Tips of the day

CONMEBOL LibertadoresLost0:1

Libertad AsuncionUCV

Why this pick: We see two unmotivated teams here. The home side, taking advantage of playing on their own field, will most likely try to control the game and play on the front foot. The Venezuelan opponent has virtually no motivation at all. Because of that, we can expect an open and high-scoring match. Secondly, the statistics support this view: the home team averages 3.20 total goals per game, while the visitors average 3.40. In 4 of the last 5 matches, at least 3 goals were scored. The third argument is the head-to-head meetings, where the teams combined for 4 goals. We should see another entertaining shootout today.

CONMEBOL SudamericanaWon1:3

Caracas FCBotafogo

Why this pick: In the first-round meeting, both teams managed to score. The match was not particularly spectacular and ended 1–1, but that was enough for this bet to win. We believe there is every chance we will see goals from both sides again here.

UEFA Europa Conference LeagueWon1:0

Crystal PalaceRayo Vallecano

Why this pick: Crystal Palace enter as slight favorites thanks to squad depth, while Rayo arrive unbeaten in recent matches. Both clubs have a rare chance to win a European trophy, which adds huge importance to this final. The stakes are extremely high, so a tense and cautious tactical game is possible, with small details likely to decide the outcome.

Czech LigaWon1:4

ArtisSlovácko

Why this pick: Both teams show unstable defensive records and frequent goal exchanges, especially Artis in home matches where BTTS is very common. Slovácko struggle away but still concede regularly, which increases probability of both sides scoring in this playoff matchup.

Why this pick: The Spurs have put up a strong fight against Oklahoma. It has been a great series. Obviously, their results are heavily dependent on Wembanyama, but in terms of offense, they have still managed to clear this line even when Victor has not been at his best. That is why I think it makes sense to back them again. Oklahoma are not perfect, and people were too quick to hand them the title. Last year they struggled against the Wolves, and even reached Game 7 in the Finals against Indiana. This is a key game — usually Game 5 plays a decisive role in such series. The Spurs know how to win here and have also gained confidence.
