Bournemouth has a poor record, but they are a strong team that will be competing for European spots this season. They are very strong at home, having not lost a single game this season and scoring 10 goals while only conceding 4. Everton, on the other hand, seem to be falling apart after the incident with Guye and were completely defeated by Newcastle, who simply overpowered them away from home. It will be a tough game for the Toffees today, especially since Bournemouth will be looking to collect points after their poor performance.

Maccabi is completely dead in defense this year. They are averaging historically high points allowed, at 95 on average. Maccabi is the top team in three-pointers made, while Žalgiris is the most successful in defending against them. Žalgiris understands that they don't need to go all out on offense, but rather focus on defense, as getting into a high-scoring game against Maccabi could end poorly. The absence of Katasho will not bring any changes to the game, and there is also uncertainty about whether Leaf and Hoard will play, while Dowtin is out. These are all key players for both teams.

Where Barcelona is, there are no surprises this season at all. And the reason for that is very clear - a high defensive line. Everyone easily goes on the attack, one-on-one with the goalkeeper, there are plenty of 3v1, 3v2 situations during the match. And Atletico this season is very serious about fighting for the title, they execute opportunities perfectly, so we can expect goals from them today. Barcelona attacks very well, with 39 goals in 14 matches this season. I suspect it will be an open match from the first minutes and we can expect goals in the first half.

Barca themselves attack incredibly well, with 39 goals scored in 14 matches this season.

Newcastle is a great team, which struggled at the beginning but has now started to collect points as expected. They are physically strong and tough, making it difficult for even Spurs to play against them. Spurs have been completely lifeless this season, with no offense, and they have no chance of representing and creating opportunities against physical teams. Their matches this season have resulted in under 0.1 expected goals.

The City team had a difficult period, before Leeds there was a complete domination, but in the second period they were a bit lost and did not expect such a strong game from Leeds. However, they managed to take the lead. In the last 4 games, Fulham scored 3 times but it's not worth mentioning, as they were against very weak Wolves, a 1-0 win against Sunderland, who have been over performing so far, and a tragic missed opportunity against Tottenham, who are just not capable of winning games at home. City started scoring goals without Haaland, which is a great sign. Foden is playing very well, so they should take this opportunity, especially since the Gunners failed to grab 3 points against Chelsea and the fight for the title is still open.

We will take Overi here, Chelsea plays very productively in away games this season with 14 scored goals in the PL from 6 played away matches and I think their form should be tested against Leeds, especially with the addition of Palmer back in the lineup who should get his time in this match. Leeds have conceded 3 goals in away matches in the PL, although they have a solid defense at home, their opponents have been relatively favorable so far, they only had to play against stronger teams like Aston Villa and Tottenham and both of them scored 2 goals on their own pitch. Chelsea, without Caicedo due to suspension, may also make it easier for Leeds to play football and I believe they will have their chances here as well. I predict a 1-2/1-3 score here.

Erjavec Veronika - at the age of 25, the Slovenian has had a successful career season, where she plays on clay courts. She is technically skilled and has a great defense from the backline, and also has good stability.
Tikhonova Anastasia - a 25-year-old Russian, whose main court surface is fast hard, but she doesn't perform well on clay. She likes to quickly close out points and doesn't like to keep the ball on the court for long. She also tends to make fewer unforced errors, which the Slovenian could easily take advantage of.

Erjavec Veronika - 25 years old Slovenian has the best season of her career, where she mostly plays on clay courts. She is very technical, versatile with excellent defense from the backline, and has good stability.
Tikhonova Anastasia - 25 years old Russian, whose main surface is a fast hard court, has not had much success on clay. She enjoys closing out points quickly and does not like to hold onto the ball for too long on the court. She tends to make fewer unforced errors, which the Slovenian should easily take advantage of.

The Polish Cup, two Ekstraklasa clubs meet as 16th place Lechia hosts league leader Gornik. I'm going with Over because this season Lechia has been demonstrating incredible scoring results, even though they are currently in the relegation zone with a score of 32 goals for and 35 goals against in 17 league matches, averaging 4 goals per game. I think this will be an above-average match due to their current form. Gornik has slightly lower scoring results, but I believe they will be more motivated in this game and their defense should also improve after their 4-0 defeat in the last match against Lechia, which may have shaken their confidence.

Arsenal should have no problems taking all 3 points here, as the league leaders who have only lost once at home this season against City have dominated all clubs and Ghana has plenty of elite level clubs that the Gunners have already defeated in the Emirates. Now they face Brentford, a team that cannot offer much here, only average in the league, their success depending on a strong home game, but only managing to take 3 points in 6 away games.

One of the teams from the lower 2 Bundesliga championship, Bochum, after being relegated from the top league last season, is not recovering well. The team looks very poor and unstable, while Stuttgart appears to be playing fairly well. With a heavier workload, Stuttgart is used to it as they play in the European league, so mid-week matches are nothing new for them. Playing a productive style of football, even with an experimental lineup, I believe Stuttgart will easily overcome Bochum.

After a very successful match against Bayern in the Bundesliga championship, it is now time for these teams to determine who is stronger in the cup. Union led at home twice, but Bayern cannot afford to play such poor matches for the second time. Bayern, who created opportunities and had 74% possession, must crush their opponents, who as I see it were like a stick once shot.

Luka Doncic is the most productive player in the NBA right now, averaging 35.1 points per game. Luka has been unstoppable lately, surpassing 32.5 points over in the last 6 consecutive games (60% for the entire season). Maybe his intense schedule and fatigue are a bit concerning, but I believe that's also the reason for the slightly lower numbers. However, the Slovenian seems to be in excellent athletic shape, so I'm expecting another great performance from him.

We are moving with the home handicap and the Hertha club that shows very good form. 6 consecutive wins, including a trophy, show how strong the current form of the Berlin team is, not to mention the recent away win against Kaiserslautern team. Although they are neighbors in the 2nd Bundesliga, the form of both teams differs greatly, and the home stadium of Hertha has become a fortress with 5 consecutive wins, while the away team celebrates rarely this season.

Despite facing tougher matches, City team is once again undervalued. While Fulham is a good and interesting team in England, they must meet the standards set by City. While City is often known for fighting for the title, they rarely make mistakes, and after a weaker match, they always follow up with strong performances. I believe we should expect the same from the citizens of Manchester. Fulham has defeated Tottenham and Sunderland, but I do not think they have much chance against City, who, as usual, confidently marches forward in England.

I believe that we can even expect a productive clash between these teams. Atletico club, who are in good form, have scored 2 goals in 3 out of their last 4 matches against each other. Since they have only won once, I think this option looks the most attractive. Atletico has been scoring goals consistently, with 27 goals in 14 league matches and 12 goals in 5 Champions League matches. On the other hand, Barcelona is struggling, especially in defense, and even though their strong offense has kept them from falling into a hole, there are still many signs of trouble. Barcelona has been facing defensive issues throughout the season, and Atletico should take advantage of this.
