Well, finals often start with underdogs, and the Yandex team is a bit of a cautious team. Of course, the Tundra Massif can also be said to have a high kill count, but in more serious matches their style tends to change a bit. I think that for a final, this limit is quite high.

Although both teams are of the underdog type, they have been performing quite successfully this season. Both teams played in cup matches in the middle of the week and the results of both teams show their ability to score and concede. Both teams have scored 2 goals in 4 out of their last 5 matches, and there is usually no shortage of goals between them, so this coefficient and the style of play this season allows for expectations of goals.

I believe it is a solid option to go for Anderlecht who are strong and, most importantly, in good form. 6 wins in a row and only 2 goals conceded show the team's confidence. It is always difficult to win away, but a -0 handicap seems like a very attractive option as Westerlo has not won in 7 consecutive games. In poor form, I think it will be very difficult for them to face Anderlecht, who have beaten both Champions League teams Royal and Brugge in their excellent form. They have celebrated 6 goals at home, but they did win against Genk, who play in the Europa League, so it seems like a strong away team.

Last month, it seemed like Hearts could definitely win the league, but very quickly those dreams began to shatter. They completely fell into a pit against Peru, while at the same time Celtic only won 1 out of their last 6 matches and Peru hasn't won in their last 4. However, Celtic bounced back in the Scottish league with 5 consecutive wins and even managed to defeat Feyenoord on their way back in Europe. But returning to the SPL, Celtic have already surpassed Hearts even with one match in hand. This will be like a final for Celtic, although not officially, but they will try to beat Hearts one last time and seek revenge. As multiple champions of this league, they will take this match very seriously and will make their opponents bleed in a final blow.

I will take the Knicks handicap against the Magic. The Knicks have had a good season so far, especially when playing away, but they have faced some difficulties as MSG is just not working for them. Ironically, out of their 12-1 home record, they have lost to the Magic. However, it's worth mentioning that in their back-to-back game situation, they played two games in two nights. Anunoby returned to the starting lineup and the Knicks are almost at full strength, unless something unexpected happens before the game. Orlando is also in good shape, with Banchero returning, but I believe the re-integration process might slightly affect the team's momentum, as they didn't play much with Bane and Franz in the same game so far this season. I expect it will take some time for Orlando to reach their best form. I also don't expect the Knicks to defeat the same team at MSG for the second time, as they haven't been able to do so in the past, and the Knicks are almost always a safe bet when playing at home, with no game being decided by less than 8 points.

The lineup is very strong, but Neptūnas plays in both the LKL and Eurocup, run and shoot basketball, but defense is not a strong point in their game. With many injuries and playing on the road, it is possible that it won't be easy even against Jonava. The home team is also focused on offense and scoring points, so when two teams of this type meet, one can expect high point totals. The first game of the season was an NBA style with 230 points, so at least 181 should be expected in the second game.

If Gargždai lost by even 15 points to Jonava, I think now they will face Žalgiris, who are disappointed with such a performance. Moreover, having lost their leader (Hagins with 14 points average), the coastal team will struggle against Žalgiris, who must once again find good gameplay and emotions, which should be present after a secured victory over Peru. The game will take place in Kaunas, and things do not look good for Gargždai.

The Partizan team showcased their capabilities by winning against Bayern at home, and now even though it is an away game, I believe they must defeat an Euroleague club. Cluj, who promotes an attacking basketball style with many points, is a favorable opponent for the highly talented individual Partizan team. The fight for top group positions requires complete concentration and with the game being in favor of Partizan, it should be a success for the Serbians.

Papamichail Despina, 32 years old, from Greece meets with Giovannini Luisina, 19 years old, from Argentina. And here, in Argentina, she has had two successful seasons, while the Greek's season has also been good, with her ranking even higher. In addition, for a few years now, Luisina has been struggling with injuries, which caused her to miss a month of matches, and her ranking also dropped slightly. However, she managed to beat Chwalinska, but I believe it is time for the Greek player to show what she is capable of, at least in the first set.

Ruzic Antonia seems much more serious on fast courts, better results, here she defeated a good Salkova and a progressing Podrez in the previous tournament. This year she won two ITF tournaments on indoor hard courts.
Rakhimova Kamilla, 24-year-old Russian. Her entire season on hard courts was disappointing, however, she managed to defeat some decent opponents in this challenger, such as Klimovicova L. and A.Korneeva. But in any case, there is still a decent chance of a three-set match.

Antonia Ruzic appears much more serious on fast courts, with better results, here she overcame a decent Salkova from the previous round and a progressing Podrez. This year she has won two ITF tournaments on indoor hard courts.
Kamilla Rakhimova, a 24-year-old Russian. Her whole season on hard courts has been pitiful, but she managed to defeat some decent players in this challenger, such as L. Klimovicova and A. Korneeva. However, there is still a significant chance of a three-set match.

Two great teams for the underdog. Leaders and only allowing an average of 4 goals per league game, Porto looks to dominate against the worst offense in the league. Tondela, fighting for survival, seems to have a strong defense, and even Porto does not completely overwhelm its opponents. Both teams are interesting but have a low point count, so consistency is key and I hope for stability.

In this season, Roma looks great and feels that the new team coach Gasperini was an excellent choice. Although Roma is also playing in the European league, their results are almost excellent everywhere. They rarely lose, and only against Italian giants, while they are able to beat all their opponents. A strong defensive play and a well-organized offense are working, but when it comes to playing against lower-ranked teams, Roma's results have not been successful so far.

Two productive football teams that often have 3 or more over goals between them. Lyon is in good form and can easily score 3 goals themselves. Lorient is also in good form and is bold at home, frequently scoring in matches, while also conceding quite often as is typical for a second-tier team. I believe both teams will have goals in their respective good forms.

Betsson is slightly off with the date, as these matches will not be today but tomorrow.
Gernika has been playing without El Salvador and Jankovic for some time now, and Krnjic only appears occasionally as a substitute, and in the last round she didn't even appear on the court. Therefore, Gernika plays with only seven players.
As for Ferrol, they have a full rotation at home, so I don't see why they shouldn't win.
