I am drawing the Eastern line, because only such a score really suits the East. At home, Rytas plays very well and can beat any team, even from the Euroleague 😁 The changes in the team have boosted Rytas, but determination and great desire always accompany the Rytas team from Vilnius.
Although 3 and 6 group stages teams will meet, I don't see such a big difference between these teams. Both teams like to play a point-based basketball and there should not be a big gap between these teams. The playoffs from these games will bring a lot of intrigue, and even though the Romanian club will play away, they have a very good chance to win.

Everyone knows all the problems both with the greens and with pAO. The fact that Tubelis and Birutis are traveling together to Athens, I think it won't bring much. Both of them don't perform at their best.
Knowing that Zalgiris falls under a hot pAO hand, losing their recent games in the EL, with a full arena and sold out, I don't see any chances for the greens to fight for the win.
There's not even anything to say about the superior pAO lineup. It's just a different level. Everyone is back, including Lessortas.
Knowing all the problems that Monaco has been going through recently, it's not surprising that they are not doing well even from a distance. There are internal disagreements in Monaco and players are leaving the team. The last couple of games were played perfectly by Oly, and I believe they will continue this streak. The Serbian player is back from his injuries, and nobody else has any major injuries. They also handle the ball well, both in attacking and defending. If Monaco wins here - I end my career as a predictor.
Even though Sigma team unexpectedly lost in the 16th final, now the Germany club has to put everything together on their shelves. Even though there has been no support from the Mainz club in Peru recently, the game was good and played against top Germany league teams, so Peru looks particularly impressive against the Czech club.
A solid and stronger Shakhtar club should already look better from the first away match against Lech. After returning from Peru, the Ukrainian championship allows for expectations of good and stable form from the Donetsk club, and the home matches are also played in Ukraine. For them, this is not something new in the Conference League as they play at the Krakow Stadium.
In this pair, there is a clear favorite, who I think has already shown it since the first away match. Braga is in good form, although they have not been very lucky in terms of victories in recent matches, they are still able to defeat or at least not lose to stronger teams. Therefore, I also believe that they will perform successfully against Ferencvaros.
Well, here the total is not very big when Manresa plays, here we can expect high-quality matches in the offense. The only downside is Turk Telekom's good defense, although it hasn't always been effective this season. In any case, the Turkish offense has a very solid rating. And Manresa is a fully attacking team, so it's not difficult to collect points against them. The Spanish team has a decent offensive rating, but at the same time, their defense is poor.
A hot Champions League evening is approaching and tonight we have a repeat of the CWC Final in Paris. Let's try to go with Over, both teams are full of attacking talent, and even though PSG haven't been in top form lately, I think we will see them closer to their season's best version, considering that this is already the Champions League Round of 16 and the opponent is a tough nut to crack. Even with their own instability, Chelsea may even win this match, as they know how to step up against stronger teams when playing. PSG's defense has not been elite lately, especially without Donarumma in goal, they have not been as successful as last season in some matches. Chelsea's defense has also been brittle this season, especially without Colwill in the center. I believe it will be an open and exciting match, with PSG dominating possession but Chelsea creating their own opportunities. I am expecting to see some goals.
Myanmar. Dagon Port has recently gained very good form, taking two wins against their table neighbors, scoring 5 goals in both matches and now climbing out of the relegation zone. Their defense is still a constant problem, with goals conceded in both matches, and not just once, but in recent years they have focused more on their attack. Today, Peru is a necessary opponent and I have no doubt that Port will not change anything. I would say the opponent is quite favorable, as ISPE is not fighting for anything and in recent years Ghana seems to have given up, especially on defense, conceding goals in a row from everyone, although sometimes their attack brings in some points. I would say adventurous football could work well for Port in this match. Another positive thing is that for this match, Port has once again received the main national stadium, so the quality of the pitch should not be a problem for Peru, which is quite a sensitive issue in the league. All that's left is to not fail in their finishing.
Knights, a team struggling for yet another season, looks tragically apart from the first games. The level of players is poor, many of them have gathered already at the start of the season. The goalkeeper is weak, it seems like he is even playing against himself. Joyful often starts seasons well. The coefficient is good, let's try.
In all 6 games of this season, including friendly matches, Riteriai have been very productive and achieved such a goal line. Džiugas also plays very productively and often reaches this goal limit, so there should be goals between them as well.
There are a lot of injuries, a very poor coach at Real and a very poor form of playing does not give any hope that Real can even resist City at home. In this season, City has already won in the Spanish group stage, so they seem to be a much stronger team here as well.
Although they may be underdogs, this pair is built in my eyes for successful basketball. Many have already seen the Romanians, as they played in the same group as Neptunas. They play with the same wild and running style, oriented towards offense rather than defense, at a good pace. In my eyes, Buducnost is a much more serious and ambitious team, capable of going far. One of the better offensive teams in Eurocup, they create a good atmosphere at home and have great results. Both groups have at least 6 teams of a similar level, and Buducnost will fight for top positions, while Napoca managed to secure the 6th place.
