The Miami season has been tragic, but the last few games against the Falcons 10-34 show that they can still make a comeback. Baltimore is often considered a favorite but is facing a tragic season, largely due to the injury of starting QB L.Jackson who will be playing today after missing four previous games. His return will awaken the sleeping Ravens' offense, who have lost their heads on defense...
The first match ended 3:1 for the Devils against Peru, but I think the score will be different here. The Sharks are always struggling on defense, but they are strong on the offense, and the Devils are currently the top scoring team in the league. The San Jose team is conceding an average of 4.6 goals per game and gives up an average of 31 shots, making their power play defense one of the worst in the league. The Devils will have Allen back in goal tonight, replacing Markstrom who let in 8 goals two nights ago, but I still believe this will be a classic high-scoring match against the Sharks.
Although he may not have a big role, he certainly gets a lot of time to showcase his skills when playing against league leaders. I believe we can expect a good game from him, especially since OKC doesn't have any equal opponents and in this match, the young player should feel right at home. Although he may be looking for more team support, he has a lot of potential and despite a disappointing season so far, when the Wizards are not defending well, he should have an easier time and perform well in this season's match.
I think it will be a tough battle and we could reach the 23rd game here. We need to play at least 6:4 and 7:5 in order to return in good shape, and if we can win with 7:5 7:5, then we have a chance. And if it's a best of three sets, then we can say with 100% certainty that we will win. As for the players, both play good tennis and I don't see anyone as an easy winner. It will be a close fight and an equal game, which will lead to success in reaching the over.
This year they already had one decent performance against Washington, Orlando is traveling and playing quite fast basketball, so with all their abilities I think they can make some noise today. The match is in the first hour of the night, admins please don't get upset if I break the rules.
For the third time in a row I am playing against Canada. We have already played three sets and I don't know where all this energy is coming from, but I think it's nearing the end. Vacherot has won 10 consecutive Masters tournaments in Peru, and even managed to defeat opponent after opponent in Shanghai Masters. But Canada has played 15 matches this month already, I doubt he can handle another one. If he hadn't broken down psychologically, he would have won. Muller had many chances to beat him, but Canada pulled through, it must be his lucky month. Vacherot is at the peak of his career, a local hero, with overwhelming support. The central court is full of light. This month alone, French hands have knocked out Bublik, Machac, Griekspoor, Rune, Djokovic, Lehecka, and Norrie. A multitude of top ten players.
Baskonia finally shines a little. Efes has been a disappointment this season and I don't expect much from them unless they strengthen their team. It's unclear what's happening with Jones, he played only 20 seconds in the previous game. Osmani is running after his injury for more than 30 minutes. Baskonia has picked up Kobi Simmons, who looks quite good. TLC is having a good season so far and doesn't seem to be stopping anyone. Diallo is also playing well. Finally, the Spaniard brings tangible benefits. I think the home court advantage will be a serious factor here, Efes has always been weak away and Baskonia can also make a big statement in their own arena.
Worlds 2025. First round of playoffs. The coefficients are equal, even though theoretically the AL should be the favorites. But I'm going with T1. Last year, everyone underestimated them, but it all ended with them winning the Worlds for the umpteenth time. T1 has never lost to an LPL team in the world championship. In general, T1 is on a different level at Worlds than usual. The biggest difference between the teams, I would say, is in the jungle, because Tarzan is just a superstar, but if Oner plays even decently, everything will be in their favor. AL's bot lane doesn't stand a chance, and Hope is the weakest link on the team. T1's support (Keria) has been performing poorly at these Worlds and it's time for him to step up. T1 is always a monster in BO5 playoffs, even when they are considered the underdogs, so I'm expecting them to sweep AL, at least taking one map. That's why I'm going with a 3-1 score in favor of T1.
