🏒 4:00: Minnesota Wild – St. Louis Blues, NHL regular season
Intrigue: Will Minnesota wake up after changing coaches?
A seven-game losing streak led Minnesota to big changes in coaching: Dean Evason and his assistant Bob Woods were fired from their positions. Kirill Kaprizov and his partners will play the first game after the change of coach with St. Louis. Will radical changes revive drowning “savages”?
Who trains Kaprizov now?

🏀 4:00: Minnesota Timberwolves – Oklahoma City Thunder, NBA regular season
Intrigue: A battle between the two best teams in the West: who will take first place in the conference?
Contrary to expectations, Minnesota and Oklahoma currently occupy the first and second lines of the Western Conference. The Timberwolves were able to find their identity in a tough defensive game and solved the puzzle of how to effectively use both Rudy Gobert and Karl-Anthony Towns on the court. Oklahoma, after years of radical rebuilding, is now enjoying watching all the countless young talents it has acquired begin to flourish and produce concrete results. If the Thunder can beat the Minneapolis team, they will take first place in the West. Can the young team do this?
Josh Giddy’s intimate scandal:
“I met him.” Is Giddy from Oklahoma in trouble for being a minor?
🏀 4:30: Dallas Mavericks – Houston Rockets, NBA regular season
Intrigue: Texas showdown in the fight for playoff spots, who is stronger right now?
Both Texas teams are having a good season, unlike another team from the same state, San Antonio. Particularly surprising are the Rockets, who in one summer, thanks to good acquisitions and a change of coach, were able to take a big step forward and complete the restructuring. Houston managed to get wins over serious favorites, including in their last game against the reigning champion, the Denver Nuggets. Dallas is fifth in the West and the Rockets are seventh. Who can improve their position in a very competitive conference?
Alperen Shengyun thanked James Harden for his kind words:

🏒 5:00: Arizona Coyotes – Tampa Bay Lightning, NHL regular season
Intrigue: Will Tampa recover from its previous failure?
Tampa will play its second game in 24 hours. The first game of the series away from home was unsuccessful for the Lightning. John Cooper’s team lost to the Colorado Avalanche (1-4) without special options. It is already known that Russian goalkeeper Andrei Vasilevsky will not participate in the game against Arizona and will have a day off. Can the American team survive without their number one returning from injury?
⚽️ 16:00: “Orenburg” – “Spartak”, Russian Cup, RPL Route, 1/4 final
💬 Match with text broadcast
Intrigue: Will Spartak start the Cup playoffs with a victory?
“Spartak” and “Orenburg” will start on the RPL Route. The teams successfully completed the group stage of the Cup, qualifying for the upper bracket. The clubs already faced each other this season in the RPL: Spartak won 3:2. It is true that at that time Orenburg was still training Jiri Jarosik. Now the Orenburg team is led by David Deogracia. In the RPL, Spartak has won two in a row, while Orenburg has not won in six games. However, the Cup is a different story. In addition, the Orenburg team plays its first home game. And the return will occur in March. There will be time to prepare for the trip to Moscow. But still Spartak is the favorite for the next match.
According to the rules of the RPL, Spartak merged with the field in the match against Baltika:
Why can’t games be played in the snow, there’s no red ball and you can’t change your uniform? Miracles of RPL rules
⚽️ 18:00: Zenit Saint Petersburg – Belogorye, Super League (m), eighth matchday
Intrigue: how will the St. Petersburg team behave after the wave of successes in the Russian Cup?
“Belogorye” has a real chance to score three points in St. Petersburg: the hosts, exhausted by the additional workload in the Russian Cup, can once again present a suboptimal lineup. After all, this weekend is already the second leg against Dynamo to reach the final and the opportunity to continue fighting for the trophy. The Belgorod team spent a week preparing; Tomorrow they can get closer to the top three.
Fire matches in the Russian Cup:
“How can it? Give me the red now! Dramatic final of the Russian Volleyball Cup
⚽️ 18:15: Rostov – CSKA, Russian Cup, RPL Route, quarterfinals
💬 Match with text broadcast
Intrigue: the current holder of the Cup continues to defend the trophy
Rostov and CSKA played a fun match in the first round of the RPL, with a score of 3-3. Now the scoring spectacle can move to the Russian Cup. According to the results of the group stage, the teams placed in the top 2 of their quartets. The draw took them to the quarter-finals of the RPL Path. CSKA is the current winner of the Russian Cup. There is no doubt that the military team is not against winning the trophy for the second consecutive year. However, the field factor works in favor of Rostov in the first match. And the second leg will only take place in March. Maybe this will help Karpin’s team move further into the top bracket?
Did the judge help Rostov in the last round of the RPL?
Karpin’s Rostov once again received “help” from the referees. Table of judges’ errors after round 16
⚽️ 18:15: Dynamo – Zenit, Russian Cup, RPL Route, quarterfinals
💬 Match with text broadcast
Intrigue: a repetition of one of the most epic signals of the last Russian Cup
In the last edition, Zenit and Dynamo faced each other in the lower category of the Cup and played an epic match. Then, the blue and white won in the penalty shootout in Saint Petersburg. It is true that in the next round Dynamo was eliminated by Akron. Now Dynamo faces Zenit in the upper bracket.
A two-match confrontation reduces the probability of a “crazy” victory. And even in case of defeat, there is still the Path of the Regions, where you can continue fighting for the trophy. The first match of the teams will take place in Moscow. Both Dinamo and Zenit have gained good momentum, the match will surely be interesting. Who will be luckier?

