Jilin performs well at home and has a streak of 4 wins at home against all top 8 teams. Shenzhen also plays well, with a streak of 6 wins in a row. The two teams have met once before and each won a game. Jilin appears to be in good form and certainly capable of playing again and defending their handicap.

Well, yes, Shanghai is obviously a better team in the league and has no equal. But sometimes they struggle away and I think the situation is not good for them to play. Shanxi plays very well at home, but they recently lost to Shanghai at home and were completely crushed by a 30 point difference. When playing at the same level with the same opponent, the situation can often turn completely the other way and I doubt that in the opponents' fortress they can easily get everything right again.

I simply believe that the Yandex team's tundra is a competitor of Nepal. Tundra already looks like a well-balanced team, and they start playing better as the tournament nears its end. Yandex is also reliant on the performance of one player. Therefore, I think the chances of tundra winning here are slightly better.

I don't think it will be easy for Siauliai to play against Nevėžis this year. They don't have a favorable opponent. Last time in Kėdainiai, Nevėžis easily dealt with them. In my opinion, it's a 50/50 situation, so I'm choosing the home team with a high odds.

I think there will be a lot of action here, more than what the odds suggest. The Scots are euphoric after qualifying for the tournament, and they will be fired up for their first game and also at Hampden Park, where they don't hold back and play passively unless the situation calls for it. Overall, the team has had some trouble with defense, but they have looked solid lately in the attack, especially at home, and that has earned them a spot in the tournament. I would say that the Japanese are also a good opponent, and we can expect another exciting offensive match. The visitors are not known for their defensive walls. They like to attack and score, but they often struggle with defense, especially against physical teams. They also have some weaknesses in defense. Overall, this could lead to a mismatch of styles where it will be difficult for either team to contain the other's strengths. In short, I don't think this will be a boring or dull match. Both teams are in good form and have offensive weapons that have performed well this season, so a total of three goals doesn't seem unreachable.

Euro U19 qualifiers.

The U19 format is strange, but it is what it is. Two separate qualifiers are played at the same time, first the Q stage and then the Q stage, so both of these teams played two matches within 3 days. In this group, the Czechs celebrated a 3-0 victory against Latvia, while Belgium played a 0-0 draw against Denmark. In the other group, Belgium won 2-0 against Estonia, and their youth team also defeated Cyprus 4-0. As always, I never trust the youth teams as they often have mistakes in defense, but the Danish offense is top class. When playing against each other, these youths only play friendly matches, but the tendency for high scoring games is evident since 2006 (according to statistics). These teams have played 7 times, with 6 matches ending with 4+ goals being scored, and 4 of them ended with 5+ goals. In 6 out of 8 of these matches, the scoring started in the first period with 2+ goals. The trend cannot be denied, no matter how rare or important the matches may be, so once again I am waiting for an over game between these two high-scoring teams.

In the first match, the Serbians managed to defeat the English with a score of 2:0, while the Portuguese struggled against Peru before ultimately winning against the Polish team. I had the opportunity to watch the Poland-Portugal game, and the Portuguese were not very effective against Peru. The Poles attacked and had many chances, while the Portuguese were more reserved and gained a bigger lead without showing a strong desire to attack. In the final stages, only one team will advance to the U19 championship, and both teams have a chance against Peru. I hope that both teams will play cautiously, and based on their performance in the first match, it seems logical to bet on the Serbians +1.0.

Lietka plays well, no matter how strangely this season may sound. The game against Rytas was abnormal, as there was no Bickauskis/Lavriko, so if they return today, with the return of Radzium and the arrival of an interesting center, the team will have a stellar rotation of 11 players. Neptunas let the game slip, the players' health is unclear, the pace of the game is completely uncontrollable, and there is a high potential for players to be sent in all directions. Lietka will compete and will definitely have just as strong, if not stronger, players both in terms of quality and quantity, than Iran.

You have to take the trophy, it will be played in your city, support will be huge, do not be afraid of the Belarusian players, the h2h is even. Sabalenka should be pumped up for the match, because so far she has had success both here and on the tour, but has not experienced such a strong competition and fan support as in this environment. For me, it is much more admirable to see Coco's journey to the final through difficulties, rather than Sabalenka's will, which will have to face psychological challenges.

Well, for such a player, 15 points total is really low and it must be taken, I believe. Fox is a star, of course, Spurs are a deep team with many scorers but Fox has been averaging 19 points this season and at least 15 points in 41 out of 63 games, which is two-thirds of the season. In the last couple of games, he didn't play well and only scored 14 points, but before that he had a streak of 9 games with 15+ points and easy opponents. The Bucks have already started their season without Giannis, so I think this game is a great opportunity for Fox to get back into rhythm. As I said, 15 points total for an All-Star is just too low, no matter how deep the team is, he can easily get it in one quarter.

Stone carving, World Championships in men's category, USA.. The Norwegians didn't forget about the Olympic Games, where they painfully lost the bronze medal (1-9) in a fight against today's opponent. Taking into account that they also lost the initial tournament matches to the Japanese, the latter are expected to put up a serious fight today. However.. Switzerland is making great progress, with both their men's and women's national teams being trained by specialists from Canada, the current World Champions! Today will not be easy for the Swiss, but they seem to be the more reliable team.)

About a month ago, I would have confidently predicted that Roche would take 8th place without any doubts, but now, with the final round approaching, even 4 teams have a chance to take that last playoff spot. Of course, if Roche loses, they will remain in 8th place. Roche has a 4-game losing streak, plus their second most valuable player Sahie is injured (11.7 points, 6.8 rebounds, 1.7 assists, and 14.5 efficiency).
Right now, Chartres has a 2-game winning streak and a sudden hope to unexpectedly make it to the playoffs. Theoretically, Roche could lose by up to 5 points and still maintain their advantage over Chartres.

Last regular season game. Landerneau will no longer change their position on the table, plus the coach is suspended for 3 technical fouls collected throughout the season, so they will not participate in the game. In Charnay's case, they could still move up one position and they are playing at home, so I hope for them in Peru.

ITF W Croissy-Beaubourg, indoors hard.."

"ITF Women's tournament in Croissy-Beaubourg, played on indoor hard courts.

In my opinion, Cholet should be the favorites here, taking into account the normal circumstances it could be a 50/50 game, but here ASVEL has just lost Watson after a double week. They seem tragic on away games, so this is another significant disadvantage for them. Cholet has caught their form, winning the last 5 home games and 5 away games, including the game against Bourg.
