Even though Bradford's form is worse than Doncaster's, there is still a big difference in the table. Above all, Bradford's home form is still very good (9-2-2), so I think they can get back to winning ways today.

Sheff Wed are in last place. They come from five consecutive defeats in a row (six if you also consider the FA Cup). I think that against Wrexham, who are launched towards the playoffs, they will suffer another defeat.

Barcelona have recorded over 2.5 goals in 7 of their last 10 home matches. The Blaugrana have scored 18 goals in the group but have also conceded 13. Over 2.5 goals have also occurred in 3 of Copenhagen's last 4 away matches, so I expect at least 3 goals today too.

Bayer Leverkusen need a point, but a win would boost their standings and potentially give them a better playoff draw. It could be a one-sided affair, with Schick and his teammates attacking from start to finish against a team that has been the biggest surprise of this competition. Goals are unlikely to be lacking today. In seven matches this season, Leverkusen have conceded 14 goals, while Villarreal have conceded 15.

Benfica absolutely must try to win to get into the top 24. This will certainly influence the Portuguese team's tactical approach. Encouraged by the home crowd, they will try to achieve this feat even at the cost of suffering several counterattacks and the inevitable attacks of Real Madrid (who have scored at least two goals in each of their last 10 competitive matches). I therefore think that the match at Da Luz could see at least three goals and could produce plenty of scoring opportunities for both sides.

Club Brugge and OM can't back down: this is a must-win match for both sides. In my opinion, the hosts will bring a lot of intensity. Marseille can settle for a draw, but they're not a team that knows how to hold back too much and could thrive with plenty of space. That's why I predict a lot of goals today.

Burton Albion have lost 4 of their last 5 away games. Today they are playing at the home of the 4th-placed team, which is definitely a good moment for me. I think they will be defeated.

Cambridge United host struggling Shrewsbury. The visitors are coming off a heavy 5-1 defeat at MK Dons, while Cambridge United come into the match in great form after their 4-2 win over Tranmere. With this victory they can move up to third place, and I don't think they will let that slip away today.

Cardiff are top of the table and are the team with the best home form, so I think it will be very difficult for Barnsley, who have not won away from home in five games today.

Alcaraz is aiming for a semifinal berth for the first time in Melbourne. The top seed hasn't dropped a set so far and has looked unstoppable since the first round. De Minaur is the underdog despite his strong performances, including a convincing 6-4, 6-1, 6-1 victory over Kazakhstan's tenth seed Alexander Bublik in the previous round. The Sydney native has lost just one set in the tournament so far. As mentioned, he's playing at home, but the odds for the final victory lean toward the world number one.

So far, Zverev's first serve has proven to be a really powerful weapon and could be the key against Tien. Tien has the ability and has shown he has the talent, but stopping Zverev could be more complicated than expected, especially considering the exponential growth of the world number 3 as the rounds go by in this tournament.

Neither player has yet lost a set. While Iva Jovic has played magnificently to get this far, Aryna Sabalenka appears to be a steamroller. The Belarusian has a very solid record in this event, winning 9 of 9 matches and 18 of 18 sets this season. These numbers tip the balance toward her tenth straight victory.

The Tampa Bay Lightning have been the team in the best form lately, but now they will face another team that is going through a great period: the Utah Mammoth. On November 2nd in Salt Lake City, the Lightning won the first match 4-2. Today at home they can repeat that win.

The feeling is that this will be a very physical and tense match. It will be a game between two teams with problems that make them unlikely to take many risks. Pompey are second to last, just above the relegation zone (21st place). The Saints are stuck in mid-table (15th place), and results have been hard to come by so far. Fans are lacking enthusiasm, the management is silent in the media, and the risk of a slip-up in the season is just around the corner. The 0-0 first leg speaks volumes: tension is sky-high, chances are being rationed, and nerves are on edge. Portsmouth are hungrier, at least in the table, but they are suffering from a chronic lack of consistency and a lack of players. Southampton, with more technical talent, are suffering from an identity crisis and low motivation.

This match promises to be a tight one, with Hull starting as a slight favorite on paper thanks to home advantage. A full injury list at the Tigers makes things more complicated, but despite this, Jaki?rovic's team is achieving excellent results. Swansea are also missing several key players up front, and their defense offers little guarantee; therefore, a Hull victory is possible

Como returns to home soil with high morale after their 3-0 victory at the Olimpico against Lazio. They will face a Torino side they already beat 5-1 away in the first leg and who don't seem to have solved any problems since then, even though they have changed their lineup. I therefore believe that Como can win by at least a two-goal margin.

The hosts are second and temporarily in the promotion zone, while Preston have dropped to sixth place and risk dropping out of the play-off places. Middlesbrough have shown more brilliance in attack lately, and home advantage could play a huge role in such a heated match. Preston defend hard, but with goalkeeper absences and midfield setbacks, the match could tip in the hosts' favor.
