Athletic Bilbao had an impressive run at home last season and have remained unbeaten in their last 22 home games.
This home strength makes them a clear favorite against Getafe.

Getafe have only won one of their last 10 away games.
Their away form is weak, which makes it difficult for them to cope with a strong team like Bilbao.

Getafe have a number of injury absentees ahead of the game, including key players such as Borja Mayoral.
This weakens their offense considerably and could make it easier for Bilbao to dominate the game.

Despite mixed results in recent friendlies, Bilbao have shown they are capable of controlling and winning the game at key moments, such as the 2-0 win over Getafe in their last league clash.

• Plzen’s home advantage: Viktoria Plzen have shown an impressive record in recent home games.
  They have won several home games in a row, including a 5-0 win over Karvina, which will boost their confidence for today’s game.
• Strong form: Plzen come into the second leg with a 2-1 away win over Kryvbas, which gives them an advantage.
  Their recent form with several wins in different competitions shows that they are in good shape to dominate the game.
• Offensive strength: Plzen have shown in recent games that they are strong offensively.
  They scored regularly, including a 3-1 win, which suggests that they will be able to score multiple goals against Kryvbas as well.
• Defensive weaknesses at Kryvbas: Kryvbas have had problems in defense in recent games, especially in their 3-0 defeat against Karpaty Lviv.
  These weaknesses could be exploited by Plzen to win the game.
• Squad quality: Despite a few injuries, Plzen still have a strong team that is able to control the game and win.
  The depth of the squad allows them to compensate for absences and still play at a high level.

• Ajax’s strong home form: Ajax have shown excellent home form in recent games.
  They have won their last five home games and conceded very few goals in the process.
  This home strength gives them a clear advantage over Panathinaikos.
• Advantage from the first leg: Ajax won the first leg in Greece 1:0.
  This victory not only gives them a psychological advantage, but also the opportunity to take a controlled approach to the game and secure their place in the next round.
• Offensive options:

  Although Steven Bergwijn may not be fully fit yet, Ajax have enough offensive power with players like Steven Berghuis and Chuba Akpom to overwhelm Panathinaikos.
  Brian Brobbey could also play from the start after his substitution in the last game and bring additional danger.

   

• Zverev’s current form: Zverev comes to Cincinnati in good form after showing solid performances in recent tournaments.
  He played particularly well in Montreal, where he competed against strong opponents and reached the quarter-finals.
  This form could help him to beat Khachanov by a clear margin.
• Head-to-head (H2H): Zverev has won the last two meetings against Khachanov, including an emphatic 6:1, 6:4 at the Miami Masters this year.
  These recent successes show that Zverev is clearly capable of dominating Khachanov.
• Weak form from Khachanov: Khachanov has struggled recently, especially on hard courts.
  He has lost early in recent tournaments, which suggests that he is not in the best shape to face a player like Zverev.
• Serve strength and stability: Zverev is known for his strong serve and stability in longer rallies, which gives him a clear advantage over Khachanov, who might struggle to handle this pressure consistently.

• Current form and ranking: Holger Rune is currently one of the rising stars in tennis and is well ahead of Nuno Borges in the world rankings.
  Rune has established himself on the ATP Tour and has consistently achieved good results, which makes him a clear favorite in this match.
• Strength on hard courts: Rune has shown strong performances on hard courts in the past.
  He is known for his aggressive play and his ability to dominate on fast surfaces.
  This could give him a decisive advantage in the match against Borges, who has less experience at this level.
• Head-to-head record: Even though the two players have not faced each other often, Rune’s previous performances against similar opponents suggest that he will have the upper hand.
  Borges has shown difficulties in holding his own at a high level against players in the top 20.
• Condition and fitness: Rune is known for his physical fitness and his ability to play at a high level even in long matches.
  Borges has shown problems staying consistent over longer matches in the past, which could give Rune an advantage.
• Motivation and goals: Rune has clear goals this season, including breaking into the top 10 of the world rankings.
  This match is an important step on that path and Rune will be motivated to take his chances and secure a clear victory.
