At the moment, Palace's thoughts are probably more directed towards Europe because the security in PL is quite calm, and after a break in Italy, I think it is likely that we will see a slightly declining game curve and the opportunity to strengthen the strong West Ham team in the 2018 season. West Ham has definitely turned their fortunes recently and climbed out of the bottom three, and after a 4-0 victory over Peru, I believe they will be flying high and will take home some points from this game.
The Trier team is one of the most productive league teams with an average of 91.1 points in the BBL championship, while Bayern is slightly behind with a solid 87.5. In December, the teams scored a total of 177 points at Bayern's home, and I believe that the match will be even more productive this time around. Both teams are in good form, especially in their offensive game, so I expect a high-scoring match from two of the top teams in the league.
The Bonn team can hang on here, which this season plays tricky basketball and is able to dedicate this style of basketball to opponents. In November, at home, these teams met, with a tragic first period and ALBA scoring 16 points in Peru, but Bonn almost lost everything in the last 2 minutes and fought for a long time. Essentially, they only let the lead slip in the last 4 minutes. Although the biggest distance between the 3rd and 4th period in the first half reached 8 points at times. Despite being an away game, Bonn appears very solid in away games.
I had an incredible experience in our last match, finishing with 170 points. However, watching the game and seeing how Mega Bemax performed, it was lucky that we were able to catch up. The pace was good, but Split was the only team that was able to score points. In the 4th period, Bemax stepped up their game and managed to gather 74 points. I don't know if we could have played any worse, but playing at home, I hope to see a better quality of offense and defense, because they are definitely a stronger team than Split and one of the fastest in the ABA league.
I had an overi (game) in our last match, finishing with 170 points, but watching the game and how Mega Bemax looked, it was fortunate that we were able to score that much. The pace was good enough, but Split was the only team scoring points, getting 74 points in just the 4th period. I don't know if I could've played any worse, but playing at home, I anticipate a higher quality game in both offense and defense, as they are a much stronger team than Split and probably the fastest-paced team in the ABA league.
Hello.
NBA playoffs. Nuggets against Timberwolves. Let's go with DiVincenzo's 10.5 points over.
In the first game, he scored 12 points, making 9 shots (7 from beyond the arc). He is the most expressive shooter on the team, who will definitely have his chances when the main defensive focus is on Edwards, Randle, and Gobert. If there won't be too much hero ball from Edwards and Randle, I think he will definitely have multiple opportunities to score. His season average is 12.2 points with 10.2 shots made (7.9 from beyond the arc). After a difficult season and playoffs, Donte seems much better now, and before coming to Minnesota, he even averaged 17.8 points per game in the playoffs for the Knicks last year. He also knows how to assist when needed. Against Denver this season, he averaged 11.5 points. Good luck.
We need Yandex Peru already, of course in this tournament they are moving very slowly, but there is no team that has been showing any progress for a long time. Yandex is a very interesting team overall, one tournament they can sweep everyone and in another they manage to lose to weaker teams. The idea would be for Yandex to start choosing Peru if they want to move forward, and I believe it is quite possible before navi. So I am trying to join a better team in this overall context.
Hello.
NBA playoffs. CAVS vs. Raptors. Let's bet on Barnes scoring over 17.5 points.
Barnes and Ingram are the two main players on the Raptors team. I don't think it will be an easy series in terms of gameplay, and I expect some intense matches. In the first game, Quickley was not playing (he might play tonight) and Scottie scored 21 points. Against the Cavs, Scottie has been averaging 20 points, so this total seems very achievable. His season average is 18.1 points, which also fits under this total. Plus, his direct opponent on defense will be Wade, so I think he will get a lot of opportunities, while Mobley guards Ingram. Scottie is the key player the Raptors will rely on to win and in playoffs, stars tend to take more initiative than in regular season. 18 points is definitely a reasonable line. Good luck.
This is already a risky bet, but Moeller is underestimated because of his age and lack of experience, although he knows how to play on ground and can surprise. Yes, the start of the season is particularly difficult, but he has the potential to break a good streak at some point, and here we have an opponent, Gastonas, who is also not a weak player on ground, but not a monster to underestimate the young player. So considering the odds, I think it's worth taking the risk, if it's around 2~, then it's not worth it, but when it's 2.7, it's tempting to try it out.
