This year, the French player had good performances and in my opinion, he should win against Michelsen, who can also show a good game and expect a three-set battle. The American often demonstrates good performance in his home country and looks very strong on hard courts, but he still lacks consistency. It won't be easy for him to play against Humberto due to his strong serves and I believe he will not be able to withstand a three-set match.
World Cup qualifiers. Two attacking teams meet here. As always, France has a great offense, full of talent and stars, so it's clear that they will attack from the beginning and try to make a difference in their offense. It may not be wise to expect open football from the poles, but one thing is certain – they are weak in defense, so I don't believe they will be able to withstand France's attack and it will be extremely difficult for them to only rely on their defense. On the other hand, with a star like Pajor leading their offense, they will surely try to take advantage of her speed and technique, which she is known for. In recent years, France's defense has also not been outstanding. I believe it will be a lively game with many opportunities and most likely, goals.
Jonava plays without defense and there will definitely be no problems for Žalgiris in the attack, and Jonava's club also looks good in the attack. Choosing Jonava club at 85.2 points, it has already played against Žalgiris and has such a points line, and overall I don't expect a good defense from Žalgiris after a double week, and we will realistically see a big rotation from the champions and by that time points will be seen.
Teams that are very productive and enjoy playing together consistently collect large numbers in offense. After a double week, Dubai will be tired, so their defense won't be fresh, and Cedevita can take advantage of that, not to mention that I believe basketball will be fast and productive, which is beneficial for both teams.
In the cup, Pao crushed these opponents with 30 points, and at home they won by 15 points in the league. Now, after losses during the double Euroleague week, we can only hope for a secure performance from Pao to prevent the leadership from getting angry. Anyone can play basketball, but Pao's handicap is enormous and we will see how they handle it. I believe they will confidently manage the negative situation.
Neither in form. If Siniakova is still able to pass one or two stages, then Fernandez Leylah is completely similar this season to Navarro or Haddad, just can't recognize any mistakes, not even many double faults. It's rare for Canada to overcome the first stage this season, plus her height is quite low, so if there is no game quality, she has no chance at all.
Recently, Krueger Ashlyn has significantly improved her game. In the first round, she played with a Polish player Linnete practically without making any mistakes, and even managed to outplay her despite her efforts. She is also a decent receiver. Her smashing shots are very strong, and she often wins the points with her next shot. Krueger is known for her consistent jumps, which allows her to compete against higher-ranked players as the underdog and even advance to later rounds in tournaments. She has already proven herself by defeating Rybakina, Noskova, Kostiuk, and other high-caliber players. Meanwhile, Samsonova is going through some tough times, as well as other Russian players. She might have some local support, as she is a high-level player, but her game is quite unstable and prone to errors, despite her good shots and serves. She struggles at times to stay composed.
Catalonia will play without defender Andreas Christensen, Gavi and Frenkie de Jong - all of them are injured. Robert Lewandowski, suffering from eye pain, returned to training wearing a mask and will be able to play in the matches.
The total has dropped significantly, so it's worth a try. Napoli played Virtus in the quarterfinals of their last game, finishing with 156 points, but the pace was very good there. Virtus lacked accuracy from 3PT (18%), while Napoli only managed to shoot 37% from the game. In recent times, Virtus doesn't seem to be performing well defensively, with a decent pace from both teams, and the total seems a bit low considering their abilities and the basketball being played.
A fairly high coefficient for a stronger team. Pauli as the outsider in the league, but they also need points to compete for European tournaments. They won at home against Frankfurt and now even a pretty good form on Pauli's side is not feared, and I believe this coefficient is definitely being taken into consideration.
Lyon is a very good team, which has been performing very well lately. They have a strong offense and weak defense, which creates favorable conditions for high-scoring games. Paris is not to be underestimated and even managed to play a 3-3 game against Lyon at home, so the upcoming match will not be an easy one.
A successful game in the Conference league and cup to defeat the eternal vice-champions Hajduk. Good form and gameplay allow us to hope for a victory from Rijeka against the complete underdogs of the league. Vukovar definitely won't lose all of the matches, but they seem to perform worse each time, so the much stronger team should win.
Great season and solid performance in every tournament and the last two Peru matches seemed like a solid option. Good coefficient and the last meeting specifically on the American hard surface make it tempting to risk, against a weak-looking Czech team.
Monaco has a lot of problems, finances, lack of players, issues between the coach and players, players being upset, and it all shows on the court. James and Okobo's acquisition will not really help the team.
Cholet has a pretty decent team with a good amount of talent, and I believe they can put up a fight.
Three dry Peruvian tournaments against each other from the Brit's side, and the only decent tournament this year does not show trust from McDonald. The American is weak and unpredictable, and Norrie is very unfavorable for him, so Peru seems very convincing.
Wrexham usually plays at a higher pace at home, is able to impose their game and create a fair amount of opportunities. The visitors' attack is not bad, but playing away allows their opponents to create quite a few xG. Considering their decent attacking form and home advantage, choosing them as the winner in this match seems like a logical choice.
Aston Martin enters the season as tourists for now. The team doesn't even have a car that can complete the entire race distance without breaking down. It's possible that they won't even start, in which case bets will be refunded. If they do start, the question is who will be able to drive over the finish line. It's basically a coin toss. I'm taking the 3 coefficient, which in this case is the value.
