Manisa is a home team, and in the month of December they even lost at home to Petkim team. Sajus and others are by no means as weak of a team as they are in the tournament table, and after being eliminated from the FIBA Europe Cup, the team is playing much better in Turkey, where they have achieved 2 wins out of 4 matches. Manisa looks very poor and has lost 12 out of their last 14 away games, with the only win being against Pinar, who are also in the relegation zone and similarly weak like Merkezefendi team. Therefore, it can be expected that they will suffer yet another defeat in their away game against them.

The Nanterre team is a top team in the 2nd basketball league and is currently in very good form. This season, the Nanterre team has been scoring solid victories, with 18 out of 19 wins being by 5 points or more. It's also interesting to note that Nanterre was the only team to win by a smaller margin against Peru, when they faced off against Limoges. The Limoges team seems to be struggling and is at the bottom of the tournament table, so the in-form Nanterre club appears to be a safe and solid choice.

Both teams promote efficient basketball. Neptunas, after the KMT only recently returned to their usual attacking form and now has a 3-game winning streak, with similar performance in these games as they are expected to have. Siauliai also enjoys playing fast and efficiently and has already shown their potential against such teams. At the end of December, both teams exceeded the 200-point mark in their game in Klaipeda, and now I believe that there will be plenty of points again.

Liverpool's status favorites here, I don't think there will be any problems for them in this derby because Everton is having a good season and showing good form lately. In particular, they have closed the gap to 5 points for the Champions League spot which is currently held by Liverpool. It will be a heated match, Liverpool does not inspire me at all and losing Keita due to injury has made them lose their best attacker this season. Isak is also not fully recovered from injury and it should be difficult for the visitors to attack. I think Everton as a minimum here on a Draw no Bet, but the chances of winning are probably the biggest I remember going into the Merseyside derby.

The bet on the home team is supported. Paks club is playing one of the most productive games in the league after 29 rounds with a score of 54 goals and 41 allowed. They have one of the top 3 offences in the league but their defence only ranks 5th, leaving them with no chance for better results. At home, Paks has scored a total of 58 goals in 14 games, averaging almost 4 goals per game with a score of 33:25. However, the opposing team also has a strong offence and they can score above the average in away games, but their defence is not as solid. Similar to Paks, they have allowed 39 goals this season. It seems that when playing away games against Paks, the opposing team can score more goals than usual, so I am betting on an Over result.

Lack of experience in big finals can trip up the young Frenchman, despite his decent performance. The presence of an elder colleague, with his wealth of knowledge accumulated throughout his career, is definitely undervalued and such a handicap is worth noting. I believe it will be a tough fight and the small difference in games will determine the winner.

Italas moves perfectly in the tournament, yesterday he defeated Zverev much more easily than expected, allowing us to believe that Cobollis truly deserves attention today. Shelton is also not to be underestimated, but European clay is not his strong point and there are many obstacles here. The odds reveal that a serious battle is ahead, let's go for the bigger one!

Both players are in great form, simply dominating with their power and giving me 3 sets is too much for Muchova, who I would have to say is an unfavorable opponent for Rybakina (2-1 head-to-head record). Rybakina had to fall from Leyla's hand, but miraculously survived. She made a lot of double faults and unforced errors, which are not typical for her game. I don't see an easy fight today and I predict victory for the Czech player.

It is time for Adelaide to play space races, and I believe that the whole of Australia knows about it... They are an unstoppable team with a very strong offense for several consecutive seasons. Macarthur is a great opponent for Adelaide to play in a goal race because their defense is tragic, but they can score against anyone. Recently, Adelaide seems very calm, but today is the perfect time to wake up against a favorable opponent.

On the downside, unless the tournament stage is not very suitable here, apart from that, I think the underdog looks good. When both teams meet, there are usually not many kills and the games end somewhere around the 40-42 kills mark. I also think it's a plus that it's a lan. It's just a handicap, and I believe the underdog is a more realistic option here.

13th place Bayern, who have celebrated only one win out of their last 14 matches, are now facing the strong, but unbeatable champions, Stuttgart at home. Recently eliminated from Europe, Stuttgart lost 0-2 to Dortmund at home, while a team of such strength and form like Bayern should confidently secure a win at home as well. Having won 12 out of 14 home matches in the Bundesliga championship, Bayern has been averaging 4 goals per game at home, so even a team like Stuttgart should not be feared and a very confident performance can be expected from Bayern's side.

The Auxerre club, playing in the top league in its third season, has not been able to compete against the Monaco club in any of the seasons, even in 2012/2013. Monaco, having won all of their matches against Auxerre, is currently one of the strongest home teams in the league, with a 5 game winning streak at home. 10 out of 15 home teams have fallen to Monaco, and even the same PSG has also lost, so I don't see any chance for Auxerre to beat the league's underdogs.

The 2 and 3 worst attacking teams in the league. Teams that score only 1 goal per game on average have poor defenses, but in these particular matches, a lot of goals should not be expected. Burnley can be considered as already dropped out of the Premier League and have managed to score only 1 goal in their last 4 games. Nottingham currently plays in Europe, but also has a streak of 3 games where they have not surpassed the goal line, just like in their previous meeting with Burnley at home this season.

Partisan's form has been good for some time now, but Zvezda lost to Real and recently to the same Partisan. With such a schedule, <20 minute rotations will be maintained, and the bench depth should be enough for Butler to possibly decide the end of the game.

A very risky bet, but I believe it is the only EL team that will lose/fall out of the top spot in this tournament. The Monaco schedule is tight, with high stakes, and it is likely that James will be saved for other games, leaving only 7 players in rotation. This should be enough to secure a win, but other leaders will also need to step up and give the players on the bench a chance to play, which could lead to an Asvel handicap in this match.

Rybakina has significantly improved her power and is maintaining better condition until the final stages of the tournaments. She has greatly raised her form since the end of last year. Plus, the last H2H this year in Brisbane was won by Muchova, which adds an extra motivation for Rybakina. Another factor is that Muchova struggles to reach the final stages of the tournaments, it seems she barely makes it, and here she still has three more matches to play, each in three sets. Even though Karolina plays very intelligently, she needs strength in this tournament, otherwise Rybakina will overpower her with winners. As for a simple win with odds of 1.44, it's highly unlikely in this scenario, like Rybakina winning and possibly by a margin of three games.

Rybakina has much more power and maintains better condition up until the final stages of tournaments. Improving significantly compared to previous years. Plus, the last H2H was won by Muchova, which adds extra motivation for Rybakina.
On the other hand, Muchova struggles to advance to the final stages, it seems like she barely makes it, and now there are three more matches with three sets each. Although Karolina is a very smart tennis player, she needs strength in this tournament, otherwise Rybakina will win easily. As for a simple win with a 1.44 odds, this scenario is highly unlikely, such as a Rybakina win, potentially with a difference of about three games.
