paris, collects astronomical numbers in the local arena - an average of 98.5 points per game, while Chalon's results are less impressive at 85.5. Recently, Chalon has been playing particularly productively and has achieved such a total in two consecutive games, making their chances of extending the streak against a team like Paris quite high. Paris is no longer playing in the Euroleague and after being eliminated, they conceded 192 points against Cholet, so I expect a high-scoring game between them, especially since Paris conceded 107 points to them in October. Therefore, I think the line is boldly in favor of Peru.
Even though Juventus team has a new strategy, they are unable to inject life into this team. They continue to lose and when there are no chances to climb higher, the team simply vegetates. Neptunas, on the other hand, is fighting for third place and is a much stronger team, as they have already proven in all three LKL matches this season. Neptunas has a two-game losing streak and they can expect better performance, while from Juventus we can only expect worse results.
LAL is leading 3:2, but the Rockets have taken the initiative in the series by winning two games in a row, relying on strong defense and a slower game pace. Both teams struggle in offense, so the 6th game should be played in a controlled, physically intense pace, with limited ball control. As the pressure and unpredictable scoring increases, it is likely to be another low scoring game.
The Pistons played the fifth game of the series much more assertively than in the previous ones, therefore they managed to snatch 49 balls compared to 33 before, 16 of which were in offense. If they are able to play with the same intensity in the 6th game, I believe they will definitely push for the 7th game. Cunningham scored an impressive 45 points in the 5th game and it's no surprise that he was mentioned as a potential MVP this season. I think the Pistons played well enough in the regular season for their season to end in the first round.
After losing the opportunity to break through in the fifth match of the series, the Raptors return home tonight, aiming to stay in the series. So far, the home team has won all five matches, and the Raptors have now won 10 out of their last 11 games at their arena. Raptors star Scottie Barnes is no longer included in the list of injured players. The Cavaliers duo of Mitchell and Harden have underperformed in both away games and generally have an insufficiently impressive record in crucial moments of the playoffs.
A high coefficient for Ghana is given here for Dundalk, taking into account the situation on the table. This team holds the 3rd place and is currently solidly fighting for Europe and at home with a record of 4 wins, 2 draws, and 0 losses in front of their fans. The Shelbourne team tragically occupies the 3rd to last place, tied in points with the last place team and also with a streak of 4 losses. At the moment, Dundalk should be able to gather all 3 points.
Belgium. The final is just three days away. The host team is considered the most titled and solid in the country, but had a tough time in the semi-finals, winning the series 2-1. In the semi-finals against VC Maaseik, they did not lose a single set and clearly dominated their opponent. However... today is the first match of the final series, where Roeselare must start with a win at home.
Belgian is often underestimated, even though Zverev is in good shape, but when it comes to the Belgian, he had some really strong opponents who seemed like they could take a scalp from him, but they didn't succeed. The Belgian is known for his experience, but he shouldn't be completely written off, as this young player doesn't seem to care about authorities. He is an extremely aggressive player, with a strong stroke, and can definitely win at least one set and take it to TB, where the element of luck comes into play. In my opinion, the Belgian is being underestimated in general.
This is a much safer game total, but in my opinion, the Frenchman has been underestimated. It's not easy to play against Sinner when your main weapon is serving, but Fill's strength is inhuman and should save him. Although the Italian is good at controlling the pace of the game, he has inferior weapons compared to the Frenchman, but I find it hard to believe he will easily defeat an opponent who is playing their better tennis. I will also try the over 10.5 games in the first set with a very good odds.
Such a much more cautious total of games, but in my opinion, the Frenchman has been underestimated. The fact is, it's not easy to play against Sinner when your main weapon is serves, but still, Fils' strength is inhuman and should save him. Although the Italian knows how to control the pace of the game and has over weapons against the Frenchman, I find it hard to believe that he will easily defeat an opponent who is playing their best tennis.