🏒 19:00: Torpedo – Lokomotiv, KHL regular championship
💬 Match with text broadcast
Intrigue: Will Torpedo break the series of defeats?
Igor Larionov’s team suffered three defeats in a row for the second time this season. And this time, breaking the long streak of failures will be quite problematic. The Nizhny Novgorod team is experiencing serious personnel problems. There are a lot of leaders in nursing. And on Wednesday Lokomotiv will arrive in Nizhny Novgorod, having achieved six victories in the last seven games. Can Torpedo break the series of failures?
What does Igor Larionov think about the torpedo crisis?
Larionov: about three defeats in a row – our team is growing before our eyes, gaining experience
⚽️ 20:45: Galatasaray – Manchester United, Champions League, Group A, fifth round
💬 Match with text broadcast
Intrigue: Will Manchester United miss the Champions League playoffs?
United have a complicated situation in the Champions League group. After four rounds, Erik ten Hag’s team occupies the last and fourth place, adding only three points. In the first match against Galatasaray, the English lost at home 2:3. You won’t envy the Mancunian fans. Now we need to beat Galatasaray in Istanbul to overtake them in the standings. And I hope Bayern faces Copenhagen. Manchester United will then move up to second place. True, in the last round they will have to play with Bayern… In general, difficult times for United in the Champions League.
The young Manchester United star repeated Rooney’s legendary goal:
Wow! The Manchester United player repeats Rooney’s great goal
⚽️ 23:00: Real Madrid – Napoli, Champions League, Group C, 5th matchday
💬 Match with text broadcast
Intrigue: Real Madrid won’t let Napoli book a playoff spot?
Real Madrid has already secured participation in the round of 16 of the Champions League. The Madrid team scored 12 points in four games. But Napoli have not yet booked their place in the next round. The Italians have seven points. Although they are well ahead of Braga and Unión, second place should be guaranteed. This can be done following the results of the away match with Real Madrid. Difficult task. Furthermore, the coach of the Neapolitans has changed: Walter Mazzarri came in instead of Rudi García. Maybe the changes will be beneficial and Napoli will create a mini sensation?
Mazzarri already worked at Napoli. And he even won a trophy with the team:
“I am a unique coach.” After the second resignation in six months, Napoli recovered an old hero
