Dubai should slowly return to its rhythm, bringing back people after the trauma and seriously engaging in the fight for the top 10. In the first round, they blew out the lantern and at home they could repeat it. Saras mentions that it would be normal to sit with the arrival of new people and with such a schedule, so there would be no unexpected guests on the conveyor belt, the lantern would not have a shocking attack, and the malfunction can be easily imagined.

Champions League, women, group stages... in the group are clubs from France, Bulgaria, Germany, and Poland. Despite the fact that the last two mutual meetings will be between Germany and Peru, today there is no place for guests to retreat. The hosts lead the group with two wins out of two matches, while the Germans only have one win after two rounds. The latter surprisingly lost to France away. Rzeszow - with more international experience, slightly stronger and a legion. In these crucial away matches, experience and motivation must play a role.

Greek teams did not need to travel anywhere, the double week of those periods is exhausting, and the status of the away game gives even greater importance. After losing to Milan, I am already waiting for a reaction from all of the PAO teams. Two consecutive wins for Virtusas seem to have exceeded their capabilities, with one game even without Edwardso. Talent and playing style are on the PAO side here. Virtusas is one of the poorest away teams in the Euroleague.

The first match of Germany ended up not going according to the style of play of both teams. Only 135 points were scored. The pace was also not in line with the style of play of both teams, especially not for Nymburk. However, the overall underperformance was "crowned" by very poor shooting percentages. Heidelberg shot with 31% accuracy, while Nymburk had 35%. The guests also made 20 mistakes. Throughout the season, Nymburk was a running team and completely furious. Playing at home, the Czechs should dictate everything.

The Germans lost their first match, even though they had better team statistics. In the first period, the Germans played very poorly, while Levice dominated the game with high percentages and Wurzburg struggled. The Germans won the board and scored 16 points over their opponents. I am looking forward to a tight series result, as Wurzburg has already defeated strong opponents on the road this season.

JAE, reserve league U23. Bataeh is the weakest team in the league, with a noticeably poor defense, which on average concedes 4 goals per game, and recently has been in a tragic form. Today's opponents are one of the leaders, so it is highly unlikely that the situation will improve. Usually, more serious clubs in the league have an easy time against Bataeh and score many goals. I also expect this from Shabab. The club is in a slump after losing 3-0 to Peru in the previous match, so I believe they will be motivated to redeem themselves. The opponent is also ideal for that, and they usually perform very confidently at their own stadium, at least in the attack.

JAE, reserve league u23. Bataeh is the weakest team in the league, with a notably poor defense which typically concedes around 4 goals, and has recently been in a tragic form. Today's opponents are one of the league leaders, so it is unlikely that the situation will improve. Usually, stronger teams in the league easily defeat Bataeh and score a lot of goals against them. I believe this will also be the case for Shabab. The team is going through a rough patch after losing 3-0 to Peru in the past match, so they will be motivated to redeem themselves. The opponent is also ideal for them, and they have a strong record at their home stadium, especially in their offense.

In excellent form, Turkas is receiving a lot of minutes and has strong trust from Saro. In the last 5 games, he scored: 15, 14, 16, 16, 8 points. He only scored 8 points because he shot 2 out of 8 for 3PT. Dubai is not a good defensive team and this is the chance for Biberovicius to utilize his movements on the court. Dubai is one of the worst teams in defense against opponents recently, allowing a significant number of 3PT shots.

Athletically, a player who is good at choosing basketballs looks great on an open court and in faster basketball. I have already described the problems of a virtuoso player on the court in Zalgiris matches. He has nothing to offer at the moment, as tall forwards on the front line without good defense need to be attacked. Holmes, after returning from an injury, has confidently scored over the total points in 3 out of 5 matches. Against Zalgiris, it will be under, but only because he played for only 8 minutes.

LaMelo's total points and assists have significantly dropped and I am trying to take advantage of this. Lately, Melo seems to be playing poorly and I believe it's time for him to have a better match, especially considering the opponent - the Pacers, who are the weakest team in the East. We all know LaMelo's abilities on the court and 25 P+A is a low total for a player like him who can easily score all 25 points, especially since he is having a below average season, yet still manages to average around 20 points and 8 assists.

Although in the league table the view of Ittihad team is weak, but they have gained form and 5 consecutive wins show this. 3 out of 5 wins were achieved with a goal difference in periods, so I expect the same in this game against a lower-ranked club. Benzemos team has a lot of talent and most of their first eleven players are foreigners who could play for almost any team. In addition, Ittihad has created many opportunities in every game, as shown by xG, so it should be possible to achieve and win with a goal difference in periods.

In second place is Milan, currently on a 16-game undefeated streak in the Serie A league. Milan, who are among the top teams at home, are able to prepare excellently for every game because they are not playing in Europe. Genoa, one of the worst away teams fighting to stay in the league, does not seem like a club that can resist Milan. Genoa is plagued by injuries, and this is yet another reason why Milan must take care of business at home.

Although in this season Liverpool was only able to celebrate a 1-0 victory at home against Peru, these teams play an effective style of football, as shown by the results between them. Liverpool has been disappointing this season, but their offense is capable of scoring goals, and allowing 28 goals in 20 matches clearly shows that Arsenal alone can match such a total.

This season in Valencia has been simply fantastic, and I confidently believe that this is a team that can contend for the top spots in the Euroleague. I'm heading to their game against Monaco, who are also in hot form at the moment. I think the home advantage will play a big role in a Valencia win, especially considering the fact that this team is currently at their peak in terms of form. The fact is, Valencia has only lost once at home this entire season and when you combine that with their ACB home record of 16-1, the only loss being against Hapoel in a game where their fans were not allowed in the arena, it's safe to say they haven't lost to their own fans this year. Monaco, on the other hand, has a record of 5-5 in away games, solid but not impressive.

From 2022, there have already been 11 meetings between Liverpool and Arsenal where Liverpool has scored at least one goal against Arsenal's goal, and at home Arsenal has conceded at least one goal in their last 12 matches. Yes, we all know how poorly Liverpool has been performing lately, but this season's matches between the top Premier League teams have been productive and the teams often score goals. In 5 out of the last 6 Arsenal matches, the current leaders have conceded goals, so even a struggling Liverpool team should have a good chance of scoring, especially in a league where anything can happen.

I would say the hottest Euroleague team at the moment is Fenerbahce against the very average Dubai, who rarely lose at home but a reverse must be achieved confidently. I believe it will be an easy win for Fenerbahce on different levels.
