I think it's possible to take a risk here. Zverev has never had a chance against Sinner on hard courts in his entire career, but they faced each other twice on clay courts and the score was 1-1. Zverev was the one who won at Monte Carlo. Zverev is currently playing great tennis and he could put up a good fight today and make it to the finals. Sinner, on the other hand, has only played in Miami after the tournament in Peru, and while he is a clear-cut player, he sometimes struggles while playing so much.
In 13 days, the fifth match in Tenerife will take place, with an average age of about 34, and the best players being over 37, it will be difficult not only to attack, but also to defend. Girona is in pretty good form right now, scoring a lot of points. Tenerife is waiting for the crucial Champions League match on Wednesday. Although the ACB situation is not ideal, if the veterans can hold on, they might not have to rely too much on defense today.
In 13 days, the fifth competition for Tenerife will begin. With the average age being around 34 and some players even as old as 37, it will not only be difficult to attack, but also to defend. Girona is currently in good form, scoring many points. On Wednesday, Tenerife awaits the decisive competition in the Champions League. Although the situation in the ACB is not ideal, if the elder players hold their ground, they may not struggle too much with defense today.
The playoff variant between both teams was more statistical, all the matches were overin, in the playoffs somehow all the points got mixed up and it's a bit dizzying, but the average is over 100 points. Vilkaviskis had a good form and defeated Siliute with a score of 3-0, also averaging around 95 points. On defense, they allowed an average of around 90 points. Overall, looking at statistics, this playoff is clearly an overi.
Two super offensive teams in this league meet, so we're taking BTS. Of the 7 teams that have scored at least 60 goals in the Championship, both Soto and Derby have done so this season. The importance of today's match is huge, with the home team practically securing a spot in the playoffs already. For the visiting team, Peru is a must-win, so I believe they will focus on their offense and the game should be open to many goals. Derby is generally very productive in away games, with 31 goals scored in 20 games played but also a similar number conceded.
It is highly unlikely for me to believe that Arsenal will fake it at the end of the season. The opponent is tricky, but they should do their job in front of their own fans. Arsenal at Emirates this season is playing very confidently and scattering points only for the top 6 teams - United, City, and Liverpool. I think they should seriously raise the morale of the club against Sporting because, after all, the win was hard to come by, and the squad is deep enough to overcome potential fatigue and injuries, especially since they played on Tuesday and had some rest. I believe it will end 2-0.
In this season, the Fenerbache team in the second division of the league doesn't concede as many goals as they did last season, but recently the team has been playing very productively, focusing only on the Turkish league. They are facing an opponent with the worst defense in the league, currently on a 6-game streak of conceding 3 or more goals against Fenerbahce. In their last 4 games, Fenerbache has scored at least 3 goals, making this option statistically and practically very convincing.
Although Ajax team currently has a 3-game losing streak, it is a great time to not only celebrate a victory against Peru, but also to win with a solid margin. The worst team in the league, whose defense is weak, is a great opportunity for Ajax team to redeem themselves, not to mention that the team is fighting for a spot in the next season's European tournament. This year, they have lost 10 out of 13 games, and the fact that only 2 were with a goal difference of less than 2 shows how flawed Heracles is, and this club is particularly favorable for Ajax, who also has a 6-game winning streak against them.
It is time to once again benefit from Fenerbahçe. Despite their good form and amazing lineup, their dominant football does not give any hope that the top club can struggle against Kayserispor. Kayserispor, fighting for survival, has one of the worst offenses in the league and the worst defense, which I believe Fener will take advantage of and celebrate a secure victory, even away from home.
Away games. Lattes can lose by 7 points. Breen (9.5 pts, 6reb) has been out for three weeks. At home, they won 73-66, scoring 13/23 on 3PTs, while Landerneau only made 6/28. At their own home, Landerneau can definitely do better, as this season they have only lost twice at home, to league leaders Landes and Bourges.
As I saw in both games, Potapova is riding the wave in this tournament. Maybe even changing citizenship to Austrian, she feels like a local 😁 , I think even the viewers have some sympathy and support for her. Very good game from Potapova with Korpatch, then with the local Tagger who played perfectly in the first set but Potapova managed to win the tiebreak. She practically makes no unnecessary errors, as she did before, which surprised me. She handles the episodes well and plays confidently.
Vekic played against Pliskova, as much as I watched, it was one of the blankest matches I've seen here. Too many mistakes and poor movement, Vekic collected quite a few double faults from her serve. So I don't see her as a favorite at all.

Recently victorious in Bosnia, Bosna team now has another win at home. Igokea is an interesting and not bad team, but currently they are in poor form and have only won once at home in the group of strongest teams, making Bosna the strong favorite. Bosna has also demonstrated their strength against Cluj in the lower European cup tournament, so I believe they should perform even better at home now.
Last year, Vukic beat his opponent on grass, and this year he even defeated him on a hard court 2-0, so it's time for him to prove his superiority on clay as well. In February, he even beat an Australian 6-2 6-2, and overall Vukic is young and hungry. It is very rare for him to have a chance in ATP tournaments, but he still gives his best effort even in qualifiers, surprising or at least challenging his opponents. Vukic seems completely exhausted, and clay is not his strong suit as he has been in the negatives for three years now. His loss to a weak player in Morocco suggests that he may not be worth paying attention to on clay, so even though the odds are low, it's safe to bet against him in sets or even games.
