Valencia's form has dropped recently. They lost to Real Madrid and Tenerife. Then at home they lost to a struggling Barcelona. Among themselves, Valencia beat Olympiacos this year, but under these circumstances, it is possible that there will be a rematch.

NBA revoked the last technical of Luka and he will be able to play against the Pistons, his and the Lakers' form has been stellar lately, winning 12 out of the last 13 games, and Luka has scored over 30 points in each one (and even got 60). The Pistons are still missing their key player Cunningham, but with a strong team they are able to offset his absence to some extent. The Pistons have one of the best defenses in the league, so they will try to limit Luka's points and force him to pass the ball, although he will still likely score around 20 points, his total score should still be at the top.

Simply a higher level player, as much as Tiafoe knows how to strike, but not a great fan of his subs. We have already met once and the score was clear, I don't think it will be any different this time.

ATP Miami, hard.. Young man from Spain, Martin L. (20y.o.), reached the finals in this tournament. Great job, he gained good playing experience and next year he will improve even more. In this match, the main attention will be on the first significant sensation of the tournament, 25-year-old local representative Sebastián Korda. He had a very serious level of play this year, he feels great on this surface, is difficult to beat, and will definitely give the young man a good lesson in this match.

This is a great opportunity for both players, but it is evident that Kamilas should take advantage of it. The Polish player is significantly higher in the rankings than his opponent, who has a poor record against top 100 players, which cannot be denied. Both players have performed well in Miami so far, but it was Kamilas who reached the over, defeating opponents such as Miomir Kecmanovic and Learner Tien. Such victories should give him confidence in this match.

A strange coefficient for such a total. It can be said that he recently returned after a back injury, but already had one good performance, second to GSW even though they have good and physically strong players, but I wouldn't say that someone works impressively in defense against high players like Daniel, who has a good jump and can defend and fight under the opponents' basket for rebounds.

Dallas also has their fair share of problems with tall players, but this guy always gets over the time when others leave, and in my opinion, he can easily reach the 16 point threshold today, as Podziemskis is not good at individual defense and it should be difficult for him to stop Daniel, who confidently finishes attacks under the basket.

The risk is not small, as Olympiacos knows how to step up when needed, but Valencia also knows how to maintain a quick pace. I am not very convinced that Valencia can fall into a hole when they have consistently demonstrated an impressive tempo throughout the season, especially when Olympiacos also has a strong pace. This game is important for both teams, one fighting for the top spot and the other fighting to stay out of the relegation zone.

Earlier this season, Olympiacos suffered a loss against Valencia at their home court, and now the situation could potentially end up the same with a lot at stake. However, Olympiacos will surely not want to lose again, as it could greatly affect their position in the standings. Valencia has a tough schedule ahead, making it difficult for them, but considering their ability to dictate a fast pace, they must focus on gathering their strength at home against any opponents.

I am taking a risk, but I believe that both teams will bring a strong tempo and determination to the game.

We often see interesting results from Turkey, so I hope for the same here. The teams have similar strengths, but Bursaspor has its own advantages. Petkim had to play against Spain and got eliminated from the Fiba Europe Cup tournament, which usually results in poor performance in the local championship for teams. Additionally, their 6-game losing streak does not contribute to their motivation and self-confidence. Of course, Bursaspor may not seem any better with an even longer losing streak and a loss in the first away game, but I believe the odds are too high for this unfortunate showdown, especially considering that Petkim also played in the middle of the week before getting eliminated.

In this season, the team looks better in away games than at home. In the regular season, the team showed a change in performance in away games, and in the playoffs, Telšiai proved their advantage at home. Despite playing without Gecevičius, Telšiai still won and are now my favorites to win in Klaipėda. The teams have a big difference in strength, and even with an incomplete lineup, Telšiai has experience and a winning mentality, which I believe will be utilized.

In this season, the team performs better away than at home. In the regular season, the team showed changes while playing in Peru, but in the playoffs, Telšiai proved their superiority at home. Despite playing without Gecevičius, Telšiai won and now are my favorites to win in Klaipėda. The teams have greatly differing abilities and even without a full lineup, Telšiai has experience and a winning mentality, which I believe they will use to their advantage.

