Although the Lille team is not in the best form, their opponents were very strong and the team's potential is high, and it is difficult to find good words about the worst teams in the league. They consistently lose to strong teams with a goal difference, so it shouldn't be any different here.
At home, the highest scoring and most productive team in the league, Leeds, have scored and conceded a total of 73 goals in 24 league matches. Known for their high-scoring football and controlled style of play at home, Leeds must continue to play effectively, as Forest is also capable of scoring and conceding. With Leeds playing at home in this match, I hope they will impose their style of football and score goals.
No matter how poorly Barcelona played with the lantern, they fought until the end like lions. Xavi prepares a good game plan and the players always manage to break through. The Basques are a favorable opponent for Barcelona, they know how to attack and close aggressively. The situation is tense on the standings, so we need to take every point against such a level opponent, especially after recovering from injuries.
Zali is facing one of the worst tournament teams before their departure, which is struggling. If they were at home, I would say there would still be questions about their attitude, but now on the road, their concentration and energy will be unquestionable. Efes has many injuries and lacks flow, Lee plays hero ball, and others are running out of place. Zali is at full strength, with all weapons in Masiulis' hands, so I am expecting a confident win.
I don't know, Aurora looks quite good and I think it's worth hanging out in Peru. Furia plays very aggressively, and in this tournament they don't show very good form. Of course, the game often changes at this stage, but I think Aurora has everything here to win. The teams have also been playing together for quite some time, so just looking at the Aurora game, I think you can find quite a few advantages on their side.
Basketball team playing at a fast pace, one of the most offensive teams in Euroleague. Even though they may not seem capable of defending well, the majority of their players are focused on offense. At home, they should dictate the pace and style of play. Barcelona, even with some changes in their lineup, still has a lot of talent on offense. Although they do not play at a fast pace, their offensive numbers are good while their defensive rating is particularly poor. It seems like the total score may be too low.
A double game week, as usual, demands a lot of energy, especially for teams playing away games in the second round. Often, for these reasons, the second games are not as high quality or aesthetically pleasing. Efes is the slowest team in the Euroleague, so I don't expect them to change anything when playing against Zalgiris. Zalgiris has been improving lately, looking strong on offense, but they have struggled away games due to their poor defense. In order to compete against Efes, they will need to work on their defense. Efes will be missing Cordinier, Smits, and Poirier. The rotation is also a concern for Zalgiris, as well as their recent form.
A double game week, as usual, demands a lot of energy, especially for teams traveling for away games in the second round. Often, for these reasons, the second games are not of high quality or visually appealing. Efes is the slowest tempo team in Euroleague, so I do not expect them to change anything while playing against Zalgiris. Zalgiris has been improving lately, with a good offense, but has struggled on defense while playing away. In order to compete against Efes, it will be necessary to work hard on defense.
Well, I don't know, Heroic is like a better team, and the first game was just a reconstruction of Team Peru. Now it will be a survival game in the tournament, so every lost game will decrease the chances. It can be said that Rekonix easily lost all the games or let their Peru go. Heroic team already looks well-balanced, so their 2-0 against Peru seems very real.
