While both teams are having a bad season, the Pelicans are feeling more positive. With Zion's return, the team has been showing progress, winning all their games since his return and even beating the Bulls last time. The Grizzlies are struggling with injuries and key rotation players like Ja Morant are still out. The question is whether Zach Edey will play. In my opinion, it's a 50/50 game and the Pelicans have a good chance to win. That's why the odds seem attractive to me.
Another option for the lower leagues in Europe. Slovan, a complete outsider, is hosting the strong Rayo club. The Spanish club has not been a pushover in La Liga this season and is making extra efforts in Europe as well. Slovan is not a weak team and this is reflected in the high odds given to Rayo. I believe this choice is not without reason.
A very interesting variant from the Europa League, the Rangers club, a complete disaster this season, continues to play tragically. They have lost all 4 Europa League matches and are currently in 5th place in Scotland. While Braga is not a super mega club, they do feel focused in Europe, where they have only lost points in their last matches. Portugal's Braga may also appear better, but looking at these matches, in every aspect Braga is much stronger and only an unexpected event may prevent them from winning.
Knowing that Houston has a number of injured players: Adams and Durant will not participate in the game due to personal reasons, so Sengun should have his hands free. Of course, there is a big risk, but in one game he has already made 30 shots, which is a rare occurrence, but I think he could make more today due to the current circumstances. Of course, the total score is high, but it is possible to make some profit with such odds, as someone will have to take the initiative, although there are several supporting players. In my opinion, Golden State is very vulnerable in the paint at the moment.
I believe these upcoming matches will be highly anticipated by many, and it's understandable that the bookmakers know what they offer in such games. However, I believe there will be many different scenarios to choose from. Both teams are strong and don't concede much, but Bayern has a tendency to consistently beat the handicap. Arsenal also often score high totals at home. Gabriel's recent injury is important, as he is a key player for one of the top central defenders in the EU at the moment. It's a shame that Luis Diaz won't be playing.
Much stronger, so it seems like they are trying to fix mistakes in defense, but in some ways it means that their attacking force is completely asleep, which already looks a bit pitiful, when during a match you could create a chance worth one goal, and even larger handicaps are possible, but stay calm.
Real and Mbappe in the attacking line like to crush weaker opponents, and even though the Frenchman was injured, he played over the weekend, so I believe he will also play and try to score. I do not have confidence in the Greek club, even though they are playing at home and both Arsenal and Barcelona confidently defeated Olympiacos at home, so Real should do the same away.
Even Eintracht beats German club standards and lets in a lot of goals, and it is not uncommon to see a 7-goal thriller in their matches. Atalanta, although an Italian club, also knows how to score and concede, and the match against Frankfurt must be played with a fast-paced and productive style.
