There are only three matches left. Gornik Zabrze is not really fighting for anything, while Slask Wroclaw is in the relegation zone and fighting to stay in the league, there is still a chance. On average, Slask Wroclaw scores 4.8 corners per game. If you look at their last few games, they had 1-5, 2-8, and 10-4 corner ratios.
In my opinion, a taller player with good skills in the air, plays with a cool head, shoots from everywhere, and is a favorite of the coach. He should improve his minutes for the semi-final, as the game is important and I think there should be at least some rotation.
The final four, hosted by AEK basketball players, is taking place in Greece. The atmosphere can already be imagined as such games are held in Greece and in the home arena. Unicaja is a great team in offense, but they are just as solid in defense. Throughout the season, the Greeks showed great offense playing at home, but their defense was even better, with opponents scoring over 80 points only once.
I was saddened by Pacers' home loss, when their scoring ratio was at 2.25 and now it has even gone up. Indiana has already proven that they can compete with the CAVS on equal ground. Tyrese Haliburton and CO are in great shape, playing at home, and the pressure to prove something falls on the CAVS. To top it off, the Cavaliers are still struggling with injuries.
Over (MalbsMD over 14.5 kills 2nd map) @-125 10/10
Hunter is out, taz is standing in here... He definitely has better positions in the team, especially on the CT side where he plays as niko's roles and has the chance to farm stats and kills, of course. But I have no doubt that taz will go first everywhere and hold it for the terrorists, while malbs will be trading kills from a great position, as usual. And when taz can buy AKs for his star players to gather kills and sacrifice their lives to make it easier for malbs to trade... the maps should be closer and overkill selection would be great for malbs to take at least 15 rounds against an average opponent.

But I have no doubt that Taz will go first everywhere and for the Terrorists, while Malbs will be trading kills in a great position, as Taz always sacrifices himself to get AKs for their star players to pick up kills and possibly risk their lives to make it easier for Malbs to trade... The maps should be very close and there will be an abundance of kills on both sides. Malbs has a great opportunity here to shine and easily secure at least 15 kills against an average opponent.
Ugo lost to Busta. After the competition, Busta saw that he was a little surprised by the outcome and was not very satisfied. Carabelis, on the other hand, played a really good competition and Busta did not play very weakly; he could even say that Carabelis had a "lucky" game. I think that Carabelis deserves the credit for playing against weaker competitors, like Comesana whom I respect, and he definitely plays good tennis, his strength being his serves. However, Zverev has proven this season that he can even defeat stronger opponents, which raises the question if Carabelis can do the same. I believe he can, but at a fairly high risk. It will take a good mindset and a good fight from Carabelis to take at least one set from Zverev, who is currently playing very confidently. The odds for this outcome are not bad, even at 3.22 for one set! I am willing to bet 5 units for this outcome, for well-known reasons that make it a high-risk event.
Fans who love effective basketball are likely feeling the impact of the Greece game and semifinal, so it's hard for me to expect a lot of points personally. The game is very important and nerves have to play a role, and the Spanish veterans know how to slow down the game when they have an advantage, so I think it would be better to bet on the under because even the line is not bad for this option.
Even though the AEK team is playing at home, I believe that Unicaja is a much stronger team that will win in the semifinals. The Spaniards are too good, with more experience, and it seems like they can take on anything. The biggest advantage for the Greeks is playing at home, but even in Greece it is hard to see any advantages or possibilities for winning.
Well, I would really want a higher coefficient, but everything looks pretty good as it is. Australia has its fans, which could be heard in their match against Peru. Australia is not an excellent player on clay, but they are able to play successfully and their fighter mentality allows them to not only play well, but also gather sets against any ATP opponents. Nakashima is good, but I think in this match, Peru has a chance and I believe they can catch it because they are evenly matched, or even slightly stronger than Australia, so I think Thompson will win the first set.
Italian is not a bad tennis player, but this tournament in Italy comes after almost 2 months of rest, and before that he had only played in Peru for about 1.5 weeks. He lacks gameplay seriousness and capability, and even though he was enough to beat Tseng, I believe Dimitrov will handle him easily with a stable 2-0 win. The Bulgarian clearly wants to appear better, but the veteran is also playing well and I think he will have enough courage to take on Passaro.
We all understand well how unstable and weak Medvedev is on clay. He is vulnerable, as shown by his poor results on clay this season. Although he has reached 5 quarterfinals (one was not played due to an injury), only 1 match ended with a victory for Medvedev. Danil looks struggling and rarely dominates throughout a match, while his opponents are generally not bad. The Brit is not a wow player, but he can compete very well when in form, and he is not bad. Despite only achieving 6 quarterfinals in 5 tournaments, including the Brit with all 4 losses, he could always manage to at least win a set, I believe he should do the same against Medvedev at the minimum.
Two neighbors in the tournament table. This year, Kaunas Žalgiris looks very good, but Džiugas also had a strong start. In their first meeting, Kaunas Džiugas even managed to win 2-1, so now they have a chance to earn points at home again, while Žalgiris, with such a lineup, I believe, is seeking revenge. Both teams do not play very offensively as it is usual in this A league season, but they know how to score and concede, so I think there will be goals in this match.
Two productive and similar teams. It can be said that both play at home, so there is no home advantage. Both teams play poorly in defense and often score many goals. Žalgiris scores almost 3 goals per game, while Riteriai scores an average of 3.5 goals per game. In the first match, Riteriai were at home and the game ended in a 3-3 tie, so I think there will be goals in this game as well.
