Well, I don't know, the future very rarely surprises its opponents, while Lietkabelis often manages to withstand such a handicap and in the first meeting they only won by 8 points. So I'm just trying to go with the idea that this handicap is a bit too big and Lietkabelis, no matter how they play, can handle it.

The first friendly match ended 89-75 for Tofas against Peru's team, while the second one ended 105-86 for Cholet. In my first prediction before the series, I predicted that Cholet would have a slight advantage and said that the teams were evenly matched. The second match confirmed this. In the first match, there were 164 points scored, as Cholet did not play their best basketball and had a low shooting percentage. In the second match, their shooting improved. Both teams play at a good pace and are of a similar level, so I am choosing an overall over bet and also a plus bet for the visiting team, although it may be wise to go with Peru.

The first pre-tournament game ended 89-75, with the Tofas team winning against Peru, while the second game saw Cholet win 105-86. In my initial prediction, I had predicted Cholet as the favorite and said that the teams were equal. The second game confirmed this. In the first game, there were a total of 164 points, as Cholet did not play their usual basketball and had a very low shooting percentage. In the second game, their shooting percentage was much better. Both teams play at a good pace and are at a similar level, so I am leaning towards choosing the overall over, as well as the visitor's victory, although it may be necessary to pick Peru in this case.

Czech Republic Maxa league... one of the worst seasons for Vsetin, arriving after two losses. The latter being a constant top 5 team in this league. Despite the hosts catching a good playing rhythm, having two consecutive wins, in this meeting, the guests with a more solid and authoritative lineup should dominate. I choose the latter to not suffer a loss.

The Germans somehow did not disappoint this week, so I'm trying again. Two good style teams, Hoffenheim always plays open football at home, they like to attack. Basically, the same can be said about the Monchengladbach team, whose game is fast-paced. When there are results, their offense is great, but when there aren't, their defense is tragic. H2H is just a fairy tale.

The Central European league, mens, group stages... Despite Croatia's leaders not prioritizing this league, I think after their exit from the European Championships, in this duel with Montenegro, the most famous and solid club, the hosts will try to take the initiative. In the last mutual match (in the Champions League classification), with persistent effort, Croatia won against Peru 3-2. Today, I choose the host - the first set / all directions.

Although we won't see many players from Real's lineup today, we should have Vinicius, Gonzalo, and Mastantuano up front. There will be a lot of speed up front and it is likely that there will be a lot of freedom since Xabi Alonso left. Despite missing some key players, the majority of the team today will still be a mix of the main lineup, so there are also good names in defense and safe line. Albacete's form has dropped and the team has not shown good defense throughout the season. Today, almost the entire list of "undesirable" players who were against Alonso will play for Real. I am waiting for their reaction.

The second worst team in the league is hosting the second best team at home. After tragic matches and a crushing defeat, Vytis has to recover against the worst team of this season's NKL on an away game in Plungė. Despite having lost consistently with large margins on away games this season, Plungė's team must continue their poor streak, as Vytis will be playing in Šakiai Arena, where they also perform well. After a string of poor matches, I believe Vytis will bounce back and easily defeat one of the underdogs.

Although these are crucial games for qualifying for the top 16 stage, there are teams capable of easily achieving such a points total. In the first match-up, Germany's team was particularly productive. In the second game, they collected very few points, but the team took many shots, so even with a worse shooting performance, they should be able to achieve a similar result. I do not believe that they will repeat the syndrome of missed shots from the second game, where the team shot with less than 40% accuracy, even from within the two-point zone.

Two teams without defense and focused on offense. Poland has almost two hundred total points collected, so with Italy, where Venezia feels very good and plays very successfully, we can expect another large amount of points and such a line for Peru. As an example, the Slask team has had this line for 6 consecutive European Cup matches, while Venezia does it very often as well, so I would say the line is not yet as high as it could be.
