Inter is 3rd with 11 points on undefeated record of 3 wins and 2 draws while Gnistan is last 12th with only 1 point on winless record of 1 draw and 3 losses. Inter has 6 wins and 1 draw in their last 7 h2h meetings so got to like visitors to win this one.

Bergen surprised Kolstad in the first game of this series by winning on the road. Bergen jumped to an early 7-goal lead and held on to win by 3 goals. Kolstad similarly lost the first semifinal match last season and won the next two games to progress to the final and win the title, so they have what it takes to respond here. This is especially true since they won the previous 12 H2H meetings against Bergen before this series started, including both matches this regular season, so got to expect the defending champions to push back here and win to force a decisive game 3.

Maccabi Tel Aviv is 3rd with 58 points, while Hapoel Petach Tikva is dead last, 6th in this championship group, with only 37 points. Maccabi won 3 of 4 games in this championship group, only losing to the league leaders, while Hapoel lost all 4 games in this championship while conceding at least 3 goals in each of 2 road games. Maccabi is undefeated in their last 10 H2H meetings with 8 wins, including 6 wins and 1 draw in the last 7 H2H matches they hosted, outscoring Hapoel by 16-3, so got to expect the stronger hosts to dominate and win this one.

These two teams combined for a whopping 78 goals in the first leg of this tie in a fantastic 39-all draw. Flensburg plays at a super-fast pace and scores a bunch of goals while also allowing similarly high numbers defensively as they went over this total in their last 8 games in all competitions. On the other side, Hannover-Burgdorf is also very good offensively, as they scored 30 or more goals in 7 of their last 10 games. They combined for at least 66 goals in the last 4 H2H meetings, 3 of which came this season, so got to expect another fast-paced, high-scoring game in which both sides will go over 30 goals respectively, making the over a solid pick to go with.

Falkenberg scored and conceded in 7 of their last 9 games, while Norrkoping scored and conceded in 6 of their last 8 games. Both are scoring well as Falkenberg scored in all 4 league games this season, while Norrkoping scored 9 goals in their 4 league games this season. They both scored in 9 of the previous 12 H2H meetings played in Falkenberg, so with both looking solid offensively, there is good value backing both to score here.

Al Hilal Riyadh is 2nd with 74 points, sitting 5 points below leading Al Nassr Riyadh, with today's game in hand on them ahead of their H2H clash in a week. On the other side, Al Khaleej Saihat is 11th with 37 points as they have secured their safety and have nothing to play for. Al Hilal is undefeated this season, while Al Khaleej lost 4 of their last 6 home games. Al Hilal won 12 of their last 13 H2H meetings and should once again be much more motivated, knowing that if they win the last 4 games of the season they will be crowned champions. However, they have no room for error ahead of the huge, possibly title-deciding clash with Al Nassr in 7 days, so got to expect Al Hilal to be at their best and win.

Al Hilal Riyadh is 2nd with 74 points, involved in the title fight, while Al Khaleej Saihat is 11th with 37 points, having secured their safety with 4 rounds to go and therefore has nothing to play for, which then should see Al Hilal win. However, Al Khaleej is very good offensively, having produced the 6th-most goals, and at home they scored 26 goals in 14 games. They both scored in 3 of the last 4 head-to-head meetings, which Al Khaleej hosted, and Hilal won 3 of those 4 games, so with the hosts' strong offensive prowess, got to fancy them to score, but the much stronger visitors should still win in the end.

Marcos Leonardo scored 13 goals in 23 league appearances while adding 6 more goals in the AFC Champions League and King Cup. He will start instead of Benzema today after getting off the bench in 7 of the last 8 games in all competitions, and he still scored in 4 of the last 5 of those games, so getting the starting nod here makes him a solid pick to open the scoring.

Herning Ikast went over this total in 8 of their last 12 games, while Viborg went over this total in 6 of their last 9 games. They combined for 77 total goals in the first H2H match in this championship group, and they combined for 68 goals in the regular-season meeting hosted by Herning Ikast with both of those matches seeing each team score at least 34 goals, so got to expect another fast-paced, higher-scoring game that should result in another over.

Melsungen won the first leg of this tie by 5 goals at home, getting ahead big early, but Porto clawed their way back to just a one-goal difference in the second half, but Melsungen pulled away again late to win by 5. Porto is a strong home team, and Melsungen has been really struggling on the road of late as they lost 6 of their last 8 away matches in all competitions, including the last 3 road games in this competition. Melsungen has a 5-goal advantage, so they can advance even with a 4-goal loss, which should give the hosts a clear psychological advantage, and Melsungen could very possibly play to protect that lead, and that should see Porto have the upper hand in this one and win.

Melsungen arrives to this 2nd leg with a 5-goal advantage, so Porto has to go for it to cut into that deficit. Porto was only 1 goal away with 15 minutes to go before Melsungen pulled away. Porto won 8 of 10 games in this competition prior to that loss, while Melsungen has been struggling away from home lately, having lost 6 of their last 8 road games in all competitions, so with Melsungen advancing even if they lose by up to 4 goals, got to expect Porto to dominate in front of their fiery fans and win this one.

Montpellier completely dismantled Vardar in the first leg of this tie, winning by 10 goals, so this is pretty much decided, which should lead to a more relaxed 2nd game here. Vardar went over this total in 4 of their 5 home games in this competition this season, while Montpellier went over this total in 10 of their last 11 road games in all comps, so got to expect a fast pace from both sides, which should lead to a very high-scoring game and a result in the over.

Nexe won the first game of this tie by 3 goals at home in a back-and-forth game in which Kiel did have a lead in the second half at one point. Kiel won all 5 home games in this competition this season. With Nexe nursing a 3-goal lead, the visitors know that they can advance even if they lose by 2 goals, so with Kiel knowing they have to win comfortably, should see them come out all guns blazing and eventually win.

Nexe won the first game of this tie by 3 goals in a very good performance in front of their fans. Kiel should respond in front of their fans, but they have been far off their best recently, winning only 2 of their last 8 league games, with the last one being a poor 8-goal loss at 16th-placed Wetzlar. Nexe won their last 2 road games in this competition at Kristianstad and Fredericia, scoring 36 and 33 goals. Nexe also scored 33 goals on Kiel in the first game, and in their lone previous visit here they lost by 3 goals, so got to feel like Nexe has enough offense to keep this close and cover this large handicap in the end.
