Olympics, women's.. Group B team duel. Important points for both teams, fighting for third place in the group, which gives them the opportunity to continue competing in the tournament. I think Italy will outplay their game here (they confidently beat France). Japan has not fully revealed themselves yet, they have potential, maybe they lack a bit of performance. I believe in this important match, they will be the Draw no Bet opponents.
The teams playing at a high pace in the ABA league are collecting impressive numbers on offense. One major difference between the teams is their style, and as a result, we can expect serious basketball, as their serious basketball is a kind of point race. Both teams throw out 60+ shots per game and reaching the 90-point mark is a calm day at the office. Even though the games are important, and after two games, the teams' offensive abilities and Partizan's home handicap are giving hope that the home team will fight and play just as productively as Dubai.
Although Maccabi and the leaders in this league stage have only managed to escape the bottom by 1 point, after a double week, the Turkish Maccabi team should feel strong. With injuries, Maccabi cannot boast of a long or strong bench, and Israel has recently had rare large differences. although the Raanana team wins very few games and has experienced losses by large margins, it is still a fighting team and maintains distance, so I do not expect a complete defeat.
Both players are not in their best form, but Tjen Janice still grasps onto something, this Indonesian's main surface is hard, plus the tournament is in Asia. Tjen reached the highest career points in the WTA rankings, and knows how to play on hard surfaces. Brazil's Beatriz Haddad Maia is completely unrecognizable in recent years, it seems like everything is going wrong for her. She has only had two wins this season and has been playing as a lucky loser. Only five matches this season, with one win against a local player with no ranking. This would also be a good bet with a 2-0 set score.
In the penultimate stage of group matches, Hilal Peru secures the first place. With Benzema's arrival, Hilal becomes an even stronger team, and even without him, the club has won all 6 games. With a highly qualified coach and the majority of the main lineup consisting of top-level players suitable even for European giants, Hilal managed to strengthen their team and now appears as a clear favorite in the upcoming match with a high coefficient, especially when their opponents also have many non-local players, but their level is significantly lower compared to the Saudi Arabian club.
I think it is possible to test out the Milan team against the weakest team in the league. After 2 consecutive losses, Italy Milan finally has a win and the opponent is realistically better. The Treviso team often loses to very strong teams by double-digit margins, and they also celebrated a victory with a 24-point difference against Milan on the road. After two good performances in the Euroleague and in good spirits, I expect the Milan team to secure a win.
Although local player Barrena, who has already played 3 tournaments on clay this season, is considered a serious opponent for Kopriva based on rankings, he does not seem to be. Even though Argentina struggles in the Challenger league, he will be defeated by a very solid Czech player who plays well on clay. Even though Vitas is playing on clay for the first time this season, as a skilled tennis player, he should dominate and celebrate a victory against Peruvian opponent.
Despite not having played a single match in this tournament, Goffin is considered an outsider, but the Italian has only played in the OA qualifiers, so he doesn't have the advantage of match practice. Personally, I don't see the advantage for the Italian, especially since he is normally seen as a clay player, while the Belgian has a good chance of winning on hard courts. Of course, in a challenger tournament like this, motivation is always difficult, but with 125 ATP points at stake (half of an ATP 250 tournament), it's no joke. The Belgian is a solid tennis player who can play extremely well during these moments, and in my opinion, should have no trouble defeating the Italian.
One of the stronger ATP clay court players, Djere begins his clay season and an interesting opponent awaits him right after the final. I think the veteran is heavily underrated, as the Serbian can play very well on this surface, especially since he arrives here after the final of a Challenger tournament in the same city. There isn't much time to recover, and when the opponent is a solid one from Peru, the result should be in favor of the Serbian.
Kalinskaya Anna - 27 years old, a very technical Russian player, excels in playing tennis, but in recent years she has been greatly affected by injuries. However, in the first and second stages she can still play with full force, especially in the initial stage.
Bouzas Maneiro Jessica - 23 years old, shows great mastery as a Spanish player, but her results this season have only resulted in one win out of four matches. Her latest loss was to Hunter 0:2, which is a rare occurrence for her, but she has been playing with injuries and making many mistakes.
The second best team, and only just behind, Galatasaray, is the mega club of Turkey by plum standards. The average teams in the league realistically have no chance against the Fenerbahce team at their home stadium. The second-to-last worst away game is against one of the better home teams, so the handicap should be big, and I hope for a good result from Fenerbahce.
One of the strongest home teams, Rome, has been unlucky in all matches this season, but still manages to gather an average of 2 points in the Seria A league, which looks very promising. The opponents are weaker middle-level teams who have won against Rome at home, but it should not be expected for them to gain any points when playing away. In the last 4 home games against each other, Rome has been the winner, so they should continue their good streak.
Although the ranking of both tennis players is similar, I will start by addressing the big question of whether this match will even take place. On Sunday at 4 pm, Mannarino from France is playing in a final, and then will immediately have to board a plane and play here. If the match does happen, the Australian looks like a clear favorite. He hasn't been playing well this season, but hard courts suit him, while the French player has had a good tournament and we will see how he performs right after getting off the plane.
Although Newcastle team has been struggling on away matches, this game seems very favorable for a win. Tottenham, who have a lot of injured players, have also lost their captain Romero, who received a red card in a match against United and was unable to finish the game due to injury. Although Newcastle's form is not great, they should be able to beat Tottenham's reserve team, and the odds are good as well.
