Žalgiris looks wavy in this season's playoffs in the Euroleague after good matches, followed by very poor ones, but it seems that the team communicates internally and tries to come to some conclusions. Yesterday we saw a really good Kaunas club, but today the opponent is significantly more serious. However, I believe that with a good day, Žalgiris and Peru can take the win.

Maroussi plays without defense. When the opportunity arises, they immediately attack and maintain a good tempo. They can collect points on their own. And since the host's defense is tragic and has often let in over 100 points from much weaker opponents, I expect Pao to score over 100, as their offense has been working like clockwork lately.

It won't be easy, but Celtic is very important and necessary here in Peru. Hearts threw in some points and if Celtic can win against Peru today, they would equal the points. Celtic had fallen into a pit, but now they have fought for 2 solid points. Motherwell starts everything from defense, but it is more difficult for them to attack. Celtic here has a chance to defend against weaker attacks and their offensive potential is still clearly better.

The situation for Wolves is such that there is essentially no motivation this season, as there is practically no chance to fight for survival. And there are no signs of improvement or better gameplay either. On the other hand, Manchester United, although not stable, is playing in a way that leads them in a favorable position in the Champions League table. At home, their attack has been decent throughout the season, and with a weak Wolves defense and gameplay, one can expect an over in terms of goals, and I hope without a response.

The situation for Wolves is such that there is essentially no motivation in this season anymore, as there is practically no chance to fight for survival. And there are no signs of positive developments or better gameplay either. On the other hand, Manchester United, although not stable, has a playing style that leads somewhere and the situation in the tournament table is favorable for them to fight for a place in the Champions League. At home, the entire season their offense is not bad, and considering Wolves' poor defense and gameplay, one can expect over/under goals and I hope for a match without conceding.

Tubelis played a somewhat poorer stretch in the Euroleague, not reaching such a high total in three consecutive matches, but was dominant before that. Today, we will need a good game from him and he should be fed with balls for an over and should make more than 3-4 shots from behind the arc, as he did during this period.

The Serbs from Valencia won't catch up here. Nobody wants to play there. The chaos won't end and will not end this season. Players obviously don't want to play here, there are no teams, no relationships with fans, coaches, management, nothing. Maccabi has almost scored 100 points in 3 periods, so we can expect -40 here.

I do not believe that there is such a big difference between the teams here that Žalgiris would have little chances. They will have their opportunities, Francisco had to sort out his thoughts during the holidays, talk to Masiulis and draw conclusions. These are his games, against the top Euroleague team at the moment, so I am expecting very good performance from him today, and with his good performances, Žalgiris will definitely fight until the end, and then they can win against anyone.

Paris easily dealt with Zvezda in the last round and signs of recovery can be seen. Asvel defeated Efes with random players' career performances, took one from Peru and should continue to collect losses. Paris' goals are higher and their team is significantly better. In Asvel, only De Colo is aiming for the level of Euroleague and I don't think they will catch up with Paris today.

But Hapeol, the better Euroleague team, finally can play at home, where we can expect even better performance from them, so they can easily score an average of 88.5 points against Peru, especially against Žalgiris. Kaunas is known for its offense-focused basketball and often achieves such totals against Peru, but considering the strength of the Lithuanian team, it won't be easy. However, when both teams have a similar playing style, I believe we can expect a high score.

The second most efficient team in the Eurocup, Hapeol with 94.2 points, will face Manresa, who also enjoy and often gather a lot of points. Both teams prefer fast and high-scoring basketball. The Spanish team has even scored over 20 points more than their opponents, so once again high scoring can be expected and, of course, a similar line.

Cluj, the team from Romania, has a better average of 95.5 points in the European Cup, while Šlask is not far behind at 83.8 points. The Polish club even won against the Romanian team at home with a score of 187 points, so now we can expect a competitive game and open basketball from Romania once again. Both teams often reach such high total scores, so we can expect consistency from them.

Cisco's introduction is probably unnecessary. In the last EuroLeague games, the performance was very poor and there were disagreements with coach Masiulis. The conflicts have been resolved and everything seems to be going well within the team. We should see the usual Cisco style of play again, and the Frenchman does not seem to be struggling with total points this season.

Recently, United won 1-4 away and now at home, they should have a relatively comfortable lead again against Peru. So, the situation has changed a bit from United's side, but Wolves this year seem unable to gather points or they are selling their matches. I think United will continue to play successfully after Newcastle, so go MU.

Although the results of the Newcastle team on their travels are not impressive, I believe that the performance should be much better now after the unsuccessful match with United. Although Newcastle had opportunities, they were not able to score, so now their execution should not fail and they should at least score against Peru from Newcastle.

United cup is the start of the season, so I would say that both tennis players have a similar chance. On hard surface, Munar has the advantage, but when these players enter the season, I do not see such a significant advantage for the Spaniard. Baez had a very poor season, but just like Munar, that is all in the past, and when the players' game is similar in terms of ranking or height, I don't think there should be a big advantage, and 4 games potentially seems safer, as both had a tough battle on clay surface twice and we could feel the advantage from Baez.

United Cup

Stefanos Tsitsipas is playing for his country with additional motivation, and even after a very poor season, the Greek should be ready to dominate again. He is a solid tennis player and when focused against someone like Japanese player Peru, he should be able to win 2-0. Although the Japanese player Shintaro Mochizuki has experienced five consecutive losses before winning a set, it will be difficult to expect a win against the Greek. Both players are not in their best form, but I believe this only increases Tsitsipas' chances in this case.