Both players reached very good forms at the end of the season. Both have a similar speed in serving, maybe Cirstea has a slightly more emphasized serve, but Fernandez Leylah moves exceptionally well on the court and makes very few unforced errors, which could be her main strengths. Another aspect that will undoubtedly have an influence is that Cirstea from Romania is already 35 years old, 12 years older than her opponent, which could result in her losing a set by a larger margin and affecting the final result, especially if it comes down to three sets.
The only downside in their head-to-head matches a couple of weeks ago was a 2-1 win for Fernandez Leylah, but there's also a good aspect in that Cirstea was leading 3-1 in the third set and had the serve, but lost it 4-6. So it shows that she is not able to maintain a more intense match.

However, there is also a positive aspect here, as Cirstea was leading 3-1 in the third set and had her serve, but she lost the set 4-6. This means she did not manage to keep up the intensity in the match.
In a double week, the home factor plays an even more important role than usual. In past seasons in the Euroleague, guest teams often experienced blowouts during double weeks. Olympiacos, with a very strong lineup, home arena, and support, played a major role after their victory against Monaco. Hapoel is solid, but lacks experience in such matches and physicality, which Oly can bring to the table.
We need to once again take a common over with the Basques. We were lucky with Dubai that they went over, but the game was not as expected. More precisely, the pace was slow and more favorable for Dubai. We get the same total as with Dubai, but Efes is a faster and more talented team at the moment. They have players like Papagiannis who are more suited for a fast-paced game. If the Basques play at their usual pace, we can expect 180+ points here.
Baskonia finally won the Euroleague, but we should not expect that this Spanish team will now easily defeat Peru. The first game against Peru is very important, but Efes seems to be a much better team. Although the Turkish club is not very consistent, they have been playing very well lately. I think the odds are good for Efes against Peru.
Getafe, which looks quite good for now, seems to be doing very well at home. The match against Real was lost only due to red cards, and all other matches were good, not to mention the away victory against Bilbao in the last round. The home team, which has a lot of potential, will face total outsiders Girona. With 1 victory so far and only at home, it shows that Getafe should do well.
It's time to seek revenge. After two losses in the previous season, Dortmund is not looking good again this season against Augsburg team. With 20 goals conceded and even though 6 were conceded in the last round, the team is struggling to score goals, which Dortmund must take advantage of. The good form and only 2 losses last season, I believe, will allow Dortmund club to come out on top.
Over (Moses Wright - Nando De Colo bendras points Total over 23,5) @-118 8/10
The simple average of points statistically is 27.5, from our team's green side, our defenders are not strong defensive players, such as Glenas and Nando who score points. On the contrary, from the green side, Asvel's level and quality of center are not very strong, the main center at the moment is Vautiuer, here is also an option to choose points.
The Romanian league, Din Bucuresti welcomes Cluj and opts for the BTS option. This year's matches with Cluj have been very goal-oriented, as the team, which we have seen at the top of the table, currently occupies the 13th place due to poor defense, but their attack has scored 19 goals in 14 matches, while conceding 26, which should not be a problem for the hosts who are currently in 4th place. Cluj has only scored once in an away game this year, while Bucuresti has only failed to score in two home games. I believe an open and goal-oriented match is expected from both teams.
Championship, Wrexham welcomes league leaders Coventry and I am going with BTS. Both teams are playing productively this season, Coventry is on fire as they have already scored 34 goals in 12 matches, meanwhile Wrexham is slightly below with 16 goals in 12 matches. Overall, there was only one game this season when they didn't score. Wrexham's biggest question is if they will be able to score, as Coventry's attack is playing at an astronomical pace. Wrexham is playing at home and I believe they will give the league leaders a tough match. I am expecting an open game with goals from both sides.
The league rookies are still not winning any league matches. They are currently tied with Milan, Fiorentina, and Atalanta, but not with Peru. It is only a matter of time before the team wins, but I don't believe it will be against Lazio. Despite a poor start to the season, Lazio has been playing well lately, and when they don't have to play in Europe, the team can fully focus on Serie A matches. As usual, a decent lineup and weak opponent show that Lazio should achieve a positive result.