Defeat on time for Fener, where Šaras doesn't sleep much on this issue and pizdako writes, so here I think there will be a suitable reaction again, since everyone wants first place, the home advantage will have a significant impact on the playoffs for Fener. Maccabi can spoil a good day, but realistically they don't have much chance of making it to the playoffs, so it's a minus on one hand because they don't have any pressure on this issue, but on the other hand they can be too relaxed. The tempo at Maccabi is high, so I think Fener's task from the first minutes will be to show their physicality and slow down the tempo, so overall the handicap is suitable for testing.

The main match today, at least the main ending.
For now, Ostapenko is still in the tournament, but she didn't impress me. She moves around the court with difficulty, often missing shots. She takes too many risks with her winners, often giving points to her opponent. Sometimes it seems like the sun is shining too bright for her, or her mind is too distracted, because when her opponent makes a simple winner, she looks shocked for half a minute, as if she had never seen such a shot in her life. When she is leading 30:0 or 40:15, she often lets her opponent break her serve. There is a lack of stability.
Baptiste Hailey, a 24-year-old American, currently ranked 2nd locally, is a very good opponent for her as she has a better serve than Paolini and can hit more balls, which Latvian player does not like. Moreover, in the previous round, Hailey beat the well-performing Svitolina 2:0, so I believe she is a much stronger opponent, considering that Ostapenko often gives away points herself.

The main match in my opinion today, at least in terms of the main outcome. At the moment, Ostapenko is still in the tournament, but she has not impressed me. She moves around the court with difficulty, often missing her shots. She takes too many risks with her winners, making it easier for her opponent to gain points. Sometimes she seems to be blinded by the sun or distracted by her thoughts, and when her opponent makes a simple winner, she looks as though she has never seen such a shot before. When leading 30:0 or 40:15, she often allows her opponent to break her. There is no stability.
Baptiste Hailey, a 24-year-old American player, is very good at this position because her serve is better than Paolini's and she can hit a lot of balls, which does not suit the Latvian player. Additionally, in the previous round, Baptiste Hailey beat Svitolina, who has been in great form this season, 2:0, so I think she is a much better opponent because she often gives away points.

Perhaps it's with belief that Valencia cannot maintain such good gameplay throughout the entire season. Especially at the moment, the team seems a bit injured, with 3 losses in their last 4 games, and now they are facing an even stronger opponent. Vezenkov is back in the lineup, defenders have recovered from injuries, and Olympiacos now looks like the team that can defeat the Spaniards away.

A small total score seems like Dubai really did not become a defensive team, they can attack themselves and do not have a strong defense. Panathinaikos lost their performance for a long time when Nunno and Hayes were absent. Now both of them are playing in good form, both scoring 20 points in the previous game. For such players, it should not be difficult to play against Dubai. PAO is a stronger team and their away status should not be a problem even for the "fans" of Dubai, especially after a long break.

The total seems too low, Dubai must not have become a defensive team, they can attack on their own, and good defense is not their strong suit. Panathinaikos lost their scoring abilities for a long time when Nunno was absent, and there was no Hayes in the team. Now they both play, in good form, and in the previous game they both scored 20 points. Such players should not have a hard time playing against Dubai. PAO is a stronger team and their status as away players should not be affected by the "fans" in Dubai, especially after a long break.

Karolina Muchova, an experienced 29-year-old Czech, is a very favorable opponent for the Philippines. Muchova is very skilled at playing tactically, while the Philippines relies solely on technical abilities, which I believe Muchova excels at. Looking at previous tournaments this year, their game is significantly weaker at the third and fourth rounds.

England under-21 league is one of the most productive, with Ipswich being one of the best teams in terms of overs, averaging 4.4 goals per game (only Leicester's games have an average of 4.5 goals). Burnley's young team has an average of 3.4 goals, but away from home that average rises to over 4.4 goals, which balances out the goal situation in their games. These teams rarely play against each other, but all 3 previous meetings in 2022 and twice in 2024 ended with 7, 5, and 6 goals respectively, and all 3 matches had 2+ goals in the first half (2, 3, and 4 goals).
