Friendly Spain, where both teams participate in training camps. The weather is good, the field is well-maintained. I believe there is potential for goals in this match. Servette sits at the bottom of their league, their offense is not bad, but it is their defense that pulls them down. Kylis, having dropped out of the Bundesliga, does not pose a threat in the second league. However, the coach is the same and their style is similar to the previous season, where the team was not afraid to attack even against the top clubs in the country. This may not always reflect in the results, as the league itself is not very high-scoring, but today the setting is friendly and with a weak and struggling opponent on defense, there is a certain status of favoritism. I believe this will provide plenty of opportunities for the German club to demonstrate a more open style of football. I am anticipating goals.
JAE. Both teams have a lot of opportunities, but the players' skill determines the finishing attack. However, teams cannot remain silent for too long. Lately, the home team has many problems with defense, scoring only one goal, while the guests have already recovered and are attacking. They must shoot and not just one.
Some kind of masofka is going towards Lyon. It rose from -6.5 to -9. Angers is not such a bad team. Burdick played only 2 minutes in the last game, maybe he just arrived, today I expect him to play over.
Over (Buducnost Voli Podgorica 90.5 points) @2.250 8/10
Quite often, both in the Eurocup and the ABA league, such a points limit was set by BC Buducnost at home against the Panionios team, and it should also be repeated in Greece. The very productive and excellent Montenegrin team, which seems to have amazing players in the offense, should easily handle the Greeks, who give up a lot of points and often allow many fouls.
At home, Winas has 28 points, so they should also be confident on the road against Peru. Buducnost is capable of playing well on offense, while the tragic Greek club consistently loses by double digits. The Greek team looks terrible at home, so the solid Montenegro club must play successfully.
Although Basque does not have a very strong advantage, the Spanish club regains their game and with many healthy basketball players, they can once again be competitive. Bayern no longer has Dinwiddie and even though they have a short Peruvian series, they seem to be worse off than the Basques. Bayern likes to gather points, but for this style of play, the Basques can play even better, so I believe the chances of the Spanish celebrating in Peru are greater.
The friendly match will take place in Belek, Turkey. During this time of year, Ghana's location is important, especially when there are low temperatures in Europe, storms, and poor road conditions. Belek has it all under control.
My main expectation here is for the Swiss team. Young Boys mainly play attacking football this season, except for occasional periods of defense in the Europa League. I don't think that will be the case this time, as the match status doesn't require it and the opponent is not that serious. Therefore, I expect to see the usual YB style, where the team attacks and scores a lot, but also concedes goals. This has been their Achilles heel this season. Romanians are more pragmatic, but they should not be too cautious in this friendly, and I believe there are much greater chances of getting involved in the open football promoted by the Swiss. In that case, at least three goals should be scored as the total.
The series of undefeated games for Leeds is playing out, however I believe it will end here. Newcastle at home is a completely different beast this season compared to away games, and after losing to Wolves and Arsenal at the beginning of the season, they have won 9 out of their last 11 home games, with only 2 draws against Chelsea and Tottenham, both of whom they had control over in those games. Newcastle themselves are now on a bit of a rise, having won 2 games in a row and fully back in the race for Champions League qualification.
The flu hit Lattes. Pospisilova (7.4 points, 11.1 efficiency) and Salgues will not play. The latter is not an important player, but in the last game she scored 11 points, had a better +/- result and became the x factor. The rotation will be shortened to 7 players. Last week, Diallo and Angloma were also sick with the flu. At home, Lille has only one loss in 5 rounds. I don't see why they couldn't win today.
As is usual after a coach's dismissal, the team wins, so we can expect it from United as well, who are playing against one of the league's underdogs. Although their recent matches were not successful, United must score, especially when their opponent has lost 9 out of the last 11 matches. The very weak-looking Burnley should continue their streak of 2 losses, while the changed United should win.
The Napoli club, defending the title of champions in Italy, is hosting one of the league's underdogs and possibly the worst away team Verona at home. Verona, who has conceded a goal and a half in their away match, does not seem like a strong opponent to challenge Napoli. Despite having a few injured players, the four consecutive victories against strong teams suggest that a well-performing club at home should easily overcome this match.
After two losses in Peru, Lietkabelis seems to be recovering, but I believe this poor season in Europe will continue to be unsuccessful for me. France's club is particularly strong, and the Panevėžys team lacks stability this season. In their home game against Bourg, they almost won by 30 points, and now even in Lithuania, I am confident that their victory is guaranteed.
Neptūnas, with a healthy Tarolis, once again appears competitive, while (NBA) basketball doesn't seem very strong, but that is the face of this season's seaside club. The opponent is quite weak and has already been defeated at home. Neptūnas still has a chance to advance further, so we must hang onto such games, and the very solid Lomazs and others allow for that hope.
We hope that veteran Dimitrov will continue to play successfully. The young Belgian is interesting, but Dimitrov managed to defeat Busta, who had gone through qualifications, while the Belgian beat Canada, who usually does not look good. The Bulgarian is a very solid tennis player and is returning from an injury, but he doesn't seem to have been injured much, so I think this coefficient is worth paying attention to.
We are going with Zalgiris, the coefficient is high. It's a meeting between teams of similar level. When playing against each other, Kaunas often triumphs. Everyone was in good health after a good Sunday training session before Neptunas. Now we are waiting for the Euroleague, we need to start thinking about the playoffs and which teams to take.
The Partisans won't have time to regroup when strong defeats begin. Barca lacks talent, but the team is strong and powerful in the attack. The coach has set up a defense that will knock the opponents off balance, and teams like Partizan, who don't even play and can't find their combinations, should be easily swept off.
