The productivity battleground is the Dubai home arena and anyone who comes here gathers large numbers in the offense, even if they lose. Although Asvel team is not the strongest or most productive in the Euroleague, they are capable of playing productively, so the Dubai style game must be played. Teams that can shoot should do so.
Recently, the Real team has been playing a very attacking basketball with many points scored and allowed. Bayern are clear underdogs and can only resist by playing their own offense-oriented basketball. Bayern doesn't have much pressure and are expected to play solidly, while the Real team's style of play also leads to the expectation of a high-scoring game.
Baskonia became the cup champions and had a stormy celebration, so we will see how lively and prepared they will be. Clearly, Valencia looks better, as shown by their 3 victories in mutual matches, including friendlies. Valencia has a lot of chances in the Euroleague and now it is very important for them to win in the fight for second place and the top six.
Of course, she is still young, only 21 years old, from Canada Stakusic Marina, but she is showing stable tennis in Ghana and good shots, also stopping well on the backcourt. In the first round, she beat Yastremska D. and at the Grand Slam AO, she stumbled and fell in the first round.
As for the Spaniard Bucsa Cristina, this season is unrecognizable, similar to Haddad's. Apart from this tournament, she played six matches, winning only one against Peru. In the first round, she defeated a form-losing Vekic. Bucsa is making a lot of unforced errors and double faults this season.
The Turkey club took a 1-0 advantage from Macedonia and I believe they should also win at home. Not only did the Turkish club win away, but they also dominated by controlling 70% of the ball possession and creating 2.4 xG while attempting significantly more shots at goal, 17 against 3. Now the focus is on Turkey, where the local team must not only secure a win statistically, but also in terms of the result.
Despite controlling the ball in the Netherlands, giant AZ (70%), the Armenian club celebrated. At home, this club always looks good, but away, everything is different, and I don't see any chances against Alkmaar club. As usual for clubs from this country, the Dutch like to score goals and will have even more control over the game at home.
The Ferencvaros club looked significantly stronger in the away game, and they will bring back a deficit, which I believe they need to eliminate. In all statistical indicators, Ferencvaros, who ranked first, should only look better at home, and their capabilities are also shown by their positions of 22nd and 12th in the group stages of the European League, where the Hungarian club has already won 3-1 against this opponent at home.
The worst-case scenario for the Bettersia team is meeting the league's worst team, the struggling Priema Bettersiai Polancia team, and it is only natural to expect an over in this match, possibly even with the presence of the home team. Thun, with 57 goals after 25 matches and 27 in 12 away games, shows that they have a good attack but tend to concede goals. However, even as underdogs at home, Winterthur have been scoring well (1.5 goals per match) which could contribute to the total score. I expect at least 3 goals from Thun in this match.
