Well, here practically guaranteed, an interesting duel will take place. Yes, I underestimated Brazil against Italy, who yesterday defeated Italy without any response, once again it seems a bit slower coating, but it is not completely slow so that the same strikes would not be dangerous. Brazil works well in defense, stands on their feet, pulls the balls quite impressively, so there should be a truly interesting duel against Zverev, I will also risk with an over in the first set games, because both seem quite stable at this stage, although Zverev's medical timeout is a bit worrying, not responding today, but everything seems fine with his health, so it should be one of the most interesting matches for this day.

Yesterday all KBO teams received rest because the rain postponed all the matches, today all teams start new series against new opponents. Wiz are slightly disappointed after a rough start to the season, but their danger in offense remains, Doosan is still inconsistent, but improvement in offense can be seen with each game. Both teams will start the match with weak pitchers, Doosan has a local pitcher with a 7.27 ERA while Wiz has an immigrant with a 4.09 ERA, such pitching for both teams should lead them to runs.
Mace and Dubai Lo played for 10 minutes and scored 5 points, with the only change coming directly from Cisco. For the whole match, Zalgiris' offense did not work, as both defenders, Cisco and especially Goss, were not playing. Lo, with his two entries onto the court, revitalized the offense, whether it was through scoring points, causing turnovers, or distributing assists. After the game, everyone was wondering why Lo played so little, even though he seemed to be playing better. Only Masiulis probably knows the answer. But Lo can still gather points in a short period of time. Although maybe he won't be ignored by Masiulis as much anymore.
A more interesting statistical placement, at first, I thought that this was just a mistake in Olybet's coefficients, but then I see that there are other offices and not just one that offer this line. In any case, I still think that this is a flawed line, because just by looking at the Peruvian Braga 1.44 and it being one of the most attacking teams in the league, we should expect that a large part of the action will happen in front of the Arouca goal. Braga's average number of corners is around 6-6.5, while Arouca's is around 4-4.5, accordingly, on average, Braga allows their opponents 3-4 corners per game, while Arouca allows 5-6. What is the logic here? Unless Braga will let someone else lead or give up the foundation after the European League matches. But even in that case, Arouca is too small to have a 50/50 chance of over corners in the period.
One of the team names seems confident that the NBA regular season games will be secure. Running, shooting, and lack of defense are common for both teams. It is not surprising for both teams to score and allow 100+ points, and this happens very often. Fast-paced basketball with little defense from both teams allows for a high over today.
Hapoel is a completely offensive team, defense does not exist, anyone can go through, it mostly depends on how poorly the teams play, if they don't score 90 points against them. Hapoel itself scores 90+ against everyone after Bryant returned. Olympiacos also doesn't seem to be a very good defensive team this season, and it's not surprising when they have such offensive superstars like Dorsey and Vezenkov, but they are attacked on defense.
All the underdogs of the Euroleague and although Lyon is far from being crushed in every match, the end of the season is greeted with poor form and play. Zvezda is a solid team, capable of playing exceptionally well and fighting for the playoffs, so in this game we can only expect a guaranteed win from the Serbians.
Dubai does not play at home, but when looking at the overall image, they must confidently celebrate against Peru. Dubai has been struggling for rest and is also fighting for a spot in the playoffs, and even at home, Efes looked weak against Partizan, and when playing away, this team looks even worse, and they will have less energy due to playing in overtime. Therefore, I predict that Dubai will win with a double-digit difference against Peru.
A small rotation and a double week of trust does not raise concerns for Monaco club. Although Barcelona is not the most suitable club for Peru, it seems significantly better. James and Miro have returned, but the workload is heavy, the coach is weak and the overall situation in Monaco is difficult, which I believe the Spaniards can take advantage of, especially after their vacation.
The worst league team against one of the better league teams. Marseille hasn't been doing very well lately, but this team has played against very strong opponents and has not scored at least 2 goals in their last 4 matches. However, now they have a chance to redeem themselves and secure a win. In October, Marseille beat Metz 3-0 away and now they should have a similar level of confidence. Even though Metz has been struggling against lower-ranked teams, they are able to fight back, but against teams of this caliber, they simply crumble. So, it is worth expecting the same here.
I believe that the tragic knights showed up at an inconvenient time for Vilnius Žalgiris, who, after losing to Kaunas, must win very solidly. The composition of Žalgiris is extraordinary and although the team is not doing well, they play at their home stadium against a tragic team that is constantly losing and cannot score. Žalgiris is capable of scoring and playing successfully, and after such a stretch, I believe they must win and do it confidently.
Tragic knights, I believe, came at an inopportune time against Vilnius Žalgiris, who, after losing to Kaunas, have been performing very strongly. The composition of Žalgiris is unmatched and even though the team is struggling, they are playing in their home stadium against a tragic team that is unable to score and is constantly conceding goals. Žalgiris is capable of both scoring and playing successfully, so after such a tough period, I believe they must win and do so confidently.
