In short and clearly, the referee is good, Mateo Busquets is one of the best in Spain this season, with a large number of yellow cards and recently also red cards in all directions, 6 out of his last 10 matches ended with a red card. Sociedad will be motivated after the Cup final against Atletico, but they must also fight for a place in Europe, at least in the Conference like Getafe. Both teams have only a 1-point difference, but they are still behind by only 2/3 points for a spot in the Conference. Getafe is one of the most carded teams in the league, and they can collect 7 yellow cards by themselves.

Yesterday's game was 4-6, but both teams performed above their averages, with .27 and .361 respectively, whereas the averages are .218 and .234. To add on, yesterday there were 5 home runs scored by both teams, which is also a lot for teams with an average of 1 per team. Today, I hope for something closer to my standards.

The Asia CL2 final between two dominant teams. Nassr, with Ronaldo, easily won the quarterfinal against Al Wasl with a score of 4-0, while Al Ahli had a slightly tougher time with a 3-1 victory over Al Hussein, which showed that both teams arrived in Dubai in good offensive form. The clear favorite in this match is Nassr, and rightly so, as their attacking lineup is composed of well-known European players. However, Al Ahli will definitely try to fight back and if they can keep their defense strong, they may be able to score against Nassr.

Young Danish player Danas proves himself in super qualification, where he beat higher ranked and skilled clay court players Gaston and Llamas. Even since February, Moller has only been playing on sand and it shows that this player is capable of playing very successfully on this surface. The young Italian has had a good hard court season, but struggles to adapt to clay, and even on it Cinai finds it difficult to play. Therefore, I believe that the clear and strong favorite here is Moller.

My attitude towards the match/series with the bookmakers has not changed for a long time. Burgas, this month, lost to Paris, Turk Telekom, Monaco and Cedevita, so why should Beşiktaş suddenly defeat them now? Beşiktaş has won both matches this season, but they were both during stages when Burgas was a completely dead team, so to me, it is even more of a plus for this short series. Beşiktaş could be given the favorite status, but it seems to me that the handicap is simply too big.

This coefficient is determined by public opinion and the reputation of the teams. Periods after a 32-point difference in the first match appear to be significantly stronger. The second matches of the elimination rounds are usually more intense, as the losing team adjusts and plays with more determination. Boston's playing style does not always guarantee repeatable crushing victories, and betting on them at such a coefficient smells of Peruvian handicaps. When the favorite seems so easy, it usually doesn't turn out that way.

Thanks to Wenbio, the Spurs team dominated the first game and won it confidently, but Portland showed enough motivation that day to expect an improvement in their game. I believe that the second game should be more competitive.

KD returns to the starting lineup tonight after missing the first series of the game, while without him, Houston struggled offensively. In the first series, the Lakers shot 61% from the field, although they lost the battle for rebounds and committed 5 turnovers. Tonight, Houston will try to even up the series.

As my colleague saw, I also consider the Frenchman to be the strong favorite for the meeting. Struff is an interesting tennis player, but when he is not in form, he is tragic and currently the German has lost in the first round in 5 consecutive tournaments. Struff only played in 1 clay court tournament, in which he lost to the very weak Basilašvili. Müller is a good tennis player known for his good game, and when it comes to playing on clay, this won’t be a problem for him, but it might be for the German. Although he hasn’t defeated any significant ATP names, his performances in 4 clay court tournaments show that the Frenchman is focused on this surface. Therefore, I predict that he will win against Peru.

Although the Chinese player is good at playing from the backline and has a good serve, his game on the ground is the worst and his form is the same at the moment. On sand, he needs to move, but the Czech player will force the Chinese player to move, which he doesn't like and tries to finish everything with quick shots. To play like this, one needs to feel the game, but in the first match, it is difficult to expect this from the Chinese player. The Czech player is a pure player on sand and plays better on this surface. Although he is also not in the best form this season, I believe he is a clear and strong favorite for the match.

Tragicomedy is like Chelsea, completely disconnected team playing with a tragic defense, going on an away match with Brighton team, which is known for promoting attacking football, and there will most likely be an open game between the two teams. However, it is expected that Londoners' attacking potential will finally awaken, but their defense will most likely struggle and it will be an over game where both teams should make an impression and possibly over or no goals scored.

The coefficient is simply given for the name of Leicester. From 1st January, the team seems to be falling down like Tottenham, so I think it's worth taking Hull, who have also lost form but still hold 6th place in the league and are fighting for the playoffs. With such a difference in the standings, I believe it's worth taking a team that is 17 places higher in the table. Leicester is only above Sheffield Wednesday, who are in crisis and are still sitting with a negative points score.

I believe that this will be a more interesting match. Struff is a very unpredictable tennis player, who in the past has defeated some high-level players, but his form has been unstable recently. However, Madrid's conditions might give him a favorable chance to at least fight for one set. Muller is also not a formidable opponent, so I think a close match is quite logical, but the determining factor will be the French player's current form, which in my opinion is stronger and will triumph after a three-set battle.

Although Raphael does not look bad in Challenger-level tournaments, defeating his opponents, it is still disrespectful to Matteo, no matter how much of a veteran and unpredictable due to his injuries and other issues he may be. However, in my eyes, Berretti is a player of a completely different level. I'm not saying it will be easy, but such a coefficient against a stable Challenger player has to be taken advantage of.

Hello.
NBA playoffs. Lakers against Rockets. Going with Ayton 14.5 points.
No Luka or Reaves, so someone will have to step up with LeBron. I don't expect Kennard to have a second game with 27 points and lead the Lakers to a win, so it's a choice between Ayton 14.5 points or LeBron 24.5 points. It will all revolve around the king and he will need a lot of attention, but we know he is capable of dropping some good buckets. But ay it will definitely be Ayton, who by the way is also playing very well. In the first match, he played even 35 minutes, I don't think he will play under and under tonight. The Lakers really need a strong performance and should try to go all in, because if they make it 2-0, they can safely go to Houston, where I think they will fall behind 0-2, but after those 4 games, Doncic might return, maybe even Reaves. Sengun couldn't even stop Ayton in the first game. He scored 19 points (8 out of 10 from the field), grabbed 11 rebounds. Without Adams, I think he will have another solid game, this player from The Bahamas. 15 points would be a solid line if Reaves and Doncic were playing, but now it's certain that someone will drop some shots, and from the first game we can see that Ayton will definitely be one of those players. I think James' over should also be taken, but the line is big, and he will face extra defense without the other two stars. Good luck.

Although Alaves desperately needs points for survival in the league, the circumstances of their away game against Real were simply tragic. Real suffered a loss to Bayern and was knocked out of the Champions League. Many headlines have been circulating about the Peruvian players’ blame and the disaster of not winning titles for two consecutive seasons. A significant number of players should be on the hot seat, but the season is not yet over and players must show their desire and respect for their viewers. I am just waiting for a reaction from such a star, regardless of the situation with the guests.