Although Finland does not have a good season this year and clay is not his preferred surface, here in Madrid, where the cards are read very quickly when looking at the clay courts, it works to his advantage since he has a good serve and he likes hard surfaces, which gives him somewhat of an advantage. Despite this year looking quite good for him and facing other good players on clay courts. Droguet enjoys playing long rallies, but it will be much harder for him to maneuver his opponent here due to the different bounce of the ball. I do not underestimate the Frenchman, as he has had a good season and has beaten some powerful players, but I hope that the Finn will finally show his superiority on the faster surface.
Two teams that pleasantly surprise with their current opponents are Bournemouth, who have not lost 12 consecutive games and are strongly fighting for a spot in the Europa League next season. Leeds has pulled away from the relegation zone thanks to 6 unbeaten games and on top of that, secured a spot in the FA Cup semifinals where they have decent chances against an out-of-form Chelsea side. Both teams have been looking quite impressive on the attacking end, causing discomfort for the English elite with their recent performances, and they both love to score goals. In the 22-23 season, when they played each other in the EPL, Leeds won 4-3 against Bournemouth and lost 4-1 in the reverse fixture. This season, they are both back in the EPL and their first game ended in a 2-2 draw, perfectly reflecting how evenly matched these teams are. I am once again expecting an exciting game between them, and my prediction is a 4-2 win for Bournemouth.
Both one and the other fell out of Europe and can now focus on the culmination of the Spanish league, as both have something to fight for. Barça can win the league title, while Celta is fighting with the 6th team for the 5/6 places that would secure them a spot in the Europa League or the Conference League next season. Celta's problem is that their defense has been crumbling recently, as in their last 5 games they have conceded 2+ goals 5 times, and 3+ goals in 4 of those games... and now they will face Barcelona's offense, which could easily score 5 goals in a day. Celta's advantage is their offense, which has the power to punish, while Barça's defense always gives their opponents opportunities. My prediction is a 4-2 win for Barça.
The total for the competition is set at 3.5 cards, but I am taking a higher number because I believe it will increase to 3.5 before the competition. Taking it at 4.5 with such high odds offers a lot of value. Chelsea's season is close to a disaster, with their Champions League spot slipping away. If they do not start collecting points soon, they will not have a spot in the Europa League either. 9 teams are fighting for this spot, including 6th place Chelsea and 14th place Newcastle, who are separated by only 6 points. Among these 9 teams are also Brighton, who are only 1 point behind Chelsea. Both Brighton and Chelsea are aggressive teams, and this should lead to a high number of cards in the competition.
Since Lasas arrived, Efes has at least improved their game and after two strong losses, I hope for a comeback. The opponent is favorable, playing streetball.
Completely unlike himself, Arnaldi, playing tragic tennis, meets with the clay expert, Lajovic. I do not see a reason why the Italian should magically start playing well and win the match. I believe the Serb will give the youth good lessons on how to play tennis on sand. The experience, court surface, and form are on the Serb's side.
West Ham is fighting for survival in the league, as they are currently in a dry spell, but only 1 point away from Tottenham. The biggest problem for West Ham this season is their defense, as they have been unable to keep a clean sheet and often concede 2+ goals. Palace's season has been strange, with the sale of key players and their coach announcing his departure at the end of the season. They have also reached the semifinals of the Conference League... Palace is a safe place in England, but now their focus is on Europe, and playing every 3 days takes a toll on the team, especially since their main CB Lacroix, who has been a key player this season, was sold to Guehi. The matches between these two teams at Palace's stadium are very high-scoring, with the last 5 meetings having 4+ goals scored 4 times and 5+ goals scored 4 times... Considering how both teams are playing now, I expect a minimum of 2-2.
Both teams had to work hard to reach the semifinals, Kobe came back from a 3-1 deficit against Al Hilal and won after penalty kicks, Al Ahli came back from a 0-1 deficit and won 2-1 (despite having a red card). Al Ahli has a strong contribution from well-known European players, the majority of whom are dangerous in the attack, making them a threatening team. Kobe relies on local players, but they never give up and play at a high level, making them a dangerous team. Once again, I see a close match between both teams and a tougher fight than the bookies expect. My guess would be a 3-2 win for Al Ahli.
Club Brugge reached the final by being underdogs both against Atletico Madrid (4-0) and against Benfica (3-1), but that says a lot about their youth and that they cannot be underestimated. Real Madrid has been showing stellar form throughout the tournament, but they barely made it to the final, needing a 85th-minute equalizer against PSG in the quarterfinals. Brugge will go into this game with their heads held high, knowing that they have beaten them in the last two rounds. Real will come into this game fired up and will do everything to avoid a repeat of the semifinal scenario, I see both teams scoring but my prediction is Real to win at least 3-1.
